It doesn’t let me play the game
I downloaded the game, thinking it would be fun, but I tried to play the game, but I couldn’t play wants me to get a subscription
Great game when I was younger
I read it. Somebody had an issue with paying because they used to not be a paid version of this game. You told them they could play the free version but when I tried to get off the screen that tells me to pay or have a free trial it doesn’t allow me to so how do you pay or how do you play the free version of this game because you told the other person oh no it’s you pay for the upgrades and stuff that’s not what’s happening here and why have people pay for a game that was so cool
WASTE OF TIME
Don’t waste your time downloading this garbage. The game says free in the App Store but once you open it, it’s locked behind a Subscription Paywall. What a Ripoff. You developers should be ashamed advertising it as free when it’s absolutely NOT!!! 🤬
WTH do I have to do a free trial to play?!?!
OK, so let’s just say I just downloaded the game and it’s like telling me the basics before I can get to start actually playing it and it was like free trial or yearly plan, blah blah blah and it’s just really annoying cause I’ve been spending an entire hour now and still I cannot get off that screen I’ve literally thrown my phone around the room. This game is literally scamming me so OK it is a pretty cool game, but it will not let me play it. I don’t know if it’s just me or I’m just. I’m just stupid but still I’ve literally tried to get off the free trial or yearly plan and it will not let me get off of it. And finally to finish it off this game is just stupid stupid stupid one star for this review and I literally checked the set the day after I got it and still it was on that stupid screen. This game is a scam. Do not download it. Nobody wants to pay to play it. It’s a stupid Phone game you have to to do a stupid yearly plan or do a three trial and then you pay money. It’s stupid game absolute scam. Nobody should play it so terrible. Nobody should play it one star also my main question is why the heck does it have so many stars if I cannot get off the main page?
Scam
The developers will say you only have to pay for certain things in the game but they are lying. You have to pay a subscription to even get into the game
Do not waste your time on this nonsense
This game is not for nine and up because I am nine and I can't even play it because it cost money and I'm a nine-year-old and nine-year-olds don't have money. Do not waste your time on this game. It makes you pay money and you cannot play unless you pay for the money and you have to like pay $50 per year do not recommend do not play one star and I really wanted to play this cause I saw YouTuber playing it and I thought I could record a video cause I'm a YouTuber too. This is the worst game ever would've been fun. If you didn't have to pay do not waste your time.😣
1 star for paid sub
Why would anyone play a game that hides itself in a sub fee and not in a 1 time purchase? Utterly dumb and should be reported to apple.
Code on island with a lake
I put the passcode 4 8 15 on island with a lake and it does not work. I am so frustrated. I love this game up until now.So I started ed. A new game and lost everything I bought
Amazing but ridiculous
It’s an amazing game but having to pay weekly or monthly or yearly for a game is ridiculous. It’s a mobile game not some triple A game on console or pc
I HATE THIS
I played the playable ad and it looked really cool, so I decided to download the game and RIGHT when I open it, it tells you to subscribe. The worst part? Expensive as HELL.
Pay wall killed it
Came to play and can’t get past the pay wall …spent years playing and building my boat just to be blocked out..
Pay to play
You need to subscribe to some stupid subscription to play, what about the people who want to play, but don’t want to pay? This is nothing more than a cash grab, and it’s nothing like the ads, please make sure you fix this
paywall
I was excited to try this game but right when I loaded it up it was trying to force me to pay a subscription to be able to play. Why even make it free, also why would I pay a subscription for a game instead of buying it. Completely wrong.
Don’t bother
Sure the game is fun, I enjoyed playing it, but it’s FILLED to the brim with microtransactions. You want to store your things? Build a chest. Want to unlock more than 1/3 of the spaces in your chest? You have to watch 15 ads. Want to build another chest? Too bad, you’re allowed max one chest and the only way to get more is to spend $5. The game is pay to win, and it’s so disappointing.
Had to pay $50 dallars
Why do I have to pay 50 dollars when I can get another game for free
?
Do you have to pay to play and can’t see a skip button🤬
😤
No me deja entrar al juego cuesta muy caro y me exige que me suscriba
Do not buy this game. It does not say that it is money.
This game really sucks. I mean I haven’t played it inside but the real game is pretty good itself but on the title it doesn’t say anything about buying the game having to pay. It’s pretty expensive honestly there’s free ones just like this so go get those ones not this one this one sucks.
It’s a paid game. Where’s the free part?!
I used to play this game for free. Earlier today, I saw an ad with this game in it and saying that it’s free. I downloaded the gae to get back to the old days of playing this game. But it turns that it’s either pay to play or get out of here
What a shame!
What a shame!
Terrible just terrible
Sorry to say terrible but that payment is way to much for a mobile game it looked good but in the ad it said i was free not for a trial just free. Please make it free then you’ll have a lot more people playing cause i know I’m not going to pay that price and other people probably won’t wanna pay the price too.
Pay to play?
Downloaded the game because seemed interesting got into and and it asked for a payment method to play it and that’s when the free to play game lost my interest and it got deleted maybe if it wasn’t pay to play with free download and just made it a paid game would of gotten a different review or no review at all
Sorry, one star because I thought it was 9+ and I have to pay for it😭😭👹
I would read it so much better if I did not have to pay for it I only waited. It wouldn’t start cause I had to pay for it and also Im nine years old and I do not know have no credit card so I do not know what they mean. My parents would not want to pay for it so if I did not have to pay for it, I would read it five out of five and I will give it the best ever reading but so long if you have to pay for it, but I do not have a credit card so that is disappointing developer survival games please give me a response and give it an update make the would pay for it please then I will give it five stars in a great route and a great review but if you don’t, then I will have to never play it again until I am 21 or even have a credit card so I would trade this a even better reading than this, but please make it with no credit card needed please developer. Please see this one and not give it a bad response please I would appreciate it if it is not needed that that happens. I will immediately downloaded it again because Ip I mean I will be deleting this game until you make it for no credit card please. I hope you see this review and please make it with no credit card needed thank you.🥰🥰
Lied
It says 3 day free trial original price 11 dollars but it charged my card 13 dollars
Not Free!
The description says the subscription is for enhanced play only but that is not true. You either get the subscription or you don’t play.
Why does it cost money to play a game
Like why I’m not spending 50 dollars on a game that I’m barely playing
NOT FREE
Says free till you download the game and load up the main menu to find a credit card payment to play the game. False advertising.
Decent game
I liked playing the game, what I am sad about is that I needed to pay to play it. I thought I had found a fun free game but I had to actually pay (a ton of) money to actually access it.
Locked behind paywall
The Devs say you can play for free, and devs if you think that you should try playing your own game because there is no option to skip signing up for a sub on fresh install.
“Free Game” until you play
You can download the game for free but in order to actually play you’ll need to buy a subscription. What a joke honestly
I can’t even play it
So I tried to play because I used to, but now it’s making me get a premium subscription to play. I used to play this, and it was good, but I want it to be free
Money
For me it made me pay money just to enjoy and bonuses and dude I. Just want to play the game and I’m tired of spending money like BRO
Do not buy it
You have to pay a lot of money
Ads
Full of ads !! Literally you can’t do anything without paying to unlock something stupid to speed up or to guarantee your survival!
Useless
Makes you pay right when you open the app
It used to be free
Won’t let you play unless you pay real money hungry 🥲
subscription to play a game???
this is the greed spoken about in the bible. $12 weekly i might as well be buying a full pc game every week
Horrible
Won’t let me play u less I pay for stuff
一坨屎
一坨屎
Money
YOU HAVE TO PAY 💰 NEVER BUY
Terrible game
This is not a fun game because I need to buy it with the **** free trial because you guys can’t make a **** free game. I guess you guys are so good. It’s such a good game. It’s a terrible game that people have to pay to play this game that’s how terrible you guys are **** hard I’m suing you
Money trap
You can’t see a second of the game without them having your credit card information. “Free” trial is cute - don’t fall for this.
Why do I have to pay?
Before this game was free to play but now every time I try to get on it says to pay for free trial or yearly, why did you do this? This game was peak until you made this, i recently got a new phone and now i tried to install and the installation was free but the game isn’t
I hate this
Platnoe govnishe
Es pura mentira
Dijeron que no iban a cobrar nada y es mentira tienes que pagar mucho dinero 💰 💴 💵
Pay to play are the WORST!
Can’t play if you don’t pay first or use the one week trial!
Subscription
Needing a subscription of 11.99 a week is a scam!!! Devs are greedy asf
Subscription
I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else, but it wont let me get past the “ENJOY THE GAME AND GET BONUSES” screen. There’s no X, no “No thanks!”, no “continue without subscription” There’s nothing. I HAVE to pay for it. I’m sure it’s a fun game, but as of now, I can’t access its contents. I will keep my review at two stars unless I find out how to deal with this problem.
I can’t play
I wasn’t able to play this game because my mawmaw didn’t approve because it ask for my money but I played the ad and it was good
Used to be better
I remember when I first played this game years ago it was a simple game that had some in app purchases but you could still enjoy the game, but now you barley have any storage space, you have to spend money on chests to have more room and there’s limits from how many things you can put down if you don’t spend money, but if you can look past that it’s still kinda enjoyable to play, I just wish they didn’t restrict so much behind a paywall.
Add controller
Ima crash out if you don’t add console availability 😡
