Good, but I want to purchase
I’ve loved this game for years and always come back to it for a good run. I would just love to support the game and get rid of my ads by purchasing stuff. Hope that I can soon!
Ads
I used to play the game, went back recently for some nostalgia, but it’s so full of non-optional adds and pushing you to spend money, that I cannot enjoy the game under all the ads.
like it
i like this game a lot but there are sooooooooo many ads and whenever i try to purchase gems, it won’t let me. so i’m stuck with an ad every 3 minutes
Too many adds now
I never write reviews. I played this game years ago and never had as many ads show up as I do now. Literally every second or third action I do there’s a 30-45 second add that also has a wait delay of 15-30 seconds. This is just too much to keep me actively playing. There’s no point in playing when it’s mostly ads.
Fun, but glitchy and unforgiving.
Neat interface, lots of content. I paid to remove interstitial ads. Unfortunately, the game is still virtually unenjoyable without looking up solutions to the text adventure problems and knowing your options. The app is also littered with glitches. Here are a couple that I’d like to see fixed: -Display error in build menu where your special parts are not visible. -Error in build menu where you will be randomly taken to a different section of the menu; can lead to mis-taps if it happens right before you’re about to build something. -Error in exploration interface where you will be randomly taken to another area without selecting it. Similar to the above issue in the build menu. Can also lead to misallocation of survivors if you don’t catch it. There are more, of course. I’d really like the development team to fix these if they’re going to keep earning revenue off of the app through IAP and advertising.
Great time waster
Cool game I play with my wife
Good game littered with garbage
Too many ads, too much p2w bs, and just a completely garbage game that could’ve been good otherwise.
👍
Content locked behind Facebook :(
Save file issue
I played this game years ago and recently decided to revisit it, since I knew I saved via Facebook I just linked it again and it worked for a while. But when I “unlocked” the flag building it crashed. I uninstalled and tried again and it crashes. This is across all devices, including non iOS devices. It’s a shame since I was super far and had a lot of survivors unlocked. I refuse to play through it again as I have already done so and spent money on the game.
Ad problem
Remember playing the game years ago, it was amazing. Downloaded it again for nostalgia and it forces an ad every minute, the hec?
Good game
Nice
Cute game but way too many ads
People who claim “No ads” are lying. There’s one in your face every 10 seconds. It’s a shame bc the game is actually really cute, but the ads are untenable.
I love this game, but…
I absolutely love this game, I love the art style, I love the story and I love the style of play. The only things I would change about it are the wait timers and the wait for resources in labor sites. The long wait timers start to make the game playable for only short bursts as once all your survivors are busy, all you can do is play the tinker garden or play a different app. I think an addition mini-game would help to pass the time! Have also noticed a bug in the game where if your phone dies, you get zero resources when you log back in, regardless of how long you have been away from the game with your survivors working in their labor sites. Side note: I loved the fishing version of the tinker garden mini game that you have to play to unlock Otto. I thought it was very well done.
Decent game ruined by ads
The game itself is a nice idle game. The problem is the constant ad triggers. If you play the game, there is an ad for every third or fourth action. If you open the game, there are constant ads. If you think of the game in passing while going about your day, an ad triggers. If the game is on your phone and you happen to glimpse your phone out of the corner of your eye, an ad triggers.
Some ads are broken
Things take a little long to complete. Fights are way too difficult. I have to wait for team to heal 2-4 times to finish a single battle and there are no more upgrades for fight strength. And when I try to watch videos to quickly heal them, it constantly goes to Revolt page which there is no way out of and I never get the ad watch reward.
GARDEN
I love the garden mini game so much
Not what it looks like
If you’re thinking this is a game where you can walk around (at all), so did I. It is not. Good day.
Would have been 5 if only……
THERE WASNT SO MUCH FRIGGIN ADS!
ruined by ads
i had this game a few years ago and enjoyed it a lot, so i thought i'd redownload it and play again . . . but it's absolutely ruined by constant intrusive ads that interrupt gameplay and waste the short timed boosts to production and speed. i can't go two rounds of exploration without getting an ad that i have to click the X on three or four times before it actually closes instead of changing to a different part of the ad. it's infuriating!!
good game but wayyy too many ads
I used to play this game a couple years ago and loved it. very fun and interesting storyline, cool missions, and i love the garden mini game. its a great way to spend time, especially while youre waiting for your survivors to finish a mission or harvest materials. however, the game has a few issues. for one, the loading screen frequently freezes, and sometimes i cant even get into the game. you are also constantly bombarded with ads. in the past, you used to be able to choose to watch ads in order for a little prize or temporary power up. now, ads constantly appear just while youre doing the standard gameplay. it gets highly frustrating, especially as you cant skip them and they pop up ALL the time. all these ads have made me want to delete the app theyre so annoying. another issue for me is that once you reach level 170 in the garden mini game, it’s virtually impossible. ive tried to beat it countless times but there’s basically no way. very disappointing bc i loved that mini game and now i cant even play it. overall a solid game but desperately needs some tweaks
Love this Game
This was already hands down my favorite iPhone game of all time but then although through a purchase I unlocked Gem Mining!!! I’m already more then happy to make purchase’s in this game the content speaks for itself, so anyway I can help to keep it going I’m down. But to have an even easier way to get gems like thank you guyz so much please keep making more content I love it. (Disclaimer I don’t know if a certain amount of purchase unlocked the option for me and that to was a purchase but it was like $3 so worth it for me and I’ve had the game for years making purchases here and there so def always support your favorite games and God willing they show some love Tinker Island does for sure)
LovED this game
So I just recently found bears knife in the swamp and so OF COURSE I equipped on of my survivors with it and went to the hidden hut only to find out you can’t give it to him like that. There’s no other option other than to spend 200 gems to bribe him and this to me is SO STUPID because why would that even be an option. I can’t do anything with it now and if it’s replaced it won’t come back. The gameplay is mid but I was ignoring all the flaws like (ridiculous gem prices, time restrictions, FORCED PARTICIPATION IN THINGS YOU DONT WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN) I don’t understand why you don’t have the option to NOT participate in the Christmas event and monster fighting. Ever single time I open the app I get 5+ forced story reading of the same thing over and over again. The amount of ads is not even the problem it’s the restrictions you have on the game with absolutely no going back. This game needs some serious work and maybe for someone who doesn’t know anything about the game play, and tell you how it went. I also feel like of course ur gonna know everything in the game you produced so just try to think abt ppl who no nothing about the game getting demolished with no coming back from it.
Fun games but the ads are sometimes too much
This game is pretty fun but most games that have people that watch ads and pay money to progress faster don’t also give you ads while your in game. Also there’s a glitch with the ads for speed up where u have to watch 2 ads bc the first one doesn’t work
So many adds!!!!
Would be only an OK game if there weren’t SO MANY ADDS!!!!!!! Ridiculous
Gem spending
The game is great I love them story, and it’s a good way to spend some down time on something fun. The only problem I have is when your characters die. If you have spent gems to speed everything up it does not apply to there revive cycles which I feel it should. You would still have to watch a video or wait however long, but it would be within the time frame you had and you wouldn’t constantly be watching 3-4 videos all the time.
Minigame not working
Just started my playthrough, got to the part where they introduce the minigame and it won’t even let me drag the seed to the board. Tried closing and reopening the game, tried it while there were survivors at camp and while there were none, even reinstalled the game, still doesn’t work. The rest is awesome of course :) just hoping the devs see this and fix it 🙏
Game unplayable due to iPhone Notch
I played this game a long time ago, and I loved it. I recently just remembered and decided to play it again. Upon opening the app, I noticed a fatal flaw. The deadzones for the app were not set up in a way where the UI is fully visible on an iPhone 13. The notch at the tip of the screen covers the location halfway, and the materials at the button of the screen are cut off a little by the iPhone’s curves. Could you please please fix this? I would make it five stars if you do.
Toturial bug
The game is fantastic but there’s a bug in the toturial that I need to build a boat but also have to do a campfire before I continue but I can’t ignore the boat but it’s a fun game
Too many adverts
The game is good and I’m fine with trading advertisement time for benefits, but when five minutes of play time is filled with two to three back to back ads it’s hard to stay involved. I spent so much time watching ads for one app that I deleted this on and downloaded the one that was advertised
Too many ads
The ads take away the game play experience. It would definitely be a 5 if not for that.
Nostalgia
I haven’t played or seen this game since I was a kid and it brings back so much for me and i cant wait to play this game again and the next game too! I hope the developers see this and have an amazing day!
Used to be the best app on the App Store
Core gameplay is still unbeatable but there are ads every 2 minutes. Never used to be like this, the only times there were ads before was when you CHOSE to watch one to get a reward, but even then you were being ripped off. The rewards you would get probably weren’t even worth $0.05. You’d think with the amount of money they’re making form the ad you watched, they could give you a halfway descent reward, especially when it’s a digital currency that has no real value, they only press a button and you have it, but I digress. You don’t need a constant flow of revenue, especially for a game you never do anything with. I wouldn’t mind the revenue if you were frequently working on the game, giving it massive updates, and well… you know… ACTUALLY EARNING the money. Spamming ads every 2 minutes is lazy and pathetic. You want more money? EARN IT! It’s amazing how much greediness ruins people. Thanks for wasting my time.
Garden glitch
This game is the best but in the high levels of that evil garden, they DON’T GIVE YOU THE NESSESARY TOOLS TO WIN sorry if I seem angry but I hate not having the tools I need to win.
Can’t restore purchases
🙃I got a new phone now I can’t restore my purchases….
missing characters???
the game itself isnt bad but i left for like 2 days came back and im missing half my survivors and no idea what happened to them
I love this game!!!
I love the mysteries of this game.
Crushing ads.
About every three minutes, and they’re not optional. Among the worst I’ve ever seen in a game.
A
Very cool, and good.
An ad for every minute of game
It’s way annoying. Not engaging enough to pay for it
Loved this game, no restore purchases tho?
Loved this game and played a lot years ago, thought I’d redownload and enjoy it some more and possibly beat it! Nope, starting all over :/ can’t restore my purchases neither. Not sure if I’m up to starting over, otherwise, great game.
Great Game!
Great game to play. Great explanation of how to play. So far no glitches or anything. Interesting storyline that keeps you interested.
Great game, recently ruined by monetization UX
Update: Dropping my review even more. Later on in the game you have to mine the “reef” and “haberdashery” points hundreds and hundreds of times to earn materials to improve your village, and the game punishes you by making you wait for a false “talking” … dialogue, click twice, AND open a chest. For the love of god, remove the dialogue after the first time you mine these point, it’s AGGRESSIVELY user-unfriendly Original: Tinker Island was a beautiful gem of a game, and stands easily as my favorite idler of all time. Sadly, they must have hired a new monetization consultant, because the newest update trashes a wonderful pixelated interface with massive 'buy with gems' buttons on almost every element in the game. I happily and willingly bought the DLC packs, but your gems are over priced and utterly useless in the late game. Now, you can't even see what the buildings you're trying to build DO, because you have to click away from a huge abrasive 'buy with gems' button to get to the description. A huge step backwards for the first mobile idler that motivated me to spend a pretty good amount of money on it because I was getting a benefit. Sad!
fun fun fun lolz
funfunfunfunfunfunfun lolz
Used to love it but they ruined it.
I used to play this game every day for at least an hour. They’ve ruined it with the new update. All the ads they’ve added ruined it. Not the optional ones. The ones you cannot skip. There is way too many. Was a way better game before. No longer will be playing it.
Г
Что делать если игра забагалась? Я переустанавливал игру
amazing
great
Ads with a game on the side
Do you like nonstop ads? This is the “game” for you. You do literally anything and get an ad right after doing it. Repeatedly. Ads after every little task. This is literally an app for watching ads and sometimes you get inconvenienced into doing something on the game that takes 5 seconds, then guess what, more 30 sec ads!
Good but a few things
I really like this game a lot but when it comes to build times for things it tends to get annoying when something takes two hours to build and it also requires 30k building so just a thought
Won’t open anymore
Played till mid game. Assign all survivors on their tasks and the work won’t start. Close the app and restart and it froze on loading screen. Reinstall can’t do the trick either. The app just can’t start anymore.
Не восстановился прогресс
Играл в данную игру много месяцев. Огромное количество часов было проведено в ней. Было интересно. Но поменял телефон и вуаля- весь прогресс сбросился. Очень жаль, играл бы и дальше. За это 3 звезды. Если есть возможность восстановить мой прогресс- поставлю 5 звёзд.
