Fun game
Glad they made more levels… but such a short game. Disappointed
Why
The game broke when I went to a new level
It’s kinda good
I like it but takes SO LONG for my people to grab the materials and the font for the game looks basic
10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Can I get an update with bug fixes and modern iOS and iPhone optimization please?
Game frozen
Game is frozen also inactive buttons.
Love this game
Great game to fill free time. Hopefully more is added. (Edit) I have replayed this game many times it’s still fun! I really wish it could get an update or at least a fix so that when it restarts after completing it would work without having to reinstall ✌🏼
Addictive, until it stopped working
Was having fun with the game. Paid the $5 for no ads because I immediately saw that the pathfinding was intentionally designed to take as long as possible for maximum ad views. But I figured, why not? Five bucks isn’t bad for a few hours of fun. Then the pathfinding completely broke at the end and my people stopped getting food from the farm. I’m not going to start over. I want a refund. This is why these ad based games suck. No attention to detail, just cash grabs.
Great game but needs more levels
UPDATE: Here we are a year later and this game had so much potential but was just pushed off and forgotten. If you decide to pick it back up then add more levels and make the survivalist be able to harvest only specific items while the app isn’t open. I enjoy this game. It’s fun and it’s something I can easily do while waiting. I saw where the developer just recently made some bug fixes but I wish they would add more levels. This is the only game of theirs I like and I’ve tried some of their other games. If this game had more levels and was continuously expanding then I would pay to get rid of the ads and I’d pay for resources too but with only 2 levels…I’m not wasting my money on no ads.
Stuck
Got stuck on a tire that was not able to be activated to search. Too bad was fun but clearly broken.
Fun game over fast.
Would be 5 stars cause it was a really fun game that made you wanna keep playing. That lasted 2 days because there is only 2 levels. Woulda been awesome if it was a full fledged game with multiple maps. So for that it’s down graded to 3 stars overall. 5 stars for game play and style 1 star for lack of levels.
Make more
Need to make more levels.
Always with bugs
As the title said. And Once u got through the higher level and the game said it is game over and put me back to the first lvl back to the beginning. Once ppl hugging somewhere u get no place to go and it will be frozen screen. Then u try to quit the app and come back. It will start over... No account login Or data save...
楽しいんですが…
ステージ2をクリアしたら…最初に戻ります(T ^ T)そして、動かす人も消えます😂
Game breaking bugs
5 minutes into the game there are already bugs that make me unable to progress. When you get to the fence requiring dynamite there is no way to acquire said dynamite. On top of that you are only able to upgrade the humans speed. Also unable to send anyone on expeditions with the truck. I will be asking for a refund, don’t even think about buying ad free unless this game is fixed. You’ve been warned!
Bugged saving
I just lost maybe an hour or 2 of time because I left the app got back on and I’m set back like 2 hours and now I can’t find the save with cloud button WTH
Play it again
Really enjoyed this game. Completed all three levels. Really hope more gets made. I just wish they had a reset option because I’d totally play it again but it looks like I’m going to have to redownload it to make it happen. Really love the concept as well as the way it works. Great job guys.
Stuck…
I get stuck on this game quite a bit. There’s no instructions to help you out. It’s frustrating having to try and figure out what you need to do to progress or make something work. I quit playing the game for a long time because of that. Right now I’m stuck on repairing the truck to start a new city. I have three tires left. The tires are white, but no one will pick them up. I have no idea if I need to complete some other task before I can pick them up and I can’t find anything on YouTube that shows that process. Seems like people skip over that part, tell you to go to their other channel for that info, and you’re left hanging. I can’t even upgrade anything anymore and I don’t know why. I might just have to find another game to play… Not fun anymore.
Stuck
Some of the people get stuck
Can’t complete map 2
Can’t pick up tank and battery to complete map 2. Workers also forget what they are doing sometimes and I have to reset the app to get them unstuck. The game is broken.
Two levels…
I paid for the license to play without ads and get all rewards. I was very disappointed to see there are only two levels to this. I would have liked to be able to control the characters more or at least to set priority in tasks. Lots of potential here.
Sound
Love the game. But after all those adds - sound disappears. Prob a glitch.
Pay to play
This game is money hungry. You need to purchase a player to even start the second lvl. When you complete the game and want to play again and no way to get a shovel to start playing again. In all I spent about $30 for a game that was fun, it wants you to spend more to play again. Fun game but it needs some major adjustments. In no way is it loyal to the players.
I really like this game
I really like this game, it’s sucks however that there are only two levels. I really hope that more levels are added to it but seeing as the last update was two months ago and before that a year ago, I just don’t see it happening. Was fun though just needs more.
Mindless fun, but annoying
This game doesn’t have much to it so it is a great time sink. However, as great as a time sink is (that’s why I scroll in the idle games), this game has some serious things that irk me. The settings are so uninvolved with only music on/off and sound on/off. I was hoping that there would be some more fine tuned things that I could change, like the fact that I can’t see the inventories because I have an iPhone. The camera is blocking that very important information, and a simple switch in the settings of where I want these to show up would fix that. Also, the path finding is so very annoying. The people will go pick stuff up, and if a craft is open, they will never simply take supplies directly from the salvage point to the craft. They have to sit it into inventory and then take forever to pick it back up and go the king way round to the craft spot. Also, if someone is targeting, let’s say, food, EVERYONE is targeting food. So when there is only 4 food left four people will arrive at the same time and pick a single food up and put it into inventory. This is very annoying considering one person could EASILY carry all 4 and the others could do ANYTHING else.
On 1 prestige
I went through all the maps and made it back to the first map. I have no beds and no people to build and thing. Game over.
To developers
Pleas update
Soft locked by a tire
Basically what the title says I’m soft lock by a tire I can’t get any dynamite and it’s just real frustrating
More!!
I agree with the previous comments, you do have to reload at times but it’s still a fun and addictive way to pass time!! Sadly though, after 2 levels I’m done! And I don’t seem to go back and play again as there is no one there and I’m not buying a character! Maybe the developer could let us play the same 2 levels again until they ,hopefully, expand the game??
Farm not farmed
After upgrading the farm, idle survivors would farm carrots from it to restock food. But this continues only until closing the app. Once starting the app next time, idle survivors will never collect carrots from farm until it’s upgraded again. Stupid mechanic or annoying bug. Either way, this shows devs don’t test their own game. Resources are limited and those food from farm are necessity in order to progress, yet idle survivors won’t collect them. Broken game, thus 2 out of 5 in rating.
Minor issue
Game is good but when my people are looting abandoned homes or cars, they get stuck. Or when I want to upgrade it won’t do it either. I know this game has its age, but I would really love to see this issue fixed
Only two levels
I liked that the game would be based on real life as in finding out resources up the fact that only two levels had disappointed me. As I finished the second level it went back to level one but there are no players. Did I waste my time on this? Please make more levels as I enjoyed it. The reason two stars is only two levels
Waste of space
Too many ads to enjoy the game. Very disappointed
Too short
Add more levels please 🙏
Very dissatisfied
Liked the game at first made it thru the first two truck upgrades but when it came to the third section of the game to start building stuff again there was no people to build even bought people and still wouldn’t work and a ton of glitches where the game would freeze I would close the app go back in but all the progress I had made was undone and I would have to redo everything. Very disappointing and a waste of the money I did spend.
What happened
I think this is a great game, but after I beat the game I don’t have a character now what’s going on. It only has three levels but cool game though
Amazing
I love how you can work up your civilisation in a post-apocalyptic world
Game is abandoned
I’ve been trying to play this one but it doesn’t work just started it doesn’t do anything
バグ？
めちゃくちゃ面白い！！ でも何回かバグって何度もアンストしての繰り返しでした。(放置系は好きだからセーフ) 1面？でのトラックの修理は終わったのですが、出発がどこか分からない( ´･ω･`) 修理終わって食べ物とか積んだのにまた1からは辛い笑
Pretty good but…
I loved the game, but when I bought the upgrade pack, I finished the game pretty quick, but now it’s frozen.
Bug fix
Needs bug fix game sound goes away after ad plays
New level
Great game love it but when are we getting a new level
Don’t Download This game
This game is NOTHING like the ADs at all, you have to keep playing the game in order for your characters to keep gathering items if you leave/close the game your characters stop gathering items so because of this issue it took me a h Year to move to the 2nd level
Good game but broken
Stuck on second level. Collected fuel tank & filled it with fuel, but it’s not showing the tank has been collected so can’t progress any further. (If only I could add a screen shot because I took a photo)
Crashed
Crashed on the first level, so unable to go past looting the first lot of cars as no dynamite. Slow but enjoyable start to the game. Needs fixing.
Finished
I have completed the game but to find out you cannot do anything after it’s done, you can’t restart, you can’t prestige or anything and I have also spent $20-$30 just to find out when the games finished it’s a useless app on my phone
Great game BUT……..
The concept of the game is really enjoyable however there are multiple bugs were you lose your progress and every time you close the game you end up having to redo everything you have just done to level up, works disappear and resources glitch and are stuck in suspension where you can’t collect any more or upgrade work stations. A few bug fixes and extra content, new maps and this game will be awesome.
Don’t waste your time
There is absolutely no help or tips with this game, I am still updating stuff and it gets me no where. Very glad I didn’t spend money on it . Don’t your time if your are thinking of downloading, I’m getting ready to delete it.
Fun but complicated
Fun game BUT the adds never finish anymore just turns into a black screen and I’m getting kicked out :(
Dynamite wasn’t in any car
I can’t progress since the dynamite didn’t spawn in
Idle
Characters get idle too often.
