3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Since I don't have money I can't.
★★★★★ The job of a lite version is to make you want to spend your money on the full version, but a poorly done lite version is a good warning that the full version won't be worth the money.
★★★★★ Want to buy it but don't want to spend money in something I can't use.

Huh

Funny thing - this is the first game I downloaded on my iOS devices ever.. imma check it out again :)

★★★★★Oct 26, 2025
It's ok but...

I set the females of 20-45 to "parenting" before I go to bed on fast speed. I woke up to 27 villagers! Beyond what is supposedly possible. ☺️ However, I have not been able to complete all the puzzles because they all died or are to old to have babies now. Have 3 puzzles to finish. These games should all be free in my opinion. This one I have played for many years and have yet to finish all the puzzles. ☹️ And yes I could get it for the $.99 but why?

★★★★★Sep 1, 2025
Look up the puzzle solutions

It’s a great game. A little frustrating because of the limited population size. But that just makes it a bit more challenging. I’ll take that over needing to pay. There’s a great wiki for puzzle solutions, and I adore how you aren’t punished for all your villagers dying. You just get new ones, and they keep the tech points, food, and upgrades you had. It’s a wonderful game. Making an elder is hard, cause you can’t use the breeding trick, but with an event for either instant master doctor or builder, you can level up farming and research pretty quick, and get an elder. It’s takes a bit of luck, cause sometimes the villager just won’t do it, but it’s possible.

★★★★★Jan 27, 2025
TECH POINTS!?!?

Now…yall know yall wrong for making some of these tiers on this game an absurd amount in order to unblock the next level. 180,000 tech points for level 3 farming??? 32,000 just to be able to accumulate more tech points? That’s wild.

★★★★★Apr 18, 2022
DO NOT DOWNLOAD

U only get a population of 8 villagers and it takes too long to kill off a villager even if it says ‘sick’ it’s best to have at least two kids because u need the kids for collectibles

★★★★★Aug 3, 2018
Fun

You can keep your fire going by dragging a villager over to dry wood and he will put more on fire making it last longer but no u shouldnt let it go out
