Tiny Island Survival for Pc

So far, the game is great. It’s the perfect time killer and it’s fun to explore and unlock new resources or npc’s across the map. However, there are a few tweaks that I really think the game could benefit from. First off, either give us a way to speed up ore generation wether it be an upgrade through gold coins or materials, or just speed it up in general. When upgrades start to require more than 10 pieces of an ore it’s extremely sluggish having to wait while you just farm extra wood and stone that you don’t need. Second off, please add a gate in the upper right barrier between the iron and the silver. It’s annoying having to run across the perimeter of the map just to get one resource that takes super slow to spawn. Even when you have barriers around both ore generators to protect it from mobs the fact that you have to run around the map just to get to them is sluggish and annoying. Or possibly give us a way to increase movement speed as the character is really slow. That could be an upgrade too and it could cost gold coins or material. One more thing that’s more of a quality of life rather than critical game mechanic change. Allow us to pin upgrades so while we are out collecting resources we can look in our inventory or maybe a whole new tab and see exactly how many resources we still need to make our upgrade.

The game is essentially as advertised; you are on a single pixel art island going through a gathering and crafting loop to progress further inland. That said, the game is very compelling and superbly well made. There is no dialogue or tutorial but the game design itself explains essentially all of the mechanics. There’s even a surprising amount of choice in how you engage in the world (do you want to gather resources yourself or farm them off enemies?), and a fair bit of depth to the mechanics (for example, you can use different pathing methods to avoid fights or kite enemies). There are areas where the pacing drags a bit. Some resources are slow to respawn and you may wind up standing next to a resource waiting for it to come back for a while. The game offers a new gameplay loop partway into it that makes resource farming a bit easier but a lot of the stuff I was enjoying earlier wasn’t part of this new loop. I found myself sitting and hoping for an ad to watch to speed up the process. That said, the wait times we’re talking about are maybe minutes long. It’s absolutely reasonable. And the game was an absolute gem otherwise. Easily worth a dollar or two, and it’s free!

If you need to relax, why not play this lol, I’ve been playing a little under an hour now and I’m curious to know how much more this game will expand it just keeps adding with more stuff to do, there’s no set objective you get to explore and figure it out yourself which is nice when all these games today have quests and missions and lists of things to do it can be overwhelming and eventually turn boring doing the same daily missions etc., this game you do have some freedoms. It’s what the game suggests you are trying to survive on an island collecting, building and crafting! What more do you want! And being free to play they need to make their money somehow, the ads seem to be well placed, as I’ve notice they only come up when you are resting, and they offer bonus materials for ads seems fair to me! To the Developers: Awesome job! There is however a small visual glitch that I’ve noticed when you obtain a new heart, it doesn’t always register that you’ve used all your energy, it’s not game breaking by any means just a small thing I’ve noticed!

This is a fun game… like another commenter said, the surprise at the top of the hill was nice. And I’d agree with all the positive things said in other reviews so I won’t rehash them here. So as far as suggestions… maybe a “double-tap” so the character moves faster. Some of the resources are much more difficult to come by than others. Maybe the ability to upgrade ore mines if you wanna grind for one specific resource. There doesn’t seem to be a storyline, maybe that was intended… not asking to add one if this is what the developers were shooting for to keep the game simple. Right now it seems the point is to keep leveling up, and watch ads for bonuses (I’d pay to have that stop). Or maybe that’s the point… the developers are making their money through the ad views, and the game works as it is to get the player to watch ads. It’s not as bad as other games that force ad views, which is why those games get deleted quickly. Here you have to make the choice to click the ads to cut resource grind time, and maybe that’s the psychological trick. I’d like to see maybe some achievements… like finding hidden items or places, and maybe ad an idle element to the game, maybe you can hire a character to mine some stuff while you are offline. Other than that… nice and simple fun game.
