Tinker Island: Adventure Story for Negative User Reviews
✓ Won't open anymoreI was having fun playing this game, but now when I click it on my iPad it won't open. Deleted it but not interested enough to download and try again..Version: 1.4.43
✓ Good but not Great.This game has a lot of content. Lots of areas, cool characters, hunts, mechs (believe it), crafting, mini games, events, and it’s relatively easy to earn gems (in game currency). The text based missions/adventures are fun, creative, and at times humorous. Overall this game impresses me, and is much more than I expected. But the game does have some flaws that can greatly impact your progress/enjoyment in this game. Some of the missions/mechanics are nonintuitive and usually end up costing you a ton of your resources. The game can be imbalanced at times where you can’t progress for a long time because of lack of resources, due in part to the flaw mentioned above and just not receiving enough resources/opportunities while playing. There is also real jerk move the game makes where you will have to pick a dialogue but they are all the same (‘place block’ 8 different times for example) and if you don’t pick them in the right order then you fail the mission, but there was no possible way to know beforehand and it wastes all your resources.. Maybe the developers think it’s funny/clever but it just came off as ignorant to me. I’d still recommend this game and will continue playing it but to say that the game doesn’t have some flaws would be a lie, hopefully some of these issues get addressed. Edit: -1 star because of ‘Tangle’ level, fix it or do away with it because it’s a load of crap!.Version: 1.4.04
✓ I was scammedThis was a game I previously played a couple years ago. I did use Facebook but forgot it was even part of the game until they used it to scam me out of the 8 dollar pack they are advertising. They popped up the 8$ sale that is half of of 16$ and I said okay sounds like a plan to me so I can get back where I was a lot quicker. Then IMMEDIATELY after I paid for it they popped up something saying I should sign in to Facebook. I do so and my 8 dollar package disappeared, I try to find a restore button with no luck, I then try to delete the game and retry from the beginning to see if that would reset my purchase, nope. As a result I am so disappointed and disgusted by the app not having a restore purchases button very clear and available to their customers, especially when they charge this much for simple characters. Until you add an ACCURATE restore purchases button, I will not be buying any more packs and I will be in touch with apple about getting this “purchase” taken back. If apple still wants to charge me then I will be calling my bank and letting them know I’ve been completely and totally scammed by both this fraudulent app creator and apple together. Simply adding a restore purchases and turning this scam into an actual game would otherwise turn this game into a 4 star game in my eyes.Version: 1.6.16
✓ Had good potentialGame looks great and has great story, only problem with it is that the entire game is based around waiting so unless you want to open your wallet to enjoy it, don’t..Version: 1.4.79
✓ BrokenIn the pier the second time I did I got in a hard lock.Version: 1.4.55
✓ Good fun until Tangle part comes into playThis was a great game, passed the time, it was easy to do, then you come to the Forage part, and pointlessly, they make you re-visit about 50 times for a combination of things you need to proceed. You wait 5 minutes each time to be told you need to answer the same question time and time again. Such a shame as it had great potential.Version: 1.4.14
✓ Many issuesFor me, the game crashes all the time. I’ll be playing the flower game and it’ll crash randomly and I’ll have to start the level again. Also, while building things (example: campfire, workbench, etc) it will say “build now —> cost 0 gems” so I click it and it takes gems from me even though it was free. Another super annoying thing, there is an ad after EVERY SINGLE TIME you send people out to explore, or onto a task. Game needs fixing, I’ve talked to friends that play this game and they have many issues with gems being taken away unfairly. Sometimes I’ll leave the game and come back and gems are missing for no reason. And it’s very easy to use gems by accident (example: getting extra turns on the flower game and it doesn’t ask you twice if you wanna spend 250 gems).Version: 1.7.01
✓ Way to many adsI really enjoy this game but there are so many forced ads on me, I literally had it give me 4 forced ads when I only was foraging for 3 seconds each! That’s over a minute of ads for about 12 seconds of actual game time. Next to the ads for speed ups, increased productivity and double rewards we REALLY don’t need constant forced ads.Version: 1.8.04
✓ Fun for a couple hours...Initially the game was incredibly fun, creating buildings, looking for resources, finding new characters, etc. but after a few hours of gameplay it turns into a slog-fest FAST. I spent $4 getting the wrestler guy, but still if you wanted anything to move at a reasonable speed, you’d have to watch ad after ad or blow through diamonds. You can check in the game, put a few characters places, then you’d have to leave a few seconds later unless you wanted to watch a 30 second video, or wait for 10-15 min for them to do their thing. After a few days of that I deleted the game. Games are fun if you can pop in for 10-15 minutes, set up various things and leave, but at just a few seconds it was completely a chore..Version: 1.4.48
✓ Won't load!This game looks good but when I downloaded the game it crashed and couldn't go past the loading screen, please fix this bug..Version: 1.4.56
✓ Terrible RNG game. Don't support.The way the game is set up, if you don't buy the in game currency to "reset" your moves, you have to keep playing the same level until eventually the game randomly gives you the pieces you need to progress. Trash..Version: 1.4.22
✓ Too many advertsThe 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.Version: 1.8.27
✓ BugI know I’m a few years late but my game keeps breaking when I try to play so I can’t do events and this applies for multiple platforms I used.Version: 1.8.04
✓ Garden mini gameWhen you get to round 11, things go from 0 to 100 real freaking quick. Try tuning down the level scale a bit.Version: 1.8.10
✓ Lost half my survivorsSo I don’t know what happened. But after some recent update or something i lost literally 7 of my survivors!?? I’ve checked on the map- but they aren’t there. I’m so upset :( I paid money for some of them too....Version: 1.4.49
✓ BugThis game is amazing, but i’m a little bit bummed that when i got back into it, the garden minigame got lost, and now I don’t know how to get it back as i’ve fully searched the meadows.Version: 1.6.07
✓ IssuesI really love this game, but I’m having some issues near the end of the story. I’m trying to save up enough food to go to one of the last locations, but every time I open the app no food has accumulated and the people I put in the fishing hole labor function are no longer in it. Also every time I open the app, it was replaying the introduction to the pirates and now to the Santa event. I don’t know if these are problems related to recent updates, but I wanted to bring it to the developers attention. I really like this game but it’s frustrating that I’m so close and the game keeps glitching out my recent progress..Version: 1.4.04
✓ OverpoweredThe exchange rate of the game is hard to come by, especially when you in the middle of a battle and your fighting. It even costs you more gems if you let a survivor go too long without health. Making the save and spend of gems for people who don't want to shell out the money, wait even longer. If the little things on the home screen didn't have so much motion then there would be smoother game play. This makes it harder for the other apps to play because of the slower technology. Not happy about this... This leads to the iPad crashing in the middle of gameplay. The logbook events are sometimes the repeated, making it hard to figure where the real answer is..Version: 1.4.55
✓ MehMinigame: worst thing ever, too much wasted time Ads: somehow worse than the minigame, there so many The main game: its nice but the ads ruin the whole entire thing.Version: 1.8.04
✓ Problem with adsI understand as a form of revenue you need to include ads and I respect that much but what I can’t stand is when the exit button on the ads is virtually impossible to click and it keeps taking me to the App Store, so incredibly infuriating..Version: 1.8.13
✓ Pros, Cons, and Experience (Wait Times 👎🏼)While the game begins just as any tutorial, you’re met with a very clean and pleasant looking interface which is where most of the game will take place. Unfortunately there isn’t any way to roam, but I do understand that’s not the type of game it is. Would still be nice to see though. Second the wait times are excessive, while towards the beginning you are met with a lot of skips and free timers, after your past the so called tutorial phase, you’ve now entered excessive wait times. As when you sit down to play the game the wait times can very from 5 minutes to a few hours for a charter you come upon very early in the game. The only way to skip these how ever is by using your gems, but we all know there’s only a limited supply and at a point you will need to spend money, which I do understand is how they make money from this game, it would just be nice to see a decrease in wait times or at least for basic things such as exploring and gathering. But like a said the game is actually quite enjoyable and I like the adventures/decisions you are able to make which will result in different outcomes. But what really brings the game down to a 3 and loses my focus is the time I spend waiting, as all I want to do is sit down and grind and enjoy a hour or two of gameplay, without draining my wallet..Version: 1.6.07
✓ Hard to seeThe text is so pixelated it’s impossible to read without getting eye strain. I deleted it within a few minutes..Version: 1.4.79
✓ Greedy, bad game.I PAID 290 IN GEMS FOR FLAKE RANGER AND GOT NOTHING!! also when i was getting my dead characters alive by watching videos and watched 3 ads!! and got no progress... i still had 7 hrs left this game is so annoying. now the demon monster was only made to farm ads for money and now the ads are longer, don’t function properly, and you still added more ads when people click things!!! i bought something that said it cost 0 gems, free!! next thing i know i go from 166 gems to 38, i’m sick of this game trying to rob me for the stuff i worked hard on, then spamming me with ads!!.Version: 1.7.01
✓ Back button plsStupid how the game doesn't allow you to go back and redo an adventure and you are just stuck in an endless cycle of options , get stuck for 5 minutes over and over.Version: 1.5.09
✓ Seems good but hampered by rail roared tutorialI am rally trying to have fun with this game but it falls in to the classic trap of preventing players from having freedom from the start. Can’t even mute the sound. Badly designed tutorial slapped on to what could be a good game..Version: 1.4.19
✓ Nice idea...ALOT of waitingEssentially if you don't want to pay all of your hard earned money (I do mean ALL of your money as Gem packs are unfathomably expensive!)You are basically playing the waiting game, you assign your survivors to various locations or to build things which take a certain amount of time to complete, while you are waiting there isn't really anything else to do other than a flower matching game. This is quite good but there should be a few mini games to hold interest. I don't think I'm going to last until the end as it's probably a couple of years of waiting..Version: 1.4.04
✓ Cute game, could use improvementsI recently downloaded it and am enjoying it so far! The first day I was able to put a lot of time into it due to the low resources and short wait times - as I have advanced it has quickly become the click-and-wait type of game I expected (perfect for work breaks). I am enjoying the content overall, and think the story part of it is very cute and well done. However, there are a couple of mechanics which need improvement - for one, the survivors health can only be increased by a crafted item or after dying completely. I see no reason why villagers shouldn’t naturally build health over time *without* dying first! This would make battling feel like less of a hassle. The other thing that could use some improvements is the garden game - occasionally I will run out of plants to sun/water and then... keep getting sun & water items, which are totally useless without seeds... and I have to sit there and dry/water the ground over and over, eventually running out of turns before getting another seed? Seems like it was set up to frustrate players into using gems to get moves..Version: 1.4.22
✓ Used to be the best app on the App StoreCore 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..Version: 1.8.27
✓ Impressive, with a high percentage of in app purchases to progressThis game is quite enjoyable and I don’t deny spending hours on it. However, it has quickly become apparent the discrepancy in non payable play and in app purchases. For example, you can continue to explore a part of the map in hopes of getting that diamond resource or pay 90 gems for it. I’ve explored that part 10 times and still haven’t gotten it. I understand the developers wanting to make a profit, but the necessary amount of gems needed jumps extremely high and quickly. Same goes for the amount of resources needed to upgrade parts of the camp. The garden game feels, at times, extremely chance related rather than strategical. I’ve played one level 20 times to finally progress because the game just would not give me that needed water, seed, or sun. When it gets to fighting the monsters, the first one costed resources, the second is automatically gems. As someone who avoids in app purchases to progress, this game is stretching my ingenuity to the max. I do like that they implement a chance to earn gems, but it’s like collecting water droplets to get a full glass. I’ll still play, as it is a fun game and the design is wonderful, but as more and more progression costs gems, I’ll probably stop playing in time..Version: 1.4.06
✓ Was Great, Not AnymoreAt first the game was sorta difficult because I either didn’t have enough food or wood to do something but once i started to unlock more things to build it DID get easier UNTIL I needed something like a crystal or leather or anything else to be able to craft something and those things take FOREVER to get. It’s ridiculously tough to get any of these things without spending gems and I’m trying to save up for more survivors. Really seems like now I need to use real life money to be able to craft things. One crystal costs 90 gems and those things aren’t easy to earn. I did get lucky at one point and made around 300 gems but that instantly went away when I tried to get leather to be able to make Milson. The game’s decent, not great though. And nowadays I seem to notice a lot of bugs. The game freezes or just crashes. I also lost 90 gems last night because I made my stonemason, then updated the game. I guess my stonemason was deleted somehow but I never got my 90 gems back. Edit: I emailed them and they actually gave me 100 gems back..Version: 1.4.14
✓ Too much addsI prefer a paid version. I accept optional ads embedded in the game play, but not mandatory ones every minute..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Fun and BORINGThis game is okay at the beginning until you realize its just a money grab because EVERYTHING you need money to progress alot of the game unless you want to wait days for a simple thing.Version: 1.4.55
✓ 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..Version: 1.7.01
✓ Ran out of content ages agoI really enjoyed playing this game. It’s quirky, involves puzzles and retro text based story and riddles (though I’m not a fan of the garden or other puzzles due to getting stuck on levels after playing them hundreds of times but never getting enough resources to fulfill the requirements). But I ran out of the actual gameplay over a year ago, probably closer to two years ago. I kept playing for a while with the pirate ship event and the holiday events but I’m so bored out of my skull because the pirate event is extremely repetitive. Either make more of the actual game or make a sequel or even make it so we can start another camp file to replay this game without losing all of our current camp goodies collected over the years just please do SOMETHING more advanced than these tiny events..Version: 1.4.60
✓ Great game, recently ruined by monetization UXUpdate: 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!.Version: 1.8.26
✓ Needs some improvementsThe game has really great mechanics, as I've been only playing the game for a few days now, but there are a few hints that really drag on the playability of the game, the first being the stockings for the holiday event. The stockings are a regular drop when exploring, which is fine, but the game keeps repeating the same boring monologue over a few stockings that are essentially worthless, because you need premium stockings to even upgrade the elf in the first place, so you end up with tons of red stockings you can't do anything with. Also, the game is a bit annoying when it try's to get you to connect to Facebook and review it. If you give it a semi negative review, it gets all passive aggressive and says 'um, ok, we are doing the best we can'. If the developers haven't figured out that you don't need to hear the same tutorial after getting a essentially worthless item (unless you are willing to spend the premium currency to try and get the gold stockings), and that not everyone even uses Facebook and dangling opportunities for connecting to it is bad practice for people who don't even have an account, then I am at a bit of a loss when they are 'doing the best they can'..Version: 1.4.04
✓ Meets the same fate as most other mobile games.Ads..Version: 1.8.19
✓ Good game but wayyy too many adsI 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.Version: 1.8.19
✓ Can’t restore purchases🙃I got a new phone now I can’t restore my purchases…..Version: 1.8.19
✓ DisappointedI do like the game, but since the upgrade have not been able to even start it. Have had problems before with it crashing, but now cannot get it to open. Very disappointed..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Glitch on new updateSame here crashes before you can play with the new update.Version: 1.1.6
✓ BrokenGame is essentially non-functional, survivors won't start searching even after they've all been deployed and ads don't provide speed up when watched..Version: 1.8.27
✓ Won’t open anymorePlayed 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..Version: 1.4.55
✓ Another generic money makerI'm tired of games that constantly use the same tactic. The game in itself is a wonderful idea that would work so well. Keyword in that sentence is 'would'. The entire app is filled to the brim with ads. If you want to continue on with the story, pay 5$ or wait an hour. If that sounds like the type of game you want then you might need some help. Everything you do in the game requires you to wait or pay money. I miss old mobile games where the objective was fun and free. Now it's boring and "free". Now I know what you're thinking, "oh but, they have to put ads in there to make money!" Well yeah but, wouldn't it be better if such a clever game cost 1$ and you could do all the normal stuff. My point is that this game is just ad simulator 2017 and the only reason it has good reviews is because people are desensitized to all of this..Version: 1.4.03
✓ Frustrating and time consuming.At the beginning of the game you find yourself breezing through each adventure without much of a hastle. But eventually you find yourself having to wait a day for your workshops to get you the materials you need to back track to spots, to find certain materials, to upgrade certain buildings, to then wait another day and rinse and repeat. I fell in love with this game in the first two days of playing it but it just became incredibly tedious and a waste of energy. I’m not recommending this to anyone..Version: 1.4.67
✓ Good game but lots of problemsThe gameplay itself is actually quite enjoyable and I've found myself playing it for a while now. There is however some things about the game that occasionally make it terrible. There is going to be a lot of time required to do just about anything later on in the game. The thing that really made me dislike this game though is when I attempted to make an in app purchase multiple times and never got what I wanted but was still charged for all of it. There is no restore purchases button and when I tried to contact Apple and the tinker island website I got no response on either. If it weren't for that, this would easily be a 4-5 star game..Version: 1.4.06
✓ Tinker IslandEver since the new update, the app crashes often. It's used to be a great game but now it's unplayable :(.Version: 1.0.25
✓ Great game ruined by adsThis game is really unique and fun. I love the creative text adventuring style of it, and I love the idle qualities of generating resources. Unfortunately the game is ruined by needing ads to constantly play to progress at any real pace. I would gladly shell out $5, maybe $10 to unlock permanent time boost, but as it is you're stuck watching an ad every 10 minutes to make any significant progress, or shelling out way too many gems for a paltry hour of boost. This game is designed around waiting. Waiting is no fun if you're forced to watch ads or pay gems every hour for something that may take multiple hours. Besides this and a few annoying rude 'input the same command 50 times' the game is quite fantastic. Keep the other ad boosts, but make the game something special by removing the 10 minute ad booster..Version: 1.4.22
✓ Used to be great, now it’s unplayableI’ve had this game on and off for a number of years. It’s one of those games you always come back to because it’s fun and the storyline/explore features are always interesting. However, having re-downloaded it recently, I’ve constantly been bombarded by advertisements. I understand the need for ads in order to make the game free for us to play, but it’s come to the point where you get a loud, obnoxious ad EVERY TIME you send a survivor off on a task. And some of the ads glitch and freeze which causes you to have to close down the app and restart it. Twice it has wiped my entire island progress when doing this. These issues have made the game unplayable and I really hope the developers take the time to read this. I would love to hear what you have to say. Thanks..Version: 1.7.01
✓ The GardenThis game is so much fun and doesn’t require WiFi to play it, unlike most games that take a lot of data and still require WiFi. Almost everything about this game I enjoy, from the battles, to the story, to even the garden mini game. But the one thing I would really like fixed is level 68 in garden. No matter how many times I play, I can never get the cactus and I’m forced to create bugs, which stop me from doing anything else! No matter what I do, save the cactus, clear the whole area, ALL I GET IS THE SUN AND WATER. I can’t continue and the level ends because I run out of turns. I’ve been stuck on this level for days and it really destroys my love for this great game. Please fix this issue because I would not want to add this to the hundreds of of other games that I’ve deleted because of such bogus stuff. I will keep playing this game but I would like to continue in the garden and not be stuck on that level. Thank you for your time in reading this..Version: 1.4.32
✓ Ads in every minute?Whats going on with you?. The padamic affect really bad to your company?. Why the game display ads in every min?..Version: 1.8.10
✓ Île de MehPerso je ne suis pas cappable d’avancer à cause de l’île de meh, je suis pris au début sans possibilité de construire le feu de camps à cause du bateau et des restrictions de manœuvres de début de partie, donc à moin que l’île de meh où les restrictions ne soient changées jamais je ne pourrai avancer plus ou récupérer mon compte avancé. C’est ce pourquoi je donnerais une note maximale de 3/10 à ce nouvel ajout..Version: 1.7.01
✓ Always ads after 5 clicksEvery time I make a few actions maybe 4 or 5 I am always forced an ad, and this is on top of the ones you actively choose to speed things along or to get extra gems. Basically bombarded with ads which I don’t mind if I choose to click on them but the ones that appear after a certain amount of actions is too much!.Version: 1.7.10
✓ Bug issues ruined the gameI love this game and have been playing for a few years however, ever since the last update I can no longer open the game without turning off both my Wi-Fi and mobile data and I still somehow get ads! It’s kind of destroyed the game for me but if it can be fixed I’ll be happy to play..Version: 1.8.18
✓ Unplayable but good when it worksIt is a fun game but every time you play it has a tendency to crash, when you watch ads it crashes, when you try and collect the daily gift it crashes and when it crashes you lose the resources your people have collected, I like the game the still, but it in its current state it's unplayable and not worth downloading, don't waste your time on this game..Version: 1.4.14
✓ Fun while it lastsI’ll be the first to admit this game is really fun, for the first 2 hours. After that span, it becomes a boring, dull waiting game that’s about as fun as watching paint dry. Waiting hours upon hours to do a simple task, it really wants you to cough up a heap of cash to enjoy it.Version: 1.4.48
✓ Nice conceptThe game is fun and I recommend it. Lots of good content, different angles, good for long term time killing. Once you unlock the garden mini game it goes beyond being just an idle game. However, the flaws in the mechanics of the garden mini game become painfully obvious the further you progress (E.g. need 5 tulips to win the game in less than 25 turns but you only receive 3 seeds). Trading tool out on the survivor deletes the previously equipped tool. I don’t understand why anyone thought this was a good idea for the game design. Get attacked often enough, hard to make potions to heal, survivors “faint” often. Rewards for handling a tough fight is usually gems, not that many. Would rather skip the fight. More to be said, but I uninstalled it without finishing it or really delving into the backstory when I got Bears knife and had it equipped on another survivor and couldn’t complete Bear’s quest so I tried to switch out the knife (+7 to all stats) for some other small tool. It deleted the knife so I had to use gems to bribe Bear to join, lost the knife anyway (probably would’ve gotten to keep it). It was my blunder, but that was my limit. I tolerated a lot of other bs and I do appreciate that there were real choices with consequences but this one just doesn’t even make sense. Neither from a gaming perspective nor from a storytelling perspective..Version: 1.4.04
✓ CrashesImpossible to play, keeps crashing after a few seconds.Version: 1.4.09
✓ Game-breaking BugEndless text choice loop during clearing jungle with coral on island area rendered game unplayable several hours in. Cut leaves Cut sticks Cut roots You can't see the sticks. You can't see the roots. There are no more leaves..Version: 1.4.55
✓ Want to enjoy it, but...Several parts are broken, especially surrounding the garden mini game. The garden is completely broken, my second permanent survivor is stuck at 90% essence even though I've collected hundreds since reaching that 90%, and the mini game itself is 85% luck or more if you're further along. (You can spend tons of gems to try to bypass the crap RNG if you want, though...) The main game is better, though hats (special equipment that raises stats) always cost a bunch of gems to craft after you unlock them which doesn't make sense... And most of the survivors cost a crapload of gems to unlock, the cheapest of which you might be able to save up for with a month of playing..Version: 1.4.07
✓ Good but gets dullThis game is overall very enjoyable with what you can do & explore & build in the beginning, but as you continue in the game, it just gets very repetitive after a while & takes a lot of time to go through things as the timer on building & adventuring goes higher the more you progress through the game. I liked it over all tho & I did finish the game as well but once you finish it there’s not much to if you built everything there is. I roughly finished this game in around2-3 months without using any Of it’s in app purchases & I just played on and off. This game isn’t hard by any means but wish there was some sort or more thrilling aspect to it other than its boring fights with beasts & waiting on the units to be done exploring. There’s supposed to be a chapter 2 coming but it’s been about year since this games release & still no update to that or news when a chapter 2 will be released..Version: 1.4.56
✓ Too many forced adsThe game is fun, but they keep changing the frequency of the ads. It got to the point where I’ve turned off cellular data for the game, and only play it offline. It’s pretty annoying when I choose to play an ad to get a buff, then thirty seconds later I’m forced to watch one for no reason. Update: I will soon be uninstalling. I’ve logged in three times today to assign tasks to my people, and each time I had a forced ad..Version: 1.7.17
✓ Fun but...This is a really cool game idea, I had a lot of fun at first, I was able to play a lot and loved the adventures and mechanics. But then the game gets to a point where it is almost impossible to progress without buying gems. They make it rain eight the gems in the beginning but like most other games the wait times are horrendous. I went from playing an hour or two a day in the beginning now it’s something I check in on maybe once or twice a day. To do anything other than just send ppl out on missions is impossible without gems. I spent 1.99 on some gems but refuse to buy more. I’d love to see something like this made with a one time purchase and be able to enjoy the stories all the developers hard work..Version: 1.7.25
✓ BugAfter connecting Facebook, closing and reopening the app causes a loop on the loading screen of 'Tinker Island would like to log into Facebook' but the pop up screen opens for 2 seconds and closes automatically. After hitting cancel and going into game settings, Facebook has disconnected itself..Version: 1.9.2
✓ Keeps crashing on iPhone 11As the title says the game just keeps randomly crashing after 5 minutes. During a fight, when reading story bits, when dragging characters to jobs. It keeps constantly crashing..Version: 1.7.01
✓ Would’ve been 5 stars butIt crashes all the time. Absolutely love the consept and art style but because of constant crashing and a barrage of ads( even when I don’t want them for boosts) makes this game nothing more than a disappointment..Version: 1.8.10
✓ Has potentialThis game has great potential but is currently unplayable at times. Food is scarce and production times get very high very fast, forcing you to use diamonds or watch an add Just to play. The steam engine that helps reduce your wait only offers adds at certain times of the day. Forget it if your trying to play then. Wait times are ridiculous. Game could use other upgrades like; 1) a way to scroll through Survivors even while working to check there skill levels etc 2) shorter research and work times or adds all day... 3) a way to see what the maximum is in a field. For example: currently it will show a survivors health at 73 with more available before reaching max. But it doesn’t show what the max is..Version: 1.4.43
✓ ManaiaSeriously, only 1 try. Everything else in this Bull* game can be retried including most ads since your ads are broken as often as not. Except this survivor which you get one try to get and then that is it too bad..Version: 1.4.14
✓ It was fun until it brokeI was playing and enjoying the game until I decided to explore the pier. I was given the option to cut weeds, I was then stuck in a permanent loop of cutting these weeds. PLEASE FIX!.Version: 1.4.55
✓ Why do I have to pay for everything!Great game but yet another company conning people out of money that is uselessly spent. Almost £50 for a 'value' pack of gems?! Shocking to think anyone would pay that much, the game is addictive but so hard to play unless you pay top dollar!.Version: 1.3.8
✓ 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..Version: 1.8.30
✓ Enjoyed it until I got stuck.Caught me in a mindnumblingly boring, endless loop of bad text adventures with "choices". I enjoy the actual game so just why? It Interrupts you with these long text things very frequently. The new winter one was what made me uninstall. An element that has always bothered me became insufferable. Nope..Version: 1.3.7
✓ No help from game supportBeen playing for a little while. I have now encountered a bug and cannot progress. I have contacted support several times and had no reply. Shame.Version: 1.4.57
✓ AdsAds are to often that your game is unplayable. Deleted.Version: 1.8.04
✓ LovED this gameSo 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..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Good Game but it has problemsThis game is great but the winter garden mini games need to be easier as it based on luck which is not very fun when you have to play the same level over 20+ times..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Fun enough gameI wait a while to rate games so that I can play them and really see what they are like. Tinker Island is fun but after a couple weeks, it kinda stagnates. The times for doing things increase so much, it's basically just send your people off and shut the game off. There is an in game, garden game to play in the meantime, however, at level 209, forget it. The level is so incredibly imbalanced, you cannot beat it. You get more bug spray than seeds and sun/water. So that's a wash when you're waiting for your people to free up. They are very generous on the diamonds and ways to earn them but again, it's basically just setting up your people to do something for a long while and walking away. The story line is interesting. They really need to fix the in game, garden game..Version: 1.3.6
✓ GardenThe regular game is very good but the garden mini game is terrible. It is entirely luck based and some levels take hours of trial and error to complete. There is no way to get better at it and the hard levels are nearly impossible given the way the game works..Version: 1.6.16
