MadThe game was fun, until the food started to run out within a matter of minutes. Both me and my friend noticed multiple bugs with food as a whole. Firstly, the food gets eaten in a matter of seconds, my friend had 700 food before going to bed and woke up to her entire village dead from hunger. I woke up to 50 food and a lot of panic. Secondly, my villagers WILL NOT farm until I am on the app. I will leave my phone for a few minutes, come back, and see the farmers are in the exact same spot, but time has passed. It’s hella annoying but this combo of glitches is horrendous. The villagers walk slow as all hell, and you just sit there and watch ur villagers collect food for about 30-40 minutes before you can leave the app or else you’re village will die. Don’t download this game. It was a good memory, but let it die. I saw a review having the same complaint from FOUR YEARS AGO.. they’ll never fix this bug. Don’t waste your time..Version: 1.0.3

Ok-ishVV Origins Has got a very simple concept but there's a problem, I bought this app 2 days ago.I didn't go on it for a day and when I came back all my villagers were dead!!! I don't see the point of an app that you have to play ALL THE TIME or else you'll lose or something!.Version: 1.0.2

Ads cover the pageThere seems to have been a new change where banner ads cover a third of the page. Too annoying to play, I've now deleted it..Version: 1.0.2

Great gameDoes need improvements though, such as; tech points needed for unlocking food, construction etc. Is waaaaaaaay too high. Other than that it is a really good game, please just lower the tech points needed,I can't to anything until I unlock all the third ones,which makes the game boring,I'm just repeatedly making everyone research and it's getting boring. Another fix is that my pause button dosent work, I cone back after a day and everyone is grown up or dead :/..Version: 1.0.1

Unable to make in app purchasesI tried to buy some tech points but it won’t let me. Tapped multiple times but nothing happened..Version: 1.0.3

BrokenLikely to die of starvation or old age before you’re ever able to get a baby. Sounds like real life..Version: 1.0.3

Love the game, hate the adsThe game is great but the ads are super annoying..Version: 1.0.2

Not a good mobile gamePlayed an hour. There is no save option. Came back that night - all villagers dead. Now I get to start all over but with different names. Tried again, using a tutorial this time. Discovered some science, made 2 babies. Came back next day and - all villagers dead. Tried yesterday and saw so many options to "upgrade" for money. Still, coming from games like Tiny Tower I was still able to get some enjoyment even without coughing up money. I played for 1/2 hour but the next morning you guessed it - all villagers dead. Maybe it's me but this game isn't worth the time. I buy games, but I refuse to be nickel and dimed just survive overnight! 1 star..Version: 1.0.2

Can’t buy anythingI love the game but it won’t let me buy any tech points, I click the one I want but nothing happens. I don’t know if it’s because I have a iPhone 8 or if it’s a glitch in the game. Please help..Version: 1.0.3

DisgracefulI have had fun playing this game for about 24 hours, all my villagers were healthy. I left the game for an hour and came back and half my villagers had died. I was horrified when I saw skeletons on the floor! There are kids playing this game you know! You could haunt them for life!! I checked all my remaining villagers and they were all healthy. And then a new skeleton appeared and I realised that one of my young villagers had just died! I deleted the app straight away. I think it is a terrible game..Version: 1.0.2

Not workingBodies are decomposing even though I have level 3 spirituality and 10 tombstones already in the graveyard..Version: 1.0.3

Bad issueI've played this game on other devices but when I tried downloading it it's now permanently stuck on three quarters done.Version: 1.0.2

GET RID OF THE ADSI love this game a lot, but the ads are always there when go into the game. I hate playing this game with the ads squashing my screen 24/7. You deserve 1 star but I like the game in general. The ads are stupid. Just a little FYI. Everyone who plays your games knows about all the others. Plus half the games you advertise I have already bought the full version of..Version: 1.0.1

Going to delete this gameI thought it would be so much better the people die to fast and my people have ran out off food so they are all going to die because I don't know how they are going to get food the berry bush has no berrys on it so my people will die it's pretty stupid game I did like it till they ran out off food to fast and die to fast when there all healthy you need to seriously fix this game 1 the food 2 let them live longer 3 let the kids play with other kids 4 let the mother read to her child or just hug them or something . Just fix it and you will see more people downloading the game.Version: 1.0.2

Good game but.... do not buy ANYTHING.....Good, but too short and Does not restore all purchases when restarts..... NOT impressed. And also, nothing added to the game since played game and played it a few times and takes a while to do..Version: 1.0.3

Love this game but...I just bought a few upgrades (double tech and double food) and then the game glitched and now doesn’t open anymore. I was pretty far as I spend money on extra 10,000 tech points too. I can’t even restart it because it doesn’t open. So I wasted $6 on the game now..Version: 1.0.3

Needs updatesGame needs updates but none are available. Disappointing because I was super excited to play!.Version: 1.0.2

Too many adsThe ads pop up way too often and it makes the game annoying to play..Version: 1.0.3

Great game but...So I got this game a few days ago and I loved it the first time I played it. But as I went on and my population grew, people started dying a lot and my food started to disappear a lot. This would usually happen when I would go a half day without playing the game and I would come back to find almost all my food gone and a good amount of my perfectly healthy before villagers dead. This matter isn’t fair because most people (like myself) aren’t and don’t want to be on their phones 24/7 so some improvements that could be made are making the villagers capable of surviving up to a few days without the user without dying. All I really can say about the food problem is if I leave please only let eat about 100 max. food at a time. Great game but needs some improvements..Version: 1.0.3

UmmmOkay so when I had this on my old phone about a year ago the graphics where amazing they where like v family 2 and you can actually see the people's faceshal structures but the update makes the people blurry and it was cool then but the graphics make me want to delet it plz fix it it could just be with iPhones but my cousins didn't have this problem and I had it on my kindle and idk where it is so I cant check that but please please pleeeaaaase fix it.Version: 1.0.2

Manipulative >:(So, i know in the tutorial, it said that the villages will play even when the game is not on… number one… that’s creepy. Number two… no, i don’t want the game to do that. Is that fun? No! Half my villagers are starving to death just because im not playing the game 24-7. AND I dont want to miss half the adventure! The cave! The rock! Whatnot. I think the game is fun, i really do… but seriously! That’s manipulation! I feel like your trying to make us play this game 24-7 so we don’t lose progress! Soo yeah. I’m not that impressed. >:(.Version: 1.0.3

Not as good as computer version.I swear the tech points are harder to earn than on the computer version. Seems like a scam to get you to spend money. My villagers are starving 😔.Version: 1.0.2

Don’t bother playingGame was okay, until the most recent update. They added commercials during GAME PLAY. So if your trying to do something a commercial will just pop up, and you have to wait till it’s over, then go back and start over. Also they added them so every time you make something, you have to watch another commercial before you can collect your item. I’ve written in a couple of times telling them this is ridiculous, and they written back saying they simply don’t care how players feel. So I don’t play anymore. The game is tedious enough without the stupid commercial b.s..Version: 1.0.3

MessyInteresting.. It's very distorted compared to virtual families 2. Virtual families 2 is very neat in the setup. Plz have it so builders can make a toilet room or something cos peeing in the bush is quite disturbing. Make it more virtual and the setup like virtual families. Could u please also put in a red and green hand in the tool bar for spanking and praising. Anyway, very good..Version: 1.0.1

This game...I am ANNOYED! The villagers a way toooo slow even on x2 speed! And when you go to the harvesting crop phase, every time you replant it takes even longer! I also HATE looking at the top right at a miniature screen and the adverts make it worse! The prices for the technology are also 'ridiculous' and it takes ages to get the points you need! I also think that the berry bush should get its berries back over a time. I am also a little confused with the construction as their isn't anything else to do after you have crafted the house and cleared the beach, am I supposed upgrade the tech? However, it does take the time away and it can be fun sometimes. But my first time playing it, I left it overnight and everybody died due to starvation because THE BERRY BUSH DIDNT REPLENISH ITSELF! And so I had 3 males left and no females >:(.Version: 1.0.1

Riddled with bugsThis version is THICK with bugs, and the bugs obviously seem to be designed to encourage purchases. For one thing the game does not pause, it says it pauses, but it does not pause, period, you pause with 1200 food, leave and come back and there's no food and 3 people are dead? How? It was paused. I'm deleting this, there should be a part of the apple store where you can report apps for behavior like this and they can mass refund customers and ban apps that are broken and ban creators after making too many broken products. I won't buy any more products with in app purchases from this maker because they either don't care that their product is broken or they broke it on purpose. Gross behavior. Also wanna add the people claiming it isn't broken are clearly paid to say that, what they're saying doesn't make sense. Unless you pay for double food it will randomly run out even if ALL your villagers are tasked on it, 10 people collecting food and they still ran out? Kinda sounds like a DELIBERATE bug to me. Meanwhile I play the paid versions of these games for $2 and there are no such bugs in any of those games. Weird, it's almost like the proof is in the pudding..Version: 1.0.3

Good game butI enjoy listening to podcasts and every time i open the app my spotify stops playing and i can start it again through the control center but as soon as i swipe back into the game the podcast stops again.Version: 1.0.3

Awesome Game! Little annoying ProblemsGreat game but few problems First for people beginning food goes down fast. But for me that isn’t a problem you just need most villagers at research table to get more search points. Secondly It would be good to see what generation your on and see your family tree. Really good game and for you beginners focus all your points on food. Another problem is In one of the events it says villager finds a book I usually pick yes read, and then to goes somewhere never to be seen again I just don’t get it I don’t see anywhere else except the beach area so I have no idea where they could of gone. It would be awesome if last day of work added Animal hunting and maybe a forest to enter. Anyway Here’s my review Try to fix stuff last day of work I’m out..Version: 1.0.3

The game is great but your gonna have to pay 99 cents to actually winUpdate: all my villagers died on easy mode. i paid alot of attention to this game and i got all the best options for islands events but i wasnt able to sustain my population becausethe 3rd tier 100k food tech option is not reachable. You will run out of crops and berries way before you are able to afford the 3rd tier food upgrade. I had 55k tech points before i lost. Unless you pay 99 cents to get the 100k tech points to buy the fishing upgrade you wont be able to beat this game. Overall its still fun but they should have kept the tech upgrades prices the same as the PC version and just charged 99 cents for the app instead of having it free and the more expensive tech upgrades. OLD REVIEW: used to play this game all the time on my laptop when i was in school. I wish it had updated graphics and scaled to my sceen especially for phones with the notch. overall it looks and plays just as you would remember..Version: 1.0.3

Het only?It’s a fun game but why can’t two guys go into the hut to fool around? You know other people exist besides hets....Version: 1.0.3

Great until you complete itI loved going through all the stages and ended up accidentally buying some tech points which I suppose was okay as it helped me get through the game; but as soon as I opened the cave I was expecting it to take me to another island with a new set of quests or villagers. It was a bit disappointing and now I've completed it, the game kinda just sits as one of those apps you don't play but don't want to delete incase there is a good update or you've gotten far on it. So please say you'll update the game and add new levels/features!.Version: 1.0.1

Brings back childhood memories!I was so stoked when I found out about this app! I was 13 when I first played this. It was really enjoyable and still is now!.. The ONLY REASON I'm giving this 3 stars is because of the ads on the top of the screen which is making the screen for playing really condensed >< also when I downloaded it last night there weren't any ads until just now WHY THE ADS??!! :( please do something about the ads on the play screen. I SUGGEST play the ads when loading the app on start-up please please do this .. Thanks!!.Version: 1.0.0

Don’t download.When I made my first tribe, it was fun. But things have changed. Tech points at very hard to obtain. It takes the scientist 3 million years even to get 1. Yeah, you can purchase them, bu what’s the point? They run out in 2 minutes because the things you can buy with them are very expensive. And the dying. You leave the game for like,2 days, and then your whole tribe is dead. If you’re lucky, a child will be left behind, but all they can do is dance and explore and other crap. And when the tribe dies, it has some pointless excuse like “everyone had measles” or “high tide”. Seriously? I expected more from this game. If you are reading this, go download Virtual Families. It’s a lot better..Version: 1.0.3

Great game, bad ads!As much as I love this game, the ads at the top of the screen ruin the graphics and make it harder to see. As if playing on an iPhone wasn't small enough, the adds squish everything up and make it out of proportion. Get rid of them, I would've given a 5-star review, but not now, not with all those ads!.Version: 1.0.1

Insulting people with autismOn this game it popped up an unusual child that doesn’t like normal childhood thing that unusual and trouble and don’t know what to do with him. This popped up on my game. I know exactly what this is insinuating. This is VERY offensive to me and the autistic community. Being a parent of a child with autism I picked up on this instantly. How dare you. You are part of the problem!! You are poisoning the mind of people to make them think people who are different are “troubled and unusual” and “they don’t know what to do with them”. I will continue to post about this until someone reaches out to me. This is utterly ridiculous for you to think this was any type of appropriate. People who are different are NOT “unusual and troubled”. Just shocked at the amount of disrespect..Version: 1.0.3

UhI mean it was fun at the start but when all the food is gone ur whole family dies and then u get a new one but u still don’t get food pls fix this.Version: 1.0.3

Only Fun For A DayIn the beginning, it's super fun. Maybe that's why they hound you for a review so early on. Very quickly you learn that to do ANYTHING you have to constantly earn higher and higher numbers of tech points to buy levels of skills. If you could earn farming tech points for all your farming, or building tech points for your building (and just have the research table for general tech points that could be assigned anywhere) that would be great, but no. So you end up having 30 people crowded around the research table, with a couple people assigned to the other jobs, just so every couple days you can buy a level in some skill that is required to do the next puzzle. This game is like 10% actually doing new stuff and 90% leaving the village to research. I finished it, but it was so boring by the end. Deleting immediately..Version: 1.0.2

Dislike adds. Take them off or make them smaller!I love this game but the adds bring it down so much! I cant read the screen because the adds take up so much room! Please fix this!.Version: 1.0.1

Took my moneyI loved this game on PC as a kid, and finding it on app was exciting! I’ve been playing it for afew hours and went to purchase some tech points because it’s so cheap, the game didn’t give me any and then crashed, and is still crashing when I try to open the app..Version: 1.0.3

Game goneI was almost done on my puzzle and was far into the game and I just went in and it started me all over again progress was just gone.Version: 1.0.3

GraphicsIt's a good game but I think it needs a new update for better graphics. Also since the game is really good I hope you can make a second version of this game. This would mean a lot to me so please read this carefully!!!.Version: 1.0.2

Love the game..But NOT happy with the glitches. I'm half way through the game, a crate washes up (I had over 3000 food), it gives me 1000 food, for finding bananas, then my food meter reads 422!! Which is obviously gone in minutes! I bred 3 people, got 3 babies, I came back and 9 babies! All my researchers.. That's fine, I had food to feed them, but after that glitch, they're all gonna starve! I really don't want to cheat by buying food! And I don't like that the idea that playfirst may be doing this on purpose so that you HAVE to buy food or start over!??.Version: 1.0.2

Glitching?1. I would like to say to all those complaining of not having enough food sources- you have to get tech points from research then use them to upgrade farming. After that you can grow a garden if you have uncovered your well. 2. My game has restarted on its own 4-5 times. The first time I thought I did it by accident, until I purposely restarted it once and saw you have to hit a second button to make sure you want to start over. Every time after that I KNOW I did not restart. This is in the matter of 2 days. Would LOVE to play and give 5 stars, but can’t do that when I’m getting kicked back after minimal game play each time. I’m bummed..Version: 1.0.3

Great but now ...Love this game so much , it is great , there is so much to do but after you have done everything there is nothing to do . This makes me so sad because I loved this game . Once you have completed all the puzzles there is a cave . I thought there would be an amazing new land , a new life . But no . Nothing to do , I'm bored ..Version: 1.0.3

No musicWhy are the music and sound effects gone even when I go to the menu options and it says they’re on 100% volume.Version: 1.0.3

MY VILLAGERS ARE STARVINGOkay I love the game and is very far ahead but I let my friend borrow my phone and suddenly there is a Minutes until new crops. Thing when ever I click the farm. I have 27 people and they eat a lot. They are all starving and I am really worried. I tried waiting for the timer but once it was finished I turned off the game after making sure they were farming. Next time I turned the game back on it had even more time left then before. I'm absolutely in love with this game but. Why are u starving my villagers? I am giving a bad review because I care about the game. But you are forcing me to fail in it..Version: 1.0.2

More frustrating than it should be...I had this game for my PC years ago and I loved it. And when I saw it on the App Store, I immediately recognized it and was so excited to have it again for my iPad. But I haven't even had it for a full 24 hours and I'm already beyond frustrated with it. My food supply constantly diminishes, no matter how many people I have foraging. So unless you want to watch the game nonstop to make sure your villagers food isn't disappearing, I wouldn't recommend getting it. Disappointed to say the least..Version: 1.0.2

Good but could be betterIt's a good game but needs some improvements like......the graphics need a big improvement, you can zoom in and out, and it needs to be easier to get tech points and unlock puzzles (constructing and unlocking things etc.) and finally please make the villagers live longer. But other than that its a pretty good games..Version: 1.0.2

PointlessIt’s actually a bit lame, you’ll like it if you enjoy wasting moments of your life. I liked it at first but the novelty wore off quickly. There are 6 tech’s that can be upgraded 2 times. It takes a bit of time to come up with the tech points to achieve that and what you get for it is virtually nothing. Start the game and your builder starts working on a hut, takes him 3 years to build, the only thing for him to do once he finishes is clear some debris from the beach, after the construction upgrade he can remove some rocks from a blocked stream, then it’s another 100,000 tech points to find out what he’ll do next. There is practically nothing you can do to alter the pace the village grow, no option to build other things at all. It’s a big waste of time. What’s funny is that you can “ purchase “ tech points, I’m sure the people who’ve been stupid enough to do that we’re quite disappointed since it probably bought them almost no additional enjoyment in the game..Version: 1.0.3

Waste of timeGot more than half way through, after a few days playing, only for the game to reset itself. Very frustrating..Version: 1.0.2

Incredibly slowI understand the game wanting to be a long-term goal, buts it’s INCREDIBLY slow. I even bought some tech points, hoping to speed the process but it hardly did anything. If the huts are built and river is cleared — your builders will never progress as there is nothing for them to do. Tech points take FOREVER to accumulate, so maybe just check back in two weeks and hopefully there MIGHT be a good sum, but never enough as leveling up costs 160k+ tech points. Everyone will more than likely die before you ever get too far. I wouldn’t play it again, let alone purchase anything. This a “download and I’ll check back in a month” kind of game..Version: 1.0.3

FlawedI love the PC version but this is flawed. Each time I switch the game off it resets my food to zero. Fix please..Version: 1.0.2

Cool gameIt's real fun to play but when my villagers die its quite hard to play than cause u have to teach them all the skills but it's all goods.Version: 1.0.1

Ruined by ads.Great game, ruined by ads. I'd much rather spend money on this game instead of having ads and in-app purchases, like the rest of the Virtual Villagers games. The ads ruin it and they shouldn't be there..Version: 1.0.2

GAME RESTART!!!!!I WAS ON THE LAST PUZZLE I HAD A FULL FOOD BIN AND DECENT POPULATION AND I EXITED THE GAME NORMALLY BY PRESSING THE HOME BUTTON ON MY IPAD AND WHEN I CAME BACK MY VILLAGE WAS ERASED AND RESTARTED!!!!! NOT WORTH IT! ABOUT TO DELETE! FIX THIS STUPID GLITCH.Version: 1.0.2

MehIt was fun until all my villagers died except a 2year old I had to wait hours before he died because he can't gather food, for research or do anything for that matter! The game is fun but they need to make it so villagers don't die so easily!.Version: 1.0.2

SlowThere’s advertisements now on the vvo2 unlike previous games. Takes way too long to load ads and after that you have to watch the ad ..!!! Ads pop up at any time while you’re playing..Version: 1.0.3

Too smallAt least VV4 & 5 had a way bigger view of your village. Being on mobile, we need as much screen to work with as possible, EXPAND IT.Version: 1.0.3

OkayIt is sort of a good game but when I was building a hut it took ages but I remember I played it before on a different device and it was so good but I now it will get better.Version: 1.0.3

Lost the golden child? Glitch?I love the game and have completed all the milestones. However an event occurred where my golden child saw a face in the bushes. I chose one of the options to take a look and the golden child disappeared and I can't create another one because the milestone is complete. This is a disappointing and frustrating occurrence in the game. Is this a glitch? Is there anything I can do to get the golden child again?.Version: 1.0.1
