Respecting Players
Tue Jul 30 2024 Joe RottmanGames, and specifically mobile games have reached a state in which developers exploit and use players for profit. This game defies all the recent tropes that are so common in not just small titles but even big ones. Although this game is not flashy with incredibly detailed art and graphics, the premise and mechanics are interesting and fun. The way in which this game uses ads is incredibly refreshing. Not only are they not in your face and preventing you from playing the actual game, the golden ticket mechanic is a genius way to solve certain features being locked behind an ad wall. This is not a situation where developers are exploiting players, it’s a trade in which both of us benefit. You are not met with an ad every time you load up the game, miss clicks are not penalized by making you watch an ad, there are no ads on the screen, and when you do choose to watch an ad you are prompted with a question that makes sure you want to ACTUALLY want to watch the ad. The gameplay is great and easy to learn and the tutorial is not taxing, but that’s not what will make this game incredibly popular. What’s going to make this popular is the developers attitude towards the player base and commitment towards making an actually good game not riddled with corporate money making schemes.
Great work, can’t wait to play more.
The most part, a very good well balanced game.
Fri Jun 28 2024 PJMohrI have almost no issues with this game, except if you have multiple top level dinos die at one time and the Internet is kind of sketchy you may only be able to save one or two and it most maybe three but no more than that before time runs out. Aside from that everything is great. There’s not a lot of ways that you could just buy what random mutations you need I mean there is a way of paying for extra mutations, but there’s no telling what you’re going to get, there is a lot of waiting, but it’s all balanced out pretty much I think and I like the way they use their ads as part of the game, like, if you want to special feature, you have to go through the cost of doing it, but the special feature is required mechanic for gameplay so it’s all up to you whether or not you use it. There is a slight glitch in the hunting part where if you selected hunts over and over again and you never zoom back in eventually the game crashes because the math is too zoomed out, but if you were playing on a phone you wouldn’t be able to see anything anyway so I think that’s more of an iPad issue. Keep in mind that with it this game is as addicting as a slot machine because you’re constantly “winning” new mutations at random.
Favorite game
Wed Jun 05 2024 senditu7I absolutely love this game. When I have time to play there is plenty to do and I’m not punished by running out of currency. I watch ads to get perks but I love that it’s my choice and not forced on me. I’m a new mom and the game is forgiving if I can’t pay close attention but easy to play one handed while baby naps.
The art is adorable and the colors and patterns are so fun.
The only things I would like to see are not deal breakers but would be nice quality of life for collectors. The colors are sometimes difficult to differentiate, so names for the collectibles on the collections tabs could help identify them. A collection page for the pattern colors would be useful too. There is no way of knowing how many pattern colors exist and when an egg hatches the game doesn’t indicate if the pattern colors are new. Names for the skins would help notify if certain skins are part of a series, too.
Finally, it would be nice if we could have a way to hatch dinos with patterns or colors we have collected but accidentally lost. I would be more than willing to use bones to purchase such eggs and would accept long hatch times just to get those collectibles back!
Overall, it’s a wonderful game that I am so glad to have found.
Ideas
Sat Jul 13 2024 PppppeoeIn the hunting screen the difference between the dark background and the Dino selection is huge, sending out multiple groups at a time flashes the player, maybe like world 3 with the dark background changing the screen to a different color, or even a custom selection the player can choose from. Color selection would also be nice for any other screen pop ups. And much how there are different world backgrounds, having the option to toggle between background for your main camp would be cool. I know you guys are trying to put in just the basics of most games, like tribes and events, having a choice would be cool like maybe having unlocked Dino’s of different colors allow for different color schemes and patterns for screen pop ups. Love this games been playing it for a little bit and I’m excited to see what else you guys put in, I really hope you guys take it in my opinion of custom screens. Thank you
Me again it would also be nice to have a separate pop up/tab to check on breeding Dino’s clicking on individual nests when you have so many is tedious, me also add in a quick unequip/ unequip all Dino’s.
Great passive game!
Fri May 31 2024 TygerRisesLegitimately have been playing non stop the past few weeks. After almost reaching level 500, I figured I’d leave a review.
Devs are super attentive and keep the community updated at every corner, the game continued to evolve in a positive manner. Global chat content is iffy, but that’s any global chat and devs do a good job of responding to most reports. Outside of a few shaky scenarios with interpersonal drama within the game, the community is pretty cool! The leveling mechanic rewards both the passive and active player and as you level up you travel through different islands. Questions are usually answered by chat in a quick manner but their discord is also incredibly helpful. Pleasantly surprised at the pace and attentiveness and eager to play more! It scratches my autistic Dino itch and is a chill game to help me relax while giving me a fun mutation game to play. I’m unsure where the p2w aspect is coming from, you can easily level at a slower pace without paying.
I’m one of the Sam’s in the game, so if you stop by make sure to say hi!
Cares about the players!!!
Thu Sep 26 2024 OlesonlpThis is such a simple game but for some reason I’ve been playing for months. I’ve had such fun playing it and it’s mainly because I have seen the development team work so hard on listening to feedback and improving the game. This game has no ads unless you want to get a boost (but you can use in game items instead, they’re just harder to come by so I prefer to save them for later) and I have never spent or felt the need to spend a single dollar on this game to make it playable. I’m also really excited about the new updates coming to the tribe wars system! I’ve been playing it a lot recently but I’ve been feeling really discouraged because it felt like I spent hours on it and never made any progress because most of my tribe members aren’t super active in tribe wars. I’m very excited for the updates to the Apocalypse Server! Thank you so much for all the work you’ve been putting into this game! Also when is world six coming 👀👀👀
Very good game but could use some improvements.
Thu Jan 25 2024 URRMOTHER69I’ve been playing this game religiously for a few days now and I absolutely love the game and it’s very playable as is. I have a few suggestions as it does seem at the point I am in the game it’s leaning towards more pay to win and it’s becoming very difficult for me to get better Dino’s. I think the chances to get better stats after breeding should be more common then it is cause I can play for an hour and only get one or two better Dino’s. I also think the hp on bosses and other Dino’s should be reworked as the second I got to the 2nd map I’ve only been able to attack the lowest level Dino’s to get food and I’m no where near being able to attack even the second higher tier Dino’s on the map. Like I said though I love the game and will continue to play but I hope you do make a couple changes and please stay away from pay to win I understand you need to make money from the game but please don’t make that all the game is. If some changes are made to the games I will be more than happy to give a 5 star
Needs better Dino color/patterns
Thu Aug 01 2024 FhiiuyfdhnnI really enjoy this game.
There only thing I dislike is that the colors are so bland. My first two colors were brown and dark gray. And it takes so long to finally get a color mutation, like hundreds of Dino births to get one. And it feels like a waste of time. it is so crappy to get a prize that is so bland. I feel similarly about some of the patterns, some you can barely even see anything, and yet it's a legendary pattern? But the Dino stats aren't even affected by the rarity of the color/patterns? Seems like a detail that could be looked at more closely.
There's these Dino nests on the map you can attack and loot the eggs. It takes a lot of time and Dino lives too lot these nests. And they are supposed to be special eggs? And yet the ones I've looted mostly aren't even special. Last one I looted was a starting white color, no pattern, and low stats. And I'm level 39. Why the F am I gonna waste time looting eggs to get low quality Dino's? I can breed better Dino's at my hatchery.
Please do something about this, it's really disheartening, and I really like this game.
Fun Dino Breeding Game!
Sun Jun 02 2024 AdamtheeantI can’t recall ever leaving a review for a game before, but I am enjoying my time playing this game!
Some of the best parts in my opinion are:
-No forced ads
-There are boosts and other things you can buy to speed up gameplay, but they’re not necessary.
-Finding new Dino skins and accessories feels good, they happen naturally at a good enough pace (coming from someone that prefers higher stats over esthetics though)
A few quality of life improvements I’d like to suggest are:
-being able to see the parents of an egg after it’s on the hatch screen (it’s nice seeing this before you hatch an egg, but it would be ever more useful when trying to determine whether to banish or keep a child when their stats are visible)
-being able to see how many hunting parties are out on the UI it’s self on the food gathering view instead of in the middle of the area. You can’t always see when a hunting party returns if you’re scrolled a ways away from the nest.
-I’m sure this is balanced this way on purpose, but when using golden tickets to advance a baby’s age, it feels weird having to use several tickets. Maybe having it take off a percentage instead of a certain length of time would feel better. I can’t complain about this too much as these tickets can be obtained for free through natural gameplay.
Thank you for not having forced ads, I wouldn’t be playing the game if there were forced ads in the game.
Great job on the game!
Wonderful Game that isn’t pay to win!
Mon May 05 2025 LexursI love how I can progress in this game without having to actually spend money on it! So many games have a pay to win strategy where in order to progress at a certain point means spending a lot of money. I absolutely love the fact you can still keep progressing at your own pace without having to pay anything. The option to pay for extra food when you are in a pinch is wonderful and inexpensive to do, as well as the other options they give! It is so nice for me to finally have a game I enjoy that doesn’t empty my pocket in the process.
They also regularly update the game with new content, different color patterns and accessories to find keeps me coming back to collect more. You can tell the developers truly care about what they do and add in, and that they take into account that not all people can pay a lot of money to play. 5 stars all around from me!
