"Todays announcement is not fun . We have doubled the amount needed to craft Gingerbread. Some things in this game hurts its progression and we know its tough to take away players toys, but sometimes you just need to. Don’t hate us too much and have a good weekend."
Just after I posted a review that was in good favour of the game! Thank you very much Devs, it looks like we lost a couple of long-time players just because of this decision of yours. Pray tell, in what way does crafting gingerbread at the previous rate hurt game progression?
As it is now, this is only a small game community and spice is precious and hard to come by. Your decision to raise the price for gingerbread/cookies will only lead to more double-harvesting and other unsocial behaviour but it will not entice players to buy creds for rubies or whatever you may have thought it would lead to.
I may not hate you too much but you lose a star nonetheless.
3/5 now
@w4m4w, thank you for your view! We have to take into consideration that this game is over a decade old and originated in Latvia, a country with an indigineous population which is "white". The lack of being able to choose skin colour when making your avatar bugs me too, same as the gendered clothing. The natives speaking broken English however only reflects the Kong community whose English is not any better (myself included). And seriously, the natives got a hold on you with all their demands! They're not dumb, they know how to make you work for them.
I like your island, it's a real nature reserve.
About the toxic and cultist fandomship, I haven't encountered it so far.
This game's rating of 2.7 is inexplicably and looks quite unfair. I've been playing it for 11 months now and I think there is no other game on Kong that offers us such a variety: Oceania has farming without the hassle of most farming games, zoo elements without the annoying tycoon stuff, it has riddles, nice cartoon characters and a workshop to make any stuff from food to jewellery.
There is no threat from neighbours, no fighting, in fact you need neighbours to progress easily.
And yet it puts no pressure on advancing - you can make your own little world, a vacation site, a zoo, a nature preserve, a vast plantation or farm - whatever suits you.
True enough, the coding is... sometimes kinda awkward but I've seen worse in younger games.
Give it a chance - there's a helpful community springing to your rescue in case you'd get stuck.
Rated 4/5
*sarcasm on*/ TSG permits multiple accounts, so go on and fill your club with lots of clones! No easier way ever to send yourself gifts and ensure yourself a place among the fat cats! Hey, why even think about playing honestly when cheating is made so easy? /*sarcasm off*
No doubt I'll get downvoted by those mentioned above...
On the plus side: Nice location pictures, nice sounds.
On the down side: Game system benefits those already advanced or willing to spend lots of cash on game stuff. I have to deal with the negative effects of rampant capitalism in my real life, so I felt somewhat disappointed at finding the same mechanisms when looking for what was supposed to be a relaxing fishing game. Might start real life fishing now.
I love this game but Firefox keeps freezing whenever I close the tab/finish playing. Inbuilt feature to make me play endlessly or some bad behaviour of my comp? Have not experienced issues like that with any other game on Kongregate. Please help!
We are looking into it. We checked the game on several computers and it works fine, but we'll continue investigating and hopefully will fix it with new release.
I'd give the game a better rating if the 'shark problem' could be fixed. Played uncounted hours, caught porgy and bass and a grouper as heavy as I - but no shark large enough to win at location 3. Such a pity...
