Survivors: the Quest

I loved this game, I played it all the time. I got super far but hit a snag. There is this match three level in the tropical forest area. It’s the first puzzle in the place ingredients in a circle quest. I can’t skip it because it is essential to moving the story on. It’s impossible to beat, and not because it’s to hard. It’s way to easy. I know that doesn’t make sense, so I’m going to do my best to explain. In the game whenever you match more than three you get a power up, and whenever you finish with extra moves those moves translate into extra power ups. I finished the level with about 7 moves left. The problem is, because of the layout of the level, the power ups activate, and when they do, consistently new ones take their place. I can’t move on to the next level because there is no way for me to get past the power up activation phase. I’ve been waiting for over ten minutes and it shows no sign of stopping. I’ve restarted the level trying to do all sorts of things to prevent this from happening but nothing is working. What would be nice is if there is a button to push if you are waiting for a certain amount of time and want to skip that phase, or making the level a little more difficult so there aren’t as many power ups to activate. That would be much appreciated. I hope this makes sense, I did my best to explain it. I really love this game, so I hope the issues are fixed so I can continue playing. Thank you.

I was pleasantly surprised with this game—it’s a great mix of plot, small hidden object games, match-3s, and general run-around-and-complete-tasks sort of thing. Totally wasn’t expecting to get hooked, but there’s a lot to do in this game and in so many ways, and the plot really keeps you going, so it’s quite difficult to get bored. My only complaint has to do with the match-3 games: it /seriously/ needs better calibration. I’ve been playing for a reasonable amount of time now, and I’ve been playing match-3 games for far longer, and yet this is the only match-3 I keep finding to make moves I never swiped for. Usually right next to the move I’d intended to make and was sure I’d swiped for. It’s happened too often to be a coincidence, and I don’t have gigantic fingers either. Like I’ve said, I’ve played numerous match-3s in the past and currently, and this is literally the only game this has been an issue for, so it’s definitely an odd one out. I tried remedying it by using a stylus for awhile, but that just became inconvenient and was honestly frustrating that I’d need to bring an extra tool around with me for one single game. That said, that’s really my only complaint. The rest of the game is very worthwhile. It just seriously needs that fix.

This game is great for all the times that you're bored out of your mind and want something interesting to play. I'm giving this a 4/5 though because the mini game you have to play every time you want to complete an objective or cook food is getting quite tedious and repetitive, it's a little harder to understand how you're supposed to get extra lives back if you lose in the mini game and I'd like to be able to earn more diamonds to upgrade stuff (since probably 75% of the player base for this game are younger people, they're not likely going to have the money or ability to pay for more diamonds in the store, yet trying to earn diamonds seems to also be really hard and is starting to get boring. However, on the flip side. The game runs great, graphics aren't bad, controls are really easy to learn and storyline so far has kept me fairly interested, bravo to the devs because it's hard to get me and keep me interested in a mobile app game longer than a few days or a week. I do wish you would make it so the lianas and branches stood out a bit more from the regular scenery though, it's a little difficult to find them mixed in with all the rest of the background.

The storyline is great but there are highly difficult match three games that are completely impassable that force players to pay for crystals to pass and I’ve read many complaints on this from others and one person already spent $25 and isn’t even as far as I am in the game. I find this highly unfair because players expect to be playing a free game to maybe spend a few dollars but not more than that to be able to complete the game. I believe that this game has done this to steal money from their players and I’ve contacted support and tried to talk to them about the issue and they told me I need to be more descriptive with my problems with the game itself. So it has become clear to me that the developers of this game don’t plan to fix the issue. They only plan to expand their pockets and continue to rob players. It would be more efficient if players were to have to pay a one time fee of $3-$5 to download and play the game rather than having to spend over $20 to even get halfway past the second location. I will be deleting this game if I can’t pass this five round match three game to go to the second location by 5 days. 5 days for 5 rounds, we shall see. Don’t waste your time on this game unless you want to spend a lot of unnecessary money.

Was obsessed with this game. Even became fantastic at beating the bejeweled games. Then, it happened. As soon as I got ahead of the game: was able to stock up food on multiple levels and max out storage, the game crashed. I did EVERYTHING - restarted, reset, hard reset, deleted and reinstalled the app/game. Nothing worked. I began a new game, seemed everything was going fine. Logged into my account to continue my previous game and suddenly the game crashes yet again. I've tried all of this on multiple devices. After spending far more money on gems than any sane person should, this is how my loyalty is appreciated? By having the game shut itself down if I get too far ahead? I've contacted tech support through several modes of communication and have been auto-responded that G5 is out of offices until January 8th. I'd love that job. However, I'm a teacher and this WAS my stress relief. As of January 8th I will be pushing for this to be fixed pronto OR I will be demanding my money back. All of it. Unacceptable and ridiculous. *****UPDATE***** - NEVER received ANYTHING: Communication, compensation, or a fix. Have started over as of March an entire year later just to se did t happens again. Will NOT be spending ANY money to get to the same level, but at least I have a plan and knowledge now. If it happens again, God help the makers.
