I was trapped
Bland Alpha
I fell in love with this fascinating geometric shape at the first sight in the AppStore. But I was trapped in the launch screen (That good-looking low poly landscape) for about 3 minutes and still remained no response. Does this game need higher phone performance or network access? Please I really want to enjoy this game? (Run on iPhone 6s Plus/iOS 13.6)
Annoying Tutorial or something

I like the idea but oh my lord please lower the amount of times the guys says “let’s see how far the island is” he says it like every mile and when he does you lose control of your boat and i hate getting stuck in whirlpools when i can’t even move. Very frustrating because i know the game could be great
Plain boring disguised as Zen

I get that this is trying to be a calm game about exploring the seas, but all I experienced was worrying about my flares trying to avoid whirlpools, and being confused about certain things, maybe if you wanted to make this easier add interesting mechanics that makes me wanna play more, I don’t like to play games where I’m just holding a button in a certain direction waiting to find an island
Revolves around miles traveled.

There’s oysters for upgrades. They give you like 8 oysters every 6 hours when then reset the stats. You can also fish for oysters. So you can easily purchase all the upgrades. After purchasing all the upgrades, I’m level 4, with 200 miles to travel before I’m level 5, and I need to be level 10 to qualify for the boat I want. This means I will have to travel like 5000 miles to get to level 10, when I have bought everything the game has to offer at 600 miles. So, either get ready to just hold one direction for several weeks, or get ready to give up. Up until this travel restriction before getting better boats, this was fun. A really good game. It just needs more upgrades, more stuff to see, etc.
Gimmicky

My first impression of 1sland was not altogether poor. It seems like a relaxing game you tune into as and when you please, but really the gameplay itself is frustrating and dull. The music is unexciting and unmemorable. Finding an island is not difficult at first, but the flares that indicate the general direction of the island have a much wider radius and arc than the tutorial indicates. It’s almost 180°, which makes the flares almost useless. They basically only indicate the absolute wrong direction to go. I’ve wasted as many as 4 circling an island that was a mere 2 miles from me, even with a buoy deployed, because the directional flares are barely useful. The initial excitement and pleasure of a well-made but simple game faded in just about an hour because gameplay is limited between island spawns and the game itself feels more and more like a joke meant to incentivize spending money. Boring. Simplistic. Cash-grabby. Poorly designed.
Please fix error

Error could not update stats. Resets player to starting location after 45 seconds. Unplayable.
I get it

Listen tips are fine for the first time playing but this game grinds to a halt every 15 seconds by tips you can’t turn off and it’s annoying.

Great game, I love the adventure, and it’s really peaceful, I would strongly recommend getting this game.
Mostly bots

Most of the game is bots, when “someone” finds an island it usually says “philo just found the island!” Like 90% of the time. I do really enjoy the graphics but after a while the game gets really boring. So that’s why I’m giving it two stars.
