8 of 25Whenever the ocean is dirty, I can’t fish! Can I Clean It?! (don’t spoil, anyone out there)
I enjoyed the game to the most part, figuring out the puzzles and the balance between tribe numbers / food through the fist half of the game. The collections were fun and interactive, glad to have the kids ‘working’ instead of in the way. Additionally, looking for those collectibles made the ‘waiting around’ less of a chore. Dislikes: - for Healer: they don’t continue to learn like they did for VV1. So how do you ever get them to Master, except by babysitting them and dragging them one to of the plants constantly. - for skill advancement: some are stuck on the Adept skill for decades and never make Master, when that is the only job I give them - for Farming: when I task them to farm, the Villager(s) will do so for one round then walk off to get coconuts and deplete that stash when there is an entire plot of farm ready to be harvested, unlike VV1 Overall: I had to babysit this game MUCH more than I wanted to.
I can’t figure out how to irrigate the land for my villagers to grow food. I can’t figure out how to fix the ocean so they can fish again. My villagers are starving and dying!! I played the very first virtual village and I bought tech points and from there I could figure out how it out by myself. But all the rest of the virtual villages won’t let me buy tech points so I can’t figure out what to do. Please, someone, anyone help me!
I cannot download this game. ANY SUGGESTIONS ANYONE??
The game is still fun, but after the iOS 10 update, the tech prices (except for Level 2 Farming) doubled. For example, Level 3 Farming, which used to cost 90,000 tech points, now costs 180,000 tech points. It was better before with the original prices.
Everything is very slow to complete compared to the first game (which is a lot of fun!). I hate that the algae grows on the main food source within like 2 seconds of starting the game, it doesn’t really give you a chance to properly establish your island first. Not nearly as fun as the first one :(
I liked playing these games on my computer and finally decided to start playing them on my iPhone. I passed the original virtual villagers in less than a week without a restart because I had previously beaten it. What I don’t like about any of the other virtual villagers games going forward is the the original/first lets you buy “boosters” of help like 2x tech point, buying tech point and food. I know everyone isn’t always about pay for a game but without any sort of help on the 2nd and 3rd games I’ve had to restart numerous times. I also have the issue with when I go to pause it, it doesn’t actually pause and all my villagers die overnight. Please fix these issues so I don’t have to cheat and look up help online to try to move to the next game!
Something is wrong with this game. I kept restarting it because all of my villagers starved to death before accumulating enough tech points to buy level 3 farming. I want my 99 cents back.
