8 of 25This game is really fun like all of the V.V games but in this one I cannot complete the statue. I get to the top of the hill and it just sits there. No one will continue working on it...and I have 6 builders. Tried them all and nothing. Please fix this issue. Would be a 5 star game easily.
The game is going really good so far and I have a way of keeping my villagers alive. First, go to options. Then you select pause. Finally you can put it on slow and play each day because your chief can create food every 24 hours. After you have saved up enough food, you do not have to worry about them starving.😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
This app is the fully best out of them all!!!!!!!!! Best app I EVER bought!!!!totally worth the money!!!But please help me!!!!! I am stuck on the statue!!! all my huts are built and I have no master builders!!!!! not even adept or trainee!!!!!! all I can do is fix the huts!!! ! More huts to build p.ease include a clothing hut!!!!! But otherwise, it is an awesome app!!!!!
I love the V.V. games! I was doing pretty good, about halfway through all the puzzles, when it started crashing. I reboot and pick up where it reset me to, losing food and tech progress, and it let's me play for a couple minutes then crashes again. About 4 times in the last 15 min. Please fix!
I have played VV 1,2 and now just finished 3. This has been the slowest version yet. It takes days and days to finish tasks and food is so scarce in the beginning that you will lose half of your villagers. Three stars because I love the series this version just wasn't as fun.
How do you reach that pink key at the top of the cliff? I put my people next to it and they just jump. It doesn't work!!!! Help please!!!!!!
The game itself is ok, better than the first two since there's more to do. However, the potions blowing up is SOO ANNOYING!!! I'll have a potion blow up on me, then try to make a healing potion, and those will keep blowing up on me! The game would be so much better and more enjoyable if they made them stop constantly blowing up.
Would be great if it didn't crash. Every time it crashes I lose a lot of progress.
