By watching the videos and reading some of the reviews this game looks like lots of fun. I'm really into designing things and being creative but this game was just not it for me. I started it up and it was extremely glitchy the island bugged out and so I started it up again and the same things happened, a few more tires and I got it to work and it wasn't as much fun as I originally thought and it wasn't worth redownloading five times just for it to bug and lag.

I've spent about 15 minutes with this game and have spotted too many flaws to continue with it. The interface is clunky, there are a few bugs around (menus that don't close, stuck on load screen for no reason, language switches to Chinese for no reason) and the tutorial just disappears midway through. I hoped this would offer some distraction but it only brought frustration.

I some how just like open this game then listen to the BGM and sound effect. The color in this game was good. Guess you guys did a lot of research for those plants...

The game wants to be similar to Equilinox but fails to scratch that itch. - bad or misisng translation - moving across the island is a PAIN - the gameplay is very simple (you just switch between playing plants and animals to geenrate points) and there is not much more to it. - achievements don't work if you like the look of Island story, i recommend you check out equilinox
