With the newest game ballance update I am for the first time able to actualy get further than a 100 survivours. The game is easier to balance, as well as adding more fun challenges. I am absolutly hooked again. And it looks like I might get far this time.
Good update!

I love the art design. Coming from Factorio, this was a fun experience. Very laid back. I also like the challenge system. Give it a try you're interested in city builders.

It is a cute and easy little game. Did not play on harder difficulty, but on default settings there is no challenge.

Very polished with clear mechanics and difficulty that scales properly. Art and animations are also very fun and match the game's overall aesthetic.

This is a great, fun little game. It's fairly chill but gives you enough challenge to keep you on your toes.

For such a game im surprised its barely know. Its concept is quite unique being a city builder that takes place on the back of what is essentially Sauroposeidon (tallest Dinosaur recorded). Good mechanics, only critque I have of it is a personal one of its artstyle and 2D choice for villagers but hey its still fun!

This game is phenomenal and the dynamic of having to take care of the beast as you take care of your civ. is unique and makes you feel "one with the land" that you build upon. Its the perfect blend of a chill vibe with a touch of stress to ensure all is well with the civ & beats. 10/10 would recommend keep up the good work!

The game is out for over two years, but it's still lacking so many quality of life changes and contents. I think the biggest problem with this game is that it lacks potential. Reading the roadmap, there's nothing on the horizon that makes me look forward to and believe it will become interesting in the future. I would like to compare it to games in similar genre such as Against the Storm and DotAge. Both of those games have an interesting core mechanics, and notable improvement from patch to patch. I just don't see it in this game, and it's not for developer's lack of trying. They are also indie game developers with a small team so there is no excuses.
A good part of this game is about micromanage your buildings, but not in an interesting way. There are currently 6 biomes in the game (including the starting default biome), but most of these biomes don't play out too differently. The events along the way is uninteresting, most of them would be described as annoyances rather than challenges or rewarding experience. There is a little difference in strategy and building layouts, largely due to the fact that there is only two kinds of tile you can build stuff on, grass and mud.
Given it's been in the development for this long. I just don't see it become a game that will be fun and that I can recommend to others.

Oh I love this game so much!
With every update it just keeps getting better! Can’t wait for the full release (even tho I don’t want the content to stop).
If you play on the lowest difficulty the game becomes absolutely cozy and relaxing. I like playing both ways but I gotta admit the „cozy mode“ makes it easier to appreciate the art and all the little details.

Love this game. Wish there where more like it. I just feel so bad for the critter I have my people on. I always try to be nice to it but eventually I have to take its blood or pinch it because its stubborn. Save the onbu's!!!
