Terra Nil

Update: After looking at other reviews, I came across one that explains my monorail issue and I’m back into it and moving forward in the game. Updating my rating to 3 stars, as I still haven’t gotten the sound to work and there is still lagging. —————————————————————— I first downloaded and played Terra Nil all the way through last summer (2023). I really enjoy it and found the gameplay smooth and the graphics decent. For a simulation game, I liked that it was different. No people, farms, civilizations. Just ecosystems to restore. There was a great sound track of nature sounds and overall it was a calming and moderately challenging game to play. My only complaints were the overheating of my device after a while and disappointment that there weren’t more levels. I played it until there was nothing new for me to do or try and I had restored the “planet.” After that, I deleted the app to save some space on my phone. It’s so different now! Nowhere near as good! It’s been about a year since, and yesterday I decided I wanted to play again from the very beginning. So, I redownloaded Terra Nil. The gameplay is nothing like before. Not smooth at all. The action is laggy. It freezes up for a few seconds at a time. There is no sound at all. I checked the app sound settings. I checked my phone sound settings. Nothing. I’m currently stuck in the island region, where the monorail nodes come into play. No matter how many I build, the monorail station won’t unlock. Without that, I can’t seed any coral reefs or begin recycling structures. Without coral reefs, I can’t get to the third stage in the region, build a research station or look for animals. That all means I’ll never unlock any other regions or be able to move forward in the game. Completely disappointing! I hope the app gets fixed soon.

It just keeps crashing. I’ve closed all other apps, it still crashes. I rebooted my iPad, it still crashes. It’s just not ready for release. This should still be in beta. UPDATE: I deleted this and walked away. Then I noticed that they released a new version. 0.5. I downloaded it and tried it again. And the crashes started again. Still not playable.

This would be such a fun a relaxing game but you can only get so far until it just continuously crashes.

lol. What goofy game. Like all Netflix games I’ve tried. Unclear rules on how to play a game. Painfully slow. Boring/u interesting If this is where subscriptions monies are going. I’m not gonna keep my subscription!! The movie and show selection is already horrible at this point. But they can’t even give us decent games!! Netflix has done it again!! Disappointment after disappointment!!!

Once I figured out the patterns I love the game! But please update and make more levels - some function much better than others.

No idea, this game won’t let me play it. Says I need a Netflix account. Yet before downloading it, it never said anything about it. So until Netflix allows people to play the game to see if it can be enjoyed, it will stay a 1 Star.

My phone handles decently intensive games, and should be able to handle this so I don’t think it’s a hardware or storage issue (I have plenty available). Crashes so regularly, tried uninstalling then reinstalling and still crashes frequently. Would be a great game if it was playable.

Let me start off by first saying I havent played this game. Why you might ask? Because I dont have a netflix account. Now why would someone ever want to buy a subscription for a (now) rather lack luster streaming service for the combination of game and streaming? Most wouldnt I would assume, if they dont already have an account. Now whats especially interesting is the other side of things, now you have a game which is just sorta a byproduct of your streaming service. It seems like it would make more sense to have it be a promotional thing for people who have accounts to not pay. Let general use be allowed, even for a short trial period, and then have to pay for it. Thats fine. Both ways you get your money. Its just odd in my opinion to close out a portion of potential users just for a promotional thing that I also think wont work.

What I *could* play I really enjoyed, but I couldn’t even finish the tutorial level because of constant crashes. Even after reinstalling, even after restarting my device, even after updating my OS. Sigh. Then I came here and saw that this crashing problem been happening for months. Man, not a good look. At all.

This would get a 5 if it wouldn’t kick you out sometimes and add more maps👍
