Casting Away

1. You can get to the second Island but after that is IMPOSSIBLE to get to the third. You will have to fish level 2-3-4 fishes 1000’s times to upgrade all your fishing equipment to reach the length and depth to find the “gray whale” which unlocks level 3. 2. You must spend at least $2.99 to $5.999 to be able to play and have a chance to get to the second Island. 3. Needs major updates: fish tanks are useless. 4. In addition to the runes (which you get when you catch a fish) you need supplies (wood, iron, nails), you can get them little by little when fishing or you can watch Ads to double, triple the amount. It’s a bad experience 5. Don’t want Ads? You have to pay for it. 6. Upgrading buildings is highly expensive 7. If you want to catch big fish that provides more runes, you need to acquire sinkers, minows, and other items. The runes you end up getting from fish level 3-4-5 doesn’t pay the cost of the extra equipment you need to buy. Good things: beautifully designed (minimalist), calming music, great potential to become a 5-star app, but without these fixes it’s a 2/5. I will stop playing after two weeks and wait for an update…

Recently updated the game and went to play after a while away from the game. It started from the initial scene and proceeded from the very beginning. All of my progress (other seas unlocked) and purchases (no ads) were gone. I tried to go to support on their website and Casting Away isn’t even listed. Suppose I’m just deleting the game at this point.

Another one of those games that locks off all of the UI and forces you on a guided tour. This pattern needs to be shelved already.

Super fun concept. Nice visuals. Poor execution. Literally the most basic of games and still managed to let me down. The main characters story serves no purpose so why not just give the capability of customizing your character for better immersion? Id consider playing if I could play my own character stranded and it had just a little more depth if you’re gonna have a storyline.

Very good!! Sometimes the adds won’t play to multiply gifts. Also, it would be great to use the fishes in the fishing net as bait… Otherwise, good game!

This is a very simple game at its core. The music is very relaxing and repetitive. The fact that you do not need energy or gems is a huge plus. Like the game so much I purchased the no ads upgrade.

I actually really love this game and got my son to play it too. We were really enjoying it but was horrified to have ads with big, busty panting women and the literal letters “NSFW” on the ad. Look, if you want those ads that’s fine, but then don’t say that this game is appropriate for ages four and up! 🤬

I have had this game for a long time. I log in, catch a few fish, pick up my supplies at the farm and then log out. It makes for five minutes of relaxing time a day. I have not spent any money in the game, but I am currently level 26. Progression is very slow without spending, but this isn’t really a game where progression gets you anything… mostly because there have been no content updates since 2022. The game could really be fun, but the devs seem to have largely abandoned it. Take it for what it is, but anything after about the first 3 hours of play is just repetition. Lastly, if anyone can tell me where the daily food rewards show up, I would love to know. I dont think they go anywhere (just disappear)…but if they actually are getting stockpiled somewhere, I have a million years worth of food to live off of.

Easy enough to entertain my kinder kid for a while. Excited for the next expansion :)

For almost every thing there is to do in this game there is an ad wall. Of course you can make a purchase to go ad free, but is there enough fun here for that? IMO no.
