After playing this game for about 2 days, there's only one word that truly describes this game best, "BORING."
* Gameplay - 2 *
The game play, be it original, definitely made me yawn several occasions. The name of the game is survival, yet there's not much you have to do to survive except gulp down water every time your energy gets low. If you plan on making a game where the main point is being stranded on tropical islands needing to use the resources around you to survive, you should at least add some actual useful resources. I noticed that chopping trees was irrelevantly easy especially since I never had an axe. I also found it amusing that animals could "block" arrows being shot at them.
* Presentation - 5 *
The graphics of this game I admit weren't horrible, but could definitely be better. Not all of the icons seemed fit well, and some were even missing. This was definitely a boredom factor.
* Originality - 7 *
I'll admit, this is the first of it's kind, and even inspired a few others like it. The basic idea is original, tho the idea doesn't fit well with what's been put into the game. This game sets an example as to how originality doesn't necessarily guarantee a great game.
* Community - (-10) *
The community is one of the worst on byond. Constantly players are stealing, looting, and torturing others. If you're planning to play this game, I wouldn't recommend trusting anyone, because no matter who it is, they'll always end up backstabbing you and showing you just how must time you've truly wasted. Most of the player's you'll see trying hard to steal other's items, rather than making them, themselves. If you're looking to make friends, this isn't the play you'd want to start off at.
* Wrap-Up *
I don't recommend this game at all. I believe it to be a complete waste of time. If you're into clicking trees for ours, and getting killed and looted every time you make something worth the effort, by all means, look no further.

Then why did you waste 2 days on it? Reviews only take maybe an hour to get a decent outlook.
