Don't Starve: Pocket Edition in IOS

★★★★★

★★★★★ Pretty Decent but Glitchy

It’s not as good as Don’t Starve Together (especially Wendy and Abigail) but it’s still pretty good. Except when you almost die to an invisible ewecus. And when pigs walk off the earth and onto the water and never come back. Yes, I said onto the water. Like Jesus. There also seems to be a rare glitch where making food turns straight into rot. Oh, and placing walls/fences is absolutely terrible. Also, my game crashed when I made frogs attack a lure plant. Probably a bad idea on my part but it was funny. There’s also a weird glitch when you die and respawn at the statue, your character just starts taking off in one direction. I also had a fire hound spawn in my first winter. Kinda strange. Also, when your weapon breaks, it doesn’t replace the weapon even if you have the same kind in your inventory but it’ll do so good shovels/pickaxes/etc. Also, Abigail gets stuck offscreen all the time and there’s no way to pull her aggro off of anything. I let her die if she’s accidentally summoned and just throw the flowers at the spawn statue; that’s how useless she is to me here. Also, my world had no “totally normal trees” and I had to spawn a tree guard for living logs. It utterly destroyed me. But great game :D love DST so this is good way to play when I’m not home.

★★★★★ Excellent game, but just one thing

I’m just going to keep this very brief. I’m writing this in the hopes that a developer somehow finds it. Although this game is amazing in every sense of the word And exactly my style...the thing that all of the internet and mostly reddit is complaining about is the fact that, if you were to try to play a song or a podcast of any kind while in the app it will stop your music and will not allow you to resume. It seems like a very small problem but to some it’s a rather big deal. The game is great and interesting, but once you know everything there is to know about the game, seen everything there is to see, and slain every beast possible, it gets boring. That’s just how all games are and there’s nothing can change it. But if you can listen to a podcast or entertainment of any kind, then the game once again becomes very useful. It will function as something for the eyes and hands to do while the ears are otherwise occupied. This not to say that the ambience, FX, and in-game music aren’t enough, it’s just that it gets repetitive and mind numbing after a while. So on behalf of me and the group of fans who love to play a relaxing game with entertaining audio media I ask that you change it. btw wasn’t as brief as I thought

★★★★★ Repeat symbol

My only issue is having to click the food to eat 1 by 1. Its not fair that that if i use the repeat symbol it only makes the last item made. The other version didnt have the problem. Not only that i paid for this game an for it to not really work correctly!! That issue needs to be fixed! Why should i have to keep clicking to eat 1 by 1 when i can hold the repeat symbol down an not have to click the bar on the bottom an then the food then eat! It would be nice for that bug to go away! An fixed!! If its paid for. It shouldn’t matter if on console or pc or phone that repeat button should be able to use for food an not the last item made. The game isnt being as fair at all. I havent made it passed 27 days! Even if i created my own world the things i don’t want still pop up an still in the game. I always put no rain an it still rains no matter what. I put no winter an winter still comes. I put no summer! An yet again summer comes! These bugs needs to be fixed!

★★★★★ Why does it keep auto attacking?

I love this game. I love it to bits. I have over 160 hours on steam and I finally had the common sense to get the mobile version. The game is fun and works like the PC version, but I am incredibly frustrated because of one particular glitch. I like to make camp by the beefalo for protection and easy manure production, but for some reason, my player will randomly auto-attack the beefalo. Without my hand being anywhere near the three general control buttons, the character will all of a sudden decide to attack the beefalo. There was even a solid minute of gameplay where I had to keep moving the character away from the beefalo because it kept running toward them to attack! I’ve tried multiple things, but nothing works and it only seems to be the beefalos. I’ve had three games end because I haven’t found a respawn and my character auto attacked them only for them to kill me in two hits. It’s incredibly discouraging and disappointing :/

★★★★★ Random glitch?

Listen I love don’t starve to the point where I bought it on my phone so I can play on the go. then i deleted he game and forgot about it for a while before coming coming back a couple days ago not even remembering why I deleted in the first place. however playing for a couple minutes and it all comes back ….the sudden screen freezing….it happens almost every couple seconds and each time it freezes it’s like a minute. you can exit the game and come back and your game will be fine for a couple minutes or maybe half an hour then it goes back to the stupid screen constantly freezing. it’s no wonder why I keep dieing I can barley move I’m literally immobilized I don’t know if your still fixing bugs or anything since a lot of the ratings are like years old but please for the love of god get rid of the constant freezing or maybe it’s just me than if so tell me what I can do to make it stop

★★★★★ Needs Optimization

After playing for 3 in-game days eventually after taking 2-3 steps the game will lag so badly it freezes for 3-5 seconds. Saving and quitting is the only method I’ve found of fixing it, but it only lasts another day or two before the lag starts up again. Also, the interact buttons need to be spaced out a bit more. When trying to click the green gather button, if I’m near something that can be attacked my character will attack instead of gather. And when trying to click the red attack button, if I’m near anything that can be gathered my character will gather instead of attack. Sometimes if I click the gather button my character will go on autopilot and won’t stop gathering items until I click somewhere else on the screen or there’s nothing left to gather near me. This issues are *slightly* annoying, but I’ll only have to tolerate them until I can get Don’t Starve for the Switch! ^-^

★★★★★ Love the game but mobile has issues

I love this game. I have it on my computer and I love it. But the pocket version has some issues. I can’t keep my own music playing in the background even with this app’s music turned off. Don’t get me wrong the music is good, but the looping gets to me after a while. Also some of the functions are twitchy. I’ll go pick a pile of items from chopping down a tree, and the character will just twitch in circles. This morning I was trying to arrange items and put some in a chest, and it would swap items rather than just put the items in the chest, despite how accurate I was dragging the item to an empty slot. It also didn’t let me stack the niter together in side the box. I had to take both piles out of the chest and combine them in my inventory. And while this seems trivial, it’s frustrating. I was trying to make room in my inventory so I could cook some food but I spent a good chunk of the night to get the inventory sorted.
