Love this game in 2026

I’ve been playing the virtual villagers games since I was a child who discovered that I could play games on the internet (bigfishgames, I’m looking at you 🫶) and it’s been such a joy to play through the games as an adult. I love the simplicity of the first few installments where you can get a full game with no advertisements, in-app purchases, or other bs. I loved how the world shifted and changed as the puzzles were unlocked and how the animals in the world played a role in the story. I can’t wait to play through the rest of the games as well! 10/10.

Fun until it wasn’t

I bought this game because I loved the entire series as a kid, would play it nonstop! I had a great time replaying it until the final puzzle. I spent quite awhile getting there and it turns out I can’t even finish the game. The hummingbird never came EVER, literally the key to finishing the game and it never happens. Might be a glitch but very frustrating.

90% good.

I would say 100% if we could still rename our characters. You really should give us that option since the original and the other version for iPad has it.

I would rate this as a 5 if there were more opportunities to have “running villagers”. I love this game but I get bored with it due to slow villagers. This game is fun and exciting when the villagers have the good attribute of “running”. Otherwise it is a dud.

It’s not working!! :(

I love this gane, I remember playing it back 5 years ago and I am so glad to have found it still on the app store today. While I was playing the game it won’t allow me to gather things. For example if I see a mushroom, it won’t let my villager pick it up :(. Its been doing this for me on every game of yours I play, if it could be fixed that would be great :)!

LOVE IT!!!!

I absolutely love how this game is in real time! I love how atm I have 60 villagers! I have a 3* cause I would love for there to be a major update where we can explore different parts of the island and use our extra tech points for extra food or to purchase more space for our people! Please someone look into this! Would love to continue to have interest in this game! But do love it!

WHY CANT I LOAD MY GAME FROM THE FREE VERSION TO THE FULL VERSION!!!!!

I am in love with this game...yes...BUT i started out with the free version and got a lot done but when i tried to have another baby it told me that i cant produce more kids in the free version so i got the full version hoping that my data from the free version would transfer over but instead i have to start ALLLLLL OVER AGAIN!!!!!! And its quite upsetting to be honest. If you have a button to convert from the free to full version then you should be able to transfer your data over into the full version instead of being forced to start all over again!!!!! FIX THIS PRONTO!!!!!

Love it!

I love this game and had the free version, and I was like what the heck and bought this one for a dollar today. St first I thought it was a waste of money but now I’ve found that it has a much higher village population limit than before, and I really like this feature. I’m not sure if anything else is different but I love the game and I think that buying it is totally worth it.

Why can't you combine the free one with the one you buy it makes no sense to build up that much on a game not to be able to carry over the experience from one game over to the same game that you buy

Great! Though I can't change the names

My sister and I have always loved all the Virtual Villagers series! Although when we had gotten the Tree of Life on our iPad, we could change the names of the villagers. I know that the keyboard isn't supported on the iPhone for Virtual Villagers, but I'd like to name my villagers when I'm on my phone lol.. But this app is so much fun anyways, totally worth it being ONLY .99!! It seems like a 5 dollar game haha:)

HELP ME PLEASEEEEEEEE!!!

I love the game a lot but, I REALLY need help! My villagers are starving, yet they keep having babies and harvesting their only source of food besides the mushrooms, blackberries. Now they've eaten everything and there is a bunch of females with little ones that I don't want to die! I scroll down the reviews for help but nobody has clear instructions on how to get them food! How do you cook the hard fruit? PLEASE ANYBODY HELP ME!

Flipping amazing!!!!!!!!

Ok so I love this game! Here are some tips •the dry grass is the little brown spot by the fire wood •get level 2 building and put a villager on the rock pit by the yellow fruit tree it will take some time but they will clear the debris then heat some rocks in the fire and ur villagers will put them in the pit then cover with banana leaves voala cooking pit •clear the debri by the water then put a adapt builder/scientist on the rock where the waterfall used to land •fix the dock and build the clothing hut then get boiling water in the pot and set ur villager on the dock and they will make cloth • the first building you build is the love shack so that if u get stuck on a problem u will b able to continue with future generations Have fun it's a ball😄I love this game, how u tell how much I do take the thing u love the most(family don't count) and times it by💯

I love this game so much but i only have girls left in my village! Is there any way possible to get a boy in there! To get the stream to go farther you have to have a villager that is both an adapt builder and an adapt scientist and you put them on the rock where the waterfall used to fall.

Great game but a promblem

This is a great game but i wish that when you clear the debris that the debris wont keep on piling up. I found that it was really annoying. I hope in the next update you guys will stop the debris. I also think VV.6 should be about them goin to the heart of Isola and finding a big volcano where they have to tame it and keep from being killed in explosions.

I'd totally recommend buying it! I've had no problems with it and passed the game (thanks to the Internet!) and still play it! It's fun! You should also buy it because you can't pass the came unless (because for one of the puzzles you need 20 villagers). It's worth $1.99!! 😉
