Tinker Island: Adventure Story 9+

I just updated the game and got to the chamber where you do the water puzzle. The answers and pictures are wrong. For the first one it should be 7 but it is 3. The second part of the puzzle has the exact same picture but the answer is 4. The picture of the last part is the same as part 1 and 2, but has a tube connecting the two sections. Despite all this, the answer should still be 7, but it is 5 somehow. I know it’s not game breaking, but it was annoying spending a lot of coral on something that I should be right according to the information given. Overall I love this game and can’t wait for more event islands and part 2.

Edit: So I finished the Temple and got Seraph and got to the part where you collect coral everyday to get gems. I just started to work on getting the bee box and then a pop up appeared saying that I unlocked the pier. I checked the map and sure enough I did. I still have Seraph but I can’t collect coral for gems. I tried to explore it but nothing happened when it finished.

Edit 2: Now I can get coral but I can’t use it. The pier is still there and doesn’t work and I can’t click on the vegetation to get rid of it for gems.

While the game begins just as any tutorial, you’re met with a very clean and pleasant looking interface which is where most of the game will take place. Unfortunately there isn’t any way to roam, but I do understand that’s not the type of game it is. Would still be nice to see though. Second the wait times are excessive, while towards the beginning you are met with a lot of skips and free timers, after your past the so called tutorial phase, you’ve now entered excessive wait times. As when you sit down to play the game the wait times can very from 5 minutes to a few hours for a charter you come upon very early in the game. The only way to skip these how ever is by using your gems, but we all know there’s only a limited supply and at a point you will need to spend money, which I do understand is how they make money from this game, it would just be nice to see a decrease in wait times or at least for basic things such as exploring and gathering. But like a said the game is actually quite enjoyable and I like the adventures/decisions you are able to make which will result in different outcomes. But what really brings the game down to a 3 and loses my focus is the time I spend waiting, as all I want to do is sit down and grind and enjoy a hour or two of gameplay, without draining my wallet.

This game has a lot of content. Lots of areas, cool characters, hunts, mechs (believe it), crafting, mini games, events, and it’s relatively easy to earn gems (in game currency). The text based missions/adventures are fun, creative, and at times humorous. Overall this game impresses me, and is much more than I expected. But the game does have some flaws that can greatly impact your progress/enjoyment in this game. Some of the missions/mechanics are nonintuitive and usually end up costing you a ton of your resources. The game can be imbalanced at times where you can’t progress for a long time because of lack of resources, due in part to the flaw mentioned above and just not receiving enough resources/opportunities while playing. There is also real jerk move the game makes where you will have to pick a dialogue but they are all the same (‘place block’ 8 different times for example) and if you don’t pick them in the right order then you fail the mission, but there was no possible way to know beforehand and it wastes all your resources.. Maybe the developers think it’s funny/clever but it just came off as ignorant to me. I’d still recommend this game and will continue playing it but to say that the game doesn’t have some flaws would be a lie, hopefully some of these issues get addressed.

Edit: -1 star because of ‘Tangle’ level, fix it or do away with it because it’s a load of crap!
