Hello everyone,
I’d like to address the current review situation of my game. As many of you know, it’s a sandbox survival game with base-building elements that has consistently been rated between "Mixed" and "Positive" overall.
Recently, however, an unusual pattern has emerged: There has been an increase in negative reviews from players with only 0.2 hours of playtime (about 6 to 20 minutes) who often refund the game shortly after purchasing – particularly during the 80% discount sale when the game was priced at 2 dollars. Many of these reviews mention bugs but remain vague without providing specific details. Even when I directly ask for clarification in the reviews, I receive no responses.
Of course, there will always be players who don’t enjoy the game – which is perfectly normal. However, the current pattern raises some questions.
This situation has made me and some players wonder, as I’ve received messages from people who are puzzled by the sudden surge in negative reviews and can’t quite understand it. I want to emphasize that I take reviews very seriously and always try to address feedback to help or improve the game. Supporting the community and continuing to develop the game is very important to me.
Perhaps this is just a temporary phase, but I must take it seriously. As an indie developer working alone, such phases can have significant consequences, as a game often struggles to recover from them.
Maybe it’s something in the game itself, maybe there are misunderstandings, or perhaps it’s just not a game for everyone. In any case, I am very interested in understanding what I can do better. Your constructive feedback is incredibly valuable for the continued development of the game.
If you have been playing the game for a while and have any thoughts or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share them. Any kind of feedback is valuable and helps in further developing and improving the game.
Thank you for your support and interest in my game. Your feedback and suggestions are invaluable in improving and advancing the gaming experience. I appreciate your patience and engagement!
