Surprisingly enjoyable. I'm a sucker for island survival games and this one hits the spot really good. As one might figure, the game is quite janky, but for the most parts it's more fun than it is annoying. Maybe my biggest peeve is that it seems to be impossible (at least I haven't found out how) to unlock all of the character skills. The level seems to cap out at 15 and it seems like you need two or three more levels to get all of the upgrades, so you cannot truly 100% it, but that is more or less the only major problem, so I'd still recommend it.
