looks like an Forager ripoff tbh

[W.A. the Anum]

Before i go with this, first, im not saying it actually IS a ripoff but it looks just WAY to similar.
thelife bar if you attack stuff, the progression bar, the level up system, the BUILD system, literally the graphics as well.

it looks and feels like a Forager ripoff...

I like it more than Forager because of the automation. I love automation. Also the dev of forager made the bots way too grindy to unlock and it pissed me off (I played the early version of the game and it wasn't like that, he changed it so people won't clear the game too fast :\).

yea i agree with the automation point. in Forager, till you come to the point of automation, you basicly are about to beat the game anyway (for the most part/ at least so it was in my 2 playthroughs) and its...WAY to grindy...

Still, it looks way to close and feels like it could have been a Forager 2 or something...

I think its more like spiritual successor of Forager (except for the annoying sound and rude Forager's dev)
need wait for the full release tho

Forager is a great game, why wouldn't you want more games like it?

if you would understand what "ripoff" means, you do know that is basicly nearly something illegal to do but i save you the details for now. I mean if you wanna know something about THAT and a different case, look on steam for a game called "Killer: Infected One of Us" and you will maybe find some reviews or nice talks in the forum...

I think it's slightly better then forager and it's different enough where I don't think it's a complete rip-off

[Wow, you can really dance!]

For me the speed is too slow and the scale is too small (kept trying to zoom out). Everything has to be bought - even neighboring islands ...which says something about the developer. It was nice to visit but I'm going back to Factorio.

i agree the fact that i also enjoyed (the demo so far) it also more than Forager but exactly looking at both games now side by side makes it feel srsly like Nova Islands is is heavyly inspired by Forager. like by a lot.

And i know a lot people seem not to understand what the meaning behind the ripoff thing is. im not talking the game bad in what it is, the problem is literally nova islands could be a "brother" or "Sequal" from Forager. It looks a lot like it and i have the slight suspision that some elements look like they are taken out of Forager, quite literal. It does not only "feel" to similar, it looks to similar and plays way to similar - even if the automatic part in Forager comes way to late into the gameplay, in Nova Islands it feels like it comes in way to early (to be THAT honest). Still, again, both games feel way to similar. Its not like "terraria" and "Minecraft" level, more like "Among Us" and "Pretender" level...

Too similar to be a coincidence. Its like playing a pixel art mod of Forager. There's so many 1:1 things where I look at Nova Islands and think "This is in Forager, This is in Forager, This is in Forager"

exactly this. it just FEELS and LOOKS to similar to be an coincidence. finally someone understands what i mean

I would disagree. The game has a charm of its own. For me it is better than Forager, and I really enjoyed that game. Finally a game developer that understands that not all gamer's want a boss fight. That little touch alone sets this game apart for me. It has the feel and pace that suits my game style. Forager cold get so manic. I wish the developers all the best and keep up the good work for a game that will stand on its own. Wish listed and will await its EA.
