Great story line, but keeps randomly restarting my village.

I’ve always loved these games, I grew up playing them, so when I found them on the App Store I was more than thrilled! The development of the series has been very enjoyable. After completing the first two I was excited to start the 3rd. However after I had finally gotten my village stable, techs unlocked, population growing, etc. I closed the app and when I came back my village was gone and it had started over?? I’m now back at 8 villagers with no tech nor collectibles. This has happened a few times now and it’s making it hard wanting to continue playing.

Solution for the food

This game is great! I love all the puzzels and just the game itself. I've noticed a lot of people have said their people r dead from starvation :/ it's easy. Beehive: there r these stick-like things right next to the beehive on the ground, put a villager on them and he/she will go to the fire to light them, & then he/she will go to the beehive. U now have honey :) Orchard: U need to have level 2 restoration and at least 3 adept builders. Place the builders on the machine in the blackish dirt right next to the food bin. They will then fix the machine, wait till it rains and put a builder to stand on the lift, wait for the lift to go all the way up and a piece of fruit will drop. Drop a villager on the piece of fruit & he/she will go and plant it. Do this 3 times for the Orchard. Fish: you need to either have lvl 2 magic/nature do the potion to get rid of the sharks (pitcher plant/berries & 2 black orchid) (I think) then the villager will get rid if the sharks and u can start to fish. Hope this helps!!!!!

Awesome game and highly recommended

I love this game and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves to play games but is usually very busy. This game progresses even when you aren't playing it, which is perfect for those who are always very busy. The puzzles are very challenging, but if you get stuck, there is plenty of help online, even very detailed lists of how to accomplish each puzzle. To the person who got stuck trying to push the statue up the hill: you MUST have a chief directing the work at all times. If, for some reason, your chief stops, then the progress stops until you make your chief return. To the person who's villagers won't age: this game runs off the clock in your iPhone/iPod Touch, and if there is a problem with your clock, then the game won't run correctly.

I love this game! But,

Apple is forcing thousands of game developers to update their apps into a 64-Bit format, in order to comply with IOS 11. This being said, these virtual villager/families games were a big part of my childhood on the PC and I love playing them today on IOS. I'd hate to see their performance impacted in any way because of an update. I know you guys are probably hard at work on Virtual Families 3, and honestly I probably have no idea how hard it is to update existing apps to run with Apple's system and all, and it's probably already been brought to your attention, but, just letting you know that these games are adored by so many people, and me included.

Willing to buy more, but not possible

I like these games, but I'm getting bored with the pace. In the Origins game it's very easy to buy additional pts and upgrade things to quicken the pace of things AND get an auto-double trait for point and food. Why did you take that away for VV 2 & 3??? Part 2: so, my people ran out of food, so I just restarted. Now I can't find the chalk board... I have everything else and thanks to some tips, I would be able to achieve a lot more.......the board isn't by the water (where it was the first time). Part 3: thank you everyone that gave clues to the puzzles...now I think I can actually accomplish something and have fun. However, it's crashing now... Every 5-ish minutes. Not cool.

Best!

This is by far my favorite of the series. I played it extensively a few years ago, and my sister and I actually finished most of the puzzles before we accidentally deleted the game. Now, if one troublemaking kid is bothering you, drag them to the top right corner of the screen in the ocean. I've noticed that they'll be trapped there and can't move. I have also found similar spots in some other VV/VF games, like on top of one of the toxic waste barrels in VF Our Dream House. But I love this installment and I personally think it plays the best.

Wow!!!!

I really enjoyed this on my iPhone. It was easy to handle and didn't always take up my time or give me notifications like other games. I use to play Virtual Villagers as a kid and I still love it! I actually completed this game (like all the puzzles) in about 3weeks, playing maybe 20 minutes per day, longer on some days. In my game, 30 people had died when I finished all the puzzles, just estimating a time.

Glitch
Fri Sep 09 2011 Cutie pi 101

I loved the first few games and enjoyed this one but when I was fixing the statue it stopped at the top of the hill. I tried to use all my different types of villagers to continue the repair but it didn't work no matter where I placed them. So I looked online for why it wouldn't work and found this happened to other people. Normally I'd give it two or three stars because I liked the other two games and because it was fun until the glitch but I didn't think three or two stars would make any impact in the rating. This don't happen to everyone who downloads it but you should keep it in mind.
