The game is sized wrong, unless it was made for phones or something. The game aspect is really simplistic, and it forces your actions most of the time, but it does cover a few of the basic economic principles in a way that keeps your attention, unlike Econ 101, which I slept through. (1 hr of sleep vs 1 hr of listening to a droning professor was hardly even a choice!) Not bad.
Reviews for "Economics Island"
It was interesting but there was a lot of text to read. The game also only takes up half the page.
I wish the text could go faster on its own without the need to press X all the time. Using more pictures (besides graphs) would also get the message through faster.
Not bad for a first game.
"Nothing personnal Gorilla, but i have to leave."
"ARRRRRRRRH"
"Don't arr on me, i could have eaten you. Bye !"
"ARRRRRRRRH !"
And here he goes, alone on his raft...and start to starve just 3 hours later.
Conclusion : "ARRRRRRRRH" means "Bring coconuts on your raft, idiot !"
I need help for day 19, it's a good game
Great change of pace around here. Not a lot of economics here. I took AP Macro and Micro and this was refreshing.
