Amazing port, controller support would be better I've played don't starve since the beta! Love the game and being able to play it when I like on my mobile is amazing! The combat is a little awkward on the touch screen controls. I cannot suggest enough the Klei work on Co trolley support for this game. It would be a 5 out of 5 for me if that were the case.

Great Game but Sadly A Beautifully fantastic offline game. Quite enjoyable and will frequently play. Only sad part is it seems my longest lasting world may have corrupted data or something because when I try to get on it, it crashes my game. I can start a new world perfectly fine. If it fixes itself soon I would be happy to give a full five stars 😊. Overall great game

Its really is a offline game. I hate DRM locked game, it prevent for the tablet to be mobile. For what it was design for. Heck Nintendo coming out whit something like that and it alike tablet and might take from the tablet gaming money pools. So I say for the future of gaming on tablets it has be allowed to play for game to play offline. And this game has it. So I have it on PC, fun stuff just miss the last dlc whit pirates would be better, and on occasions when we have the internet for the tablet, play online or whit some locals close by. Be just an option whit no mandatory connection because of that. Love the game.

Incredibly addictive! Been playing on PS4 for two years now and I just had to have it for Android. Boots and plays very well on my Note 5. The virtual stick isn't terrible but a support for a physical controller should certainly be in the works, considering how easy it is to die in this game you need to be able to have easy control w/ character. Even the action buttons are difficult to control and can only be activated when close to an enemy or object. Does have a few bugs but nothing major. 4 stars until controller support.

Almost Good The graphics are great and frame rates stay steady with no dips in performance. The game itself is awesome and personally I am a huge fan. I have purchased this game on PC, PS4 and PS Vita. With limited access to a console or pc (PS Vita is too outdated) this was my last option to have a awesome game on the go to play. Let me start by saying the controls aren't horrible like others say. The buttons are fine, but the joystick needs improvement. If controller support was added, this game would be a 5 star.

Can't Get to Work I was so excited when I saw this. Bought it right away. Love it on PC - have all of them. But it won't work on my phone. Opens quickly to loading screen, then crashes within 20 seconds. One time got to Klei Entertainment screen then crashed. Phone is a LG-H345 with Android 5.1.1.

Please include the email address you use for your Google Play account so we can issue the refund. Fun game but.. It is a great game but it always crashes. In that occasion, the game joy stick works and my player can move around. However, the other game imputs such as inventory and action buttons doesn't work. And the worst thing is, i cannot save and i have to reset my progress. Please solve the issue thank you
Great game but... My brother has this game for ps4 and i loved it so i decided to buy the mobile version. Its just everytime I try to get on a recently created world it crahes. The game is very good but i want to request a update or something that will allow kids with cheaper phones to be able to play this game without crashing. But great game overall just needs a few fixes. I am not asking for a refund because i love dont starve but im just asking for a few fixes that may lead to the game not crashing or having bugs.
Good game, terrible controls Game is fun. It has everything the PC version has, but the mobile on-screen controller is terrible. The bad control got me killed twice because it misclicked. Sometime when you try to move your character with the joystick key, it select the object behind the joystick and attacks it.
Very few issues for such a large game 1. On ocassion, you can't do anything but walk. Unable to click anything you have to manually quit the game. Once you get back in, you have to continue from your previous save file (which is a huge pain). 2. When attempting to place an ice flingomatic, I see its range but am unable to place it. 3. "Examine" As interesting as my stone walls are, I really just want to access my chest NEXT TO said wall.
I loved it so far The only thing i found annoying was when my items were in the back of my inventory and lets say i tried too put logs into my fire pit it would count as me moving please move the virtual stick up a bit
Classic game made into a great port. I know how old don't starve is. It's pretty old. But somehow, this game never gets old, it has this incredible atmosphere that feels strange and creepy. Combining the atmosphere with the art style makes this game so perfect and fun. The only thing I'm waiting for is don't starve together: pocket.
I have this game on Vita and PS4. This is an amazing game but the controls on the phone are very wonky. The controls on the phone are horrid. When you harvest something, the character will immediately harvest the next nearby item. Also the directional pad is horrible. Great game, bad execution on mobile.
Great game but awkward controls I really enjoy this game but wished it had either controller support or better in game control. Specifically the movement is what I have a lot of trouble with. Most of the time the joystick doesn't respond to inputs or it jerks when you first try to move. Movement without the joystick works but I don't like having to click around the screen to move. Maybe implement a D-pad type option would be something I could see myself using. Would really like controller support tho
Frustrated Spent the money, did the download. Now it's saying game data missing additional download needed. Ok, fine. But then the download doesn't start. Either fix the problem or refund me. I don't enjoying paying for things that don't work.
The same as the desktop version! Great game. Super addictive, super frustrating. So pleased it isn't an abbreviated version of the original. And has the DLC included! Only wish you could zoom out to see more of your surroundings; the smartphone version, you only see your immediate area, unless you constantly open the map to see where you're going and what you've missed. Other than that, perfecto. Decent price, too.
Amazing! I can't believe I can finally play DS on the go! It takes a little bit to get used to the controls, I personally don't use the virtual stick, and I recommend you turning it off as well as it tends to get you killed... It crashes every now and then, but typically during loading a save, so I haven't lost any progress due a crash. I definitely recommend the download if you've enjoyed the PC version
Love it After hearing the virtual joystick mode wasn't great I bought the game anyway and disabled the function via settings. It's actually a great port- a full game not just a simplified mobile version, from what I can tell so far. It even came w/ the RoG DLC, making it a fantastic value. The multifunction aspect of items and interactions can be a bit tricky at times but still totally worth it. I play on a phone, so I think it's sort of unavoidable for such an in-depth game and something to adjust to.
Great game made into a handheld game! The only thing I got to say about it is that it's super clunky to play, as a don't stave player every minute counts and you need the controls to be very responsive, if not it's going to be of a hell of a run every time you try to play the game, other then that I love it that they put it on the tablets! Nice one guys!
I love this game! But... It is amazing, almost like the pc version, but there are only two main problems: it is hard to controll, especially with the backpack when you want to plant/drop trees or items or you want to place walls one next to another. Also when you are in herds of beefalo you can get killed because you hurt one while trying to use your controlls when a beefalo is in the same place as the controls on the screen and also, please, make it possible to use the bush hat, because it doesn't work. Thank you.
Still Some problems I was hoping the update would fix the crashing but it is still crashing and can you make a easier way to plant trees cause i have to drag the pine cone to like the top of my screen to plant it and just a few trees takes all day
Id love it if i could play it Love the game. But it constantly crashes. Please fix. Its a 5star game. Uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. It crashes on the home screen. I'd expect better, from a game you have to pay for. Still cant play it. Received an email from Klei, haventheard back

Please include the email address you use for your Google Play account so we can issue the refund. Legit the only game ever worth spending money on. I have this game on PC, and I love it. The Pocket Edition is the greatest. Now I can bring my addiction around with me. Only issue is a few bugs here and there, nothing major and I'm sure they will work them out in the close future.
Cloud Save Great game! I've never owned it on the PC even though I knew about it. It's pretty fun and I've sunk quite a few hours in. Learning curve is a bit difficult so I had to read some guides. My only gripe is that it doesn't have cloud save like the one in crashlands. That would've been perfect. When you switch your device you have to start all over.
Once I saw this on the market I knew automatically I was going to get it and love it. Its just like the pc version. I could spend hours playing this game. It helps when I'm at work and bored. Pop my phone out and play Don't Starve. I absolutely love this game.
Great! Havent played much of this yet but so far its a great move from pc to mobile. Played it allot on pc and its a great game. When i bought this i didnt think you would be able to customize your world but you can! Great game for mobile!
Great game, controls are crap Love this game but the controls really do suck. Having said that, it's really comes down to the limitations of a phone game and limited real estate to place a movement stick. Not much can be done about it.
Keeps crashing Game has very very frequent crashes, I can't even get far enough to make an axe. It always either crashes on loading or during play. Definitely some serious issues with this. Also, from the brief time I was able to even move around, I suggest to them that they support both keyboard and mouse input. It would be nice to be able to use that with a tablet while playing. Only giving 2 stars simply because I've played the PC versions and they're a blast. But they do need to fix the crashing issue pronto. Nexus 10 Android 5.1.1
Awesome, but a few of problems.. It's awesome! So happy I can play it on my phone/tablet since I don't have a computer at the moment, but the game is a tiny bit blurry, which hurts my eyes a bit, the joystick doesn't always work, for example, when I try to walk left, it'll take me right for a sec, and the inventory doesn't always work, like when I tap to put wood in a fire, it won't. Other than those problems, it's pretty good!
Great game. Having issues on Samsung Galaxy s7 where sound is slow and echoing. Tried u installing. Also would like to see tweaks to controls still looks. good and fun as ever. Edit: sound problem is with blue tooth
Great game (with bugs) It's an absolutely amazing game that I love playing but I found a bug where I can't even use the interface, just move and mess with the camra. Because of this my best world is doomed because I have a very low fire and it's very close to a rainy night.
Multiplayer? I love this game, it works beautifully and just like the computer version. But the one and only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the fact that it's only single player. Please, please, for the love of god, add multiplayer if its even possible. Its so much fun not starving, but it would be through the roof if and when you can add multiplayer. Even just local network is okay.
Right, I am going to have to take Klei Entertainment to court over this game. I started playing this game at work, in the restroom, as a way to pass time. Before you knew it, those few moments turned into hours in the restroom. I couldn't get my face, and mind, out of this game. Well, you can guess what happened. Right. I lost my job. Well, now I am getting divorced. I sort of neglected to tell my wife I lost my job. I just continued to go to work every morning, as if nothing was wrong. I would sneak around town as if I was having an affair, looking for places to play this game where no one would see me, and tell my wife. Still, she found out. Oh, and how my wife found out. The bank has started the process of foreclosing on our house. Sort of happens when you don't pay the mortgage for a couple of months. Sort of had to tell her why I couldn't pay the house payments. Do you think she was okay with it? Not a chance! She broke my phone! After that, and this may have been her breaking point here, I pawned all her jewelry in order to by a tablet with a very LARGE screen just so I could play this game. Yep, someone needs to pay!
Screen size Great game, I love it, my only two issues is it's laggy/slow and could you add a setting so you can adjust the screen size sorta like console edition so it fits my screen better
Good game. Not so good controls Instead of having a joystick, i think you should just hold down on the screen in the direction of your choosing and tap to interact with objects
Great Game Played on the xbox and now I can play anywhere. Some lag when too many things are happening but overall I haven't experienced any crashes. Although the controls may not be the best I still think it's very fun and a nice challenge.
Resolution issue Unplayable. First 3 time I played it was great. Since then the resolution is stretched and zoomed in. Reinstalled it twice to no avail. Very fun game. Please fix. Using Galaxy s7 edge.
Keeps lagging.. Right now its raining in my game and forget it too much lag! 7$ well spent..
Addicting!!! My insomnia finally has a purpose. Amazing game overall. A bit of a problem on controls but not too bad. Please please add shipwrecked soon. Thumbs Up For This Amazing Game 👍👍👍
4 Stars because the controls are broken Great game! It's just frustrating to have to restart the game because sometimes controls freeze
