Honest review of Dojo Islands (beta version)

The game is overall pretty fun. It's kinda like Minecraft but less advanced but just as addicting.

Here's basically how the game works: You're on this island that's tropical and has a bunch of detail and hiding spots. This is why there's a specific place for counting for hide and seek on the island. There is also a building zone where you can build, duh. It's like a 100x100 block area of sand but the issue is that the height limit is 10 blocks but it's still really fun. Something that can be pretty annoying is when you're trying to build a building and you have to make a ceiling. Here’s why it's annoying: You can only place blocks under you which means you have to be in the air to place a ceiling block. How you get around this is by being on the walls of your building and being like 60-70% off the block without falling and then placing it.

It sounds easy but you can accidentally fall several times and if you have to build a large ceiling it will take 10-50 minutes depending on your skill level. The 4 most notable stuff on the island is the stage where you can do stuff to an audience of your friends, the totally useless campsites that’s main purpose is probably to extend the island and have more hiding spots, a maze that’s pretty easy, and a massive arch that you can climb for fun and it’s semi challenging if you don’t use AI pathfinding. Ai pathfinding (The best known thing to man) is where you click on a block of the island that you can see and you can go there without doing anything, It can solve the maze like it's nothing, If you want to climb up the arch you can use it to get up there by just clicking twice. One to get 50% up and the other to get all the way up.

And finally “The glitch”. The glitch is if you play with your friends for about 10 minutes everyone becomes frozen and anything you build won't be saved. That’s basically the main idea of the game so here’s some lists and the final rating.

5 Pros:

  1. A new fun game

  2. You can show your creativity

  3. You can hang out with your friends on it

  4. The island itself and its features

  5. Excitement for future updates

5 Cons:

  1. 10 block height limit

  2. Can get crazy if many people can join (from experience)

  3. Placing ceilings

  4. “The glitch”

  5. Not much things you can do yet

3 best hiding spots:

  1. An island on the west side of the map you can parkour to near the campsites

  2. Behind the big stage

  3. In a tunnel on the island

Overall rating of the game:

8/10
