Description
Help restore the world to an ecologically balanced state in this open-world puzzle and survival game – while learning some computational thinking along the way! The Pack is set in Algos, a future world where healthy ecosystems have faltered, water and food are scarce, and it’s up to you and your Pack to help fix the environment.
You find yourself waking up in a barren land where the only way to bring balanced life back is to replenish water sources and find varied seeds that are scattered all over the world! You can’t do it alone, and can’t stray too far from water, so you and a “Pack” of helpful creatures set out on an adventure across Algos.
Throughout the game, you must find food sources to attract your own Pack made of local Algos creatures with special skills that will help you in your new environment. These creatures have functions like digging, moving, holding, grabbing and bumping, skills that will help you collect seeds and bring water to dry areas. When your Pack has more than one type of creature, you can combine them in a sequence (also known as an algorithm) to perform complex tasks and overcome challenges. Learning and mastering how to use these algorithms is the key to finding all of the seeds and restoring harmony to Algos!

albert randy,
good game
well made and great theme. the characters reek of hard work
MobileSBO,
Cute, fun, relaxing!
My son and I love playing this game together! It’s so relaxing and challenging in just the right ways. We can build and try out different algorithms to solve the problems, like how to find and gather a seed that is out of reach. I’m drawn to the idea of restoring natural land much more than the other simulation games out there, which seem to mostly be about buildings and war.
It could use some improvements with the controls—tap & drag is how you move AND how to move the algorithms around. There are some weird glitches like how the water sometimes stacks and doesn’t spread, and there’s a significant lag in water movement and land re-greening. I would totally pay for this game if someone made improvements!

Needs a little more guidance
I've been playing this for a few days now-- apparently I added too many creatures to my pack and I don't have room for any new ones. I did not know this was possible as it wasn't presented at any time during the game. I like the game, but I don't have an unlimited amount of time to figure every single thing. I do not know how to have a creature leave the pack, or if this is even necessary. I don't know if I make more land, will I be able to add a creature without getting rid of any? Or is there something I'm missing? Love the game, but in any case I just don't have hours and hours to spend trying to figure out what to do-- it's probably very simple but I don't know what it is, making the game more frustrating than fun at this point. I understand we're supposed to figure it out, but maybe make it a little less completely 100% vague, knowing that people can't live on their phones. I have an actual garden and wildlife habitat I need to tend to IRL, so I'll probably have to quit this game because its taking too much real time, spending two hours trying to figure out how to add to the Pack. Nice concept, but more clues/guidance would be helpful.
I've never played games like Minecraft or anything. Maybe the developer is assuming most players have, but as a naturalist this game appealed to me because of the ecological theme, so I went in blind.

Tmgtenor,
Great game! Beautiful and creative!
This is a wonderful game for my kids, but I wound up loving it as well! The algorithms are a great way to get kids thinking. Great job!
I’m not sure how to reach the developer, but it does eventually dead end with somebody telling you to plant a forest no matter how many trees you plant. Maybe that’s just the end of the game?

Biosethereal,
I don’t usually write reviews especially bad ones but...
Let me start by saying the game is AMAZING. The idea is amazing, graphics everything awesome.
Ok now for the venting rant. I want to love this game but it crashes CONSTANTLY! Every 5 minutes or less. As soon as you have a pack of more than 2 or 3 it crashes to the point of unplayable. I had it crash so hard once it never recovered and I had to fully reset my game and start from scratch. After that I figured it was the plethora of AI, so I trimmed how many where in my pack to just one of everything. Nope, still crashes constantly. I get that the environment and, the AI are taxing on an iPod 7 but this is ridiculous. If they can figure out how to make it not crash every 3-5 minutes I would LOVE this game. I’m hoping they have it for PC or something that can handle the processing power that this game needs. But for now, I’ll just wait for some serious updates.

Simple and relaxing
I love this game because the graphics are appealing and smooth (and cute!). The concept is nice and after reading the “app of the day” article I realize it is basically a time consumer. I think the movement and goal vagueness is intentional to get kids to use their minds to figure out what to do and have them waste more time on the app just doing that. I think I finished the game because my friend keeps saying that we need water and try planting new things but stays in the same spot when I do. The map is mostly complete so I am proud of my work! I like how this game is easy to stop in the middle and pick right back up again.

No Way to Contact Developers
Hi...You’re game is really cute and definitely has potential. There are a few problems, starting with...
1) you have no contact method, anywhere. If I find a bug, who do I tell? If I have a suggestion, where does that go?
2) Settings. Seriously, not everyone is going to be comfortable with any particular movement mechanic. I, personally, would like virtual joysticks with this game. It’s much nicer, imho, to be able to move freely in all directions while still being able to see the screen.
3) Hotkeys/Hotbar. Once you’ve created an algorithm, the only way to access it is to open the Create Algorithm screen, drag the already saved/named algorithm and then go back to the environment to use it. If saved/named algorithms were also in a hotbar across the top of the screen, i could use them in the situation without breaking focus on the environment.
I like good educational apps....please give us some way to help you make this one great.

Science Teacher Says Thumbs Up
As a middle school science teacher, I would say that The Pack is simple, yet challenging. I have been playing for a few months and will now introduce it to my students.
The game will support my students in their understanding of algorithms and computational thinking as they use creatures to create algorithms and solve problems in Algos.
The Pack’s themes fit into several of my learning units such as scientific inquiry and ecology. I’m interested to see how the game enhances their engagement and understanding of patterns, cause and effect, scale, porportion, and quantity etc..

CalculatorCat,
Solid, but simple.
A wonderful completely free game for someone looking to get into algorithmic thinking.
The controls are kinda wonky but you get used to them.
My big issue is that I can’t seem to find any sort of conditionals, loops, or ANY branching logic. Which means all my guys can only chop down trees without bringing the supplies back when they’re full, etc etc. there’s an achievement that makes it seem you can achieve this functionality but I watered most of the end map (chasing the other person around dropping a lake I siphoned up earlier on because running around the desert is a joke), and it seems the game is at an end, and I’ve found no way to make my algorithms meaningful.
If that makes any sense to the developers, thank you. For anyone else reading this review, this game is a good afternoon’s investment - completely free. Go for it !

twoshorts6y,
I really like this app
The only reason it isn’t getting five stars is because of a bug in the game.
At the end of my game the little dude I’m supposed to be following around stops and asks for water in the area, so I provide water, then he asks me to plant stuff so I do that too, and finally he says let’s keep exploring, but he doesn’t keep exploring. Instead he stands there and asks me to plant more things and after I do so, he says let’s keep exploring but he is still in the same spot.
