It’s beautiful and made me actually enjoy mobile gaming for once but at one point the progression really slows down and so I haven’t picked it up again in months now. Maybe I’ll come back to it at some point.
Cute and fun to start, but progression felt to slow to really hook me.
It looks great, is making me nostalgic, is clearly made with love and I like the idea behind it but something irks me about it. The way the menu looks and the way it’s managed is not great. Often times when you’re interacting with objects, you get the menu where you have to click buttons (or touch screen) all the time. The menus also look tiny and weird on an iPad Pro 12.9 inch but that might be the case because landscape mode was added later.
Even though cozy/farming games normally gradually give you more options, the way it’s presented here is very demotivating. There are tons of things you can interact with and you’re always told you can’t because you’re missing the materials. It’s like looking through a glass wall. I’d rather not be shown those objects right away and gradually introduced over time.
What was also annoying was the fact that everything regenerates super quickly. I cleaned the garden by picking up the bushes and they’re back and many a couple of seconds later. How am I going to keep the garden pretty and clean?
Maybe I’m just not getting it and the game wants to do certain things differently but I don’t feel like playing more based on what I saw.

It feels like being stuck on a treadmill to me. Graphics and music are cute, but nor having a way to direct the goals I want to achieve made me tire of it pretty quickly.
Like a cross between Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, paired down a little for mobile. While it is slightly limited in size, having a little less than either game, it more than makes up for it by being mobile and easy to pick up and play in short chunks. You play day by day fixing your farm, meeting towns folk and repairing the town, it plays out in seasons each containing some unique content. I really enjoy the big compendium you fill out for completion, letting you see what's coming next. The only real complaint I have is that not quite everything is taught to you in the games tutorial, most of all how to quick select tools.
