i can play just about any puzzle game and be entertained for hours, regardless of quality. but this? this is rough. almost unconceptually so. if you like harvest moon, you can play as 1 of 12 harvest moon characters. really great start. and then the game is just... nothing. it could be a thoughtful planting strategy game, but it's too short, so everything gets thrown out the window. your items are constantly full with the same useless shit. i usually end up being unable to plant anything, but you can pick other people's crops (by rubbing your ds screen with the stylus so much that it's the first time i've really had issues with it) and win anyways. could be adapted into a fun turn-based board game though. and i really like farming

I've played a lot of bad DS games. I've played a lot of bad puzzle games. This is the worst of both of them. The main mechanic of having to grow and harvest crops on a shared plot is cool and having to time things so another player doesn't steal your work is fun, but the game is completely ruined by the final part of each match. The plot gets filled with crops, and you harvest them by scribbling over the DS screen as fast as possible. If this was just a short bonus or only added a few points, it would be fine, but the overwhelming majority of any player's score is going to come from this mode. You can just not play the game until the end, flail the stylus over the DS's screen, and win just off of those points. I've never seen a game invalidate itself as completely as this did.

Yes I'm tearing apart DS shovelware nobody can stop me.
