I like my idle games. I like my time sinks. My AFK games. This felt like someone started to make one, and then abandoned it. Don't misunderstand, I've enjoyed short idle games before. But this one just.. felt lackluster. There was nothing to do. Nothing to collect. Even the achievements were barebones of just reaching level 50 and nothing else. I even ran out of things to buy long before reaching level 50, just log in, collect the experience, log out.

What players are saying
Really cute and relaxing tiny idle game, you have your own farm where taking care of your farm animals, you level up fishing, cooking, farming, wood cutting and crafting, you can also decorate your own cute tiny home.
I'm not sure what the other reviews are talking about when it comes to high replayability or good depth. Although I must admit that the start was enjoyable and different from other idle games. Getting your firest worker was actually satisfying, but once you have a worker on every field, that's basically it. You can just sit back and relax, come back ocasionally to sell stuff and buy a worker here and there. But the progression is super linear, every new unlock-able is just 1 gold worth more then the previous, there is no escalation progression and you don't unlock anything new at all that changes the game. I am well aware that the game just entered early access and it's super cheap. But right now it needs a lot more then the basic foundation it has now to actually keep people hooked for more then an hour. I'll leave the game open a bit more to see if anything changes, but I believe that this is basically it. The road-map also seems like it'll add a bit more depth, so I'll hope to come back to this game one day and see if I can flick the review to positive.
