Tiny Terraces

🌿 Tiny Terraces Review 🌱

Tiny Terraces is an amazing farming game and I’ve been absolutely loving my time with it. For a game in Early Access, there is already a lot to do and it feels pretty complete, aside from some extra touches that could be added later, such as more decorative options. I’m a huge fan of the art style, it’s bright, colourful, and full of charm. The little fellas running around and helping out are adorable and really bring the game to life. I also really enjoy the changing weather, especially the rain, which helps water your crops, along with the lovely sound effects throughout.

One feature I really appreciate is how flexible the screen options are. You can play it fullscreen, at the bottom of your screen, or even docked to the side, you can set it up exactly how you like, which is perfect for an idle-style game.

There is such a great variety of crops to grow, with loads of vegetables and fruits available. You can also grow trees, and I’ve made myself a lovely orchard for them all. Crops can be sold for money or used to complete tasks to unlock more content. On top of that, you can turn your produce into juices, jams, and cooked dishes. The recipe book is very helpful, and there’s also a journey menu which tracks the plants you’ve unlocked, achievements, information about your little fellas, and overall stats like total harvests and items sold ect.

Speaking of the fellas, they are super adorable. There are lots of different colours, and you can upgrade them as they level up by spending points on things like movement speed or how many items they can carry at once.

You’ll unlock plenty of machines too, such as juice barrels, cooking pots, windmills, and ovens. These let you turn your grown products into higher-value items to sell. There are also bees, which produce different types of honey depending on where you place them. You can unlock cute little animals as well, there are three types so far, but I’ll let you discover those yourself. Fish traps are another nice addition.

I really love having a free grid to design my terrace exactly how I want. You unlock more space by chopping down trees, and even after unlocking quite a lot already, it still feels like there’s plenty more room to expand. The building space is very generous, which is fantastic. There’s also a good selection of decorations to use.

I have come across a couple of small bugs. Occasionally, when waiting for an animal egg, a little fella will hold it up for you to collect, but sometimes no matter where I clicked, I couldn’t collect it. Restarting the game fixed this. Another minor issue is with tool keybindings, sometimes the toolbar doesn’t register that a tool has been turned off, which led to me accidentally chopping down a tree. I found it easier to just click tools directly on the toolbar instead.

One thing I’d love to see added is more pathing or flooring options. I mostly use the “bag of dirt” as ground cover, even though it’s meant for crops (you can plant flowers on it, which helps hide the dirt). I’d really love more decorative flooring options like grass, sand, different dirt types, or even wooden flooring to give it more of a terrace feel. More decorations would also be wonderful, things like animal pens for decoration, benches, tables, chairs, and more varieties of planted flowers.

Overall, this is an amazing game for anyone who enjoys idle games, especially farming games. There’s a lot of content here and it’s absolutely worth every penny. Even though the game is currently in Early Access, it already feels very polished, smooth, and well put together. The developer clearly cares about the game and regularly releases fixes and updates, which is always reassuring to see. There’s also an iOS version planned for release soon, which is very exciting. I love this game and would 100% recommend it. For achievement hunters, the achievements are very fair, some take time, but it’s all about patience, which suits an idle game perfectly.

Happy farming, fellas! 🥕🧺

I 100% cleared this game.
Not recommended in its current state. Maybe after full release I will update.
-Too many bugs (minor bugs everywhere)
-Bad optimization (Sometimes gets to 15fps late game with 200+ pals)
-Takes too much resources from the PC when its supposed to be a background chill game.

found this game thru yt shorts and instanly fell in love with the pixelated graphics, been grinding it for days, would reccomend playing while fried. waiting for the underground update.
