Overall Rating 6.5/10 Not really worth full price, but alright on a good sale. Clicker game, clearly meant to by on mobile (phones or tablets). On a computer monitor, the trees, shrubs, garden plots, animals, butterflies, animals and birds are all huge, and very busy. Your mouse cursor is TINY. No way to set the cursor to a larger size either. Once you have any amount of activity on screen, the cursor gets lost in all of the patterns and colors and movement on screen. So you click blindly, hoping to somehow magically click what you are hoping to click. It is CUTE. So if you want a cute time killer, this game may be for you. It does get repetative and somewhat boring after just a short while. Clearlly a mobile port to PC, and perhaps it should have stayed on mobile only. It would be a fine game for killing time while commuting or standing in line for concert tickets, or waiting for a doctor's appointment. But it is just too bland for really fun longplay PC time. Still, if you need cute in your life, and the game goes on sale for at least 50% or more, it isn't bad. No performance issues on a toaster, no crashing, no hitching, no sound issues. Just a TINY cursor you can't see on screen. Like I said, not a bad game. Just not a great game for all the hype it got when it released. Hesitantly recommending it to those who adore cute, those who really love clicker games and for kids and young teens. I am not sorry I bought it on a deep discount, I am just sorry I am not able to enjoy it more. Perhaps you may? If you are looking for something cute to kill time with on your phone or tablet, go get it from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. You may enjoy the game more there.

What players are saying
I really wish I could give this one a neutral rating or something, because it's certainly not a bad game, it's just not exactly good, either. I generally enjoy cute clicker games and this one comes with legitimately lovely graphics and music. The production value is very decent for a game of its price, and I had my time of clicking and looking and just generally enjoying the adorable atmosphere. The real issue is that even for a clicker game, you just don't get anything out of it. There is no sense of progression and no rewards for longterm play. I like seeing numbers go up, but even for a skinner box it feels barebones. No additional mechanics are introduced and no new exploration can happen. Once you've seen the basics, you've seen it all, because there is nothing really beyond basics. And for a non free to play game, that just feels too shallow. I think the developer is worthy of support and clearly knows how to make a cute, pleasing game, but it just ultimately fails at really being much of a game. Unless this gets some substantial expansion to the gameplay, I can't really recommend it as a purchase. Keep an eye on the developer, but definitely be critical with your purchase. With this game, you're not getting a whole lot even for the low price of admission.
