Overall, the gameplay is well-received, with many players enjoying its variety, mechanics, and immersive experience.

- “Been playing this game for more than a year and it keeps on getting better and enjoyable every update; from the plot, graphics and designs to the gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is much more fun than I expected, and there are a variety of scenarios (albeit cliché, but still fun to read!) There aren't any annoying ads that pop up every minute or so, which makes it worthwhile to spend money on this game (for the sake of development!) I love this game, great job to the developers!”
- “I am very addicted to this game, I love the gameplay, story of each NPC, the random events.”
- “Also, the fishing mechanic is poorly made.”
- “I like the gameplay, but there is very few and repetitive dialogue, and the game crashes every couple of minutes if your Wi-Fi is on.”
- “Game ini punya potensi tapi gameplay-nya boring, terlalu repetitive hanya fokus ngebucin dan ngumpulin uang, kalau mau buat game yang berkualitas bisa contoh Stardew Valley, game-nya kompleks, map-nya luas, banyak easter eggs, tiap NPC punya cerita dan karakter yang unik dan gameplay-nya ga bikin bosan.”

grinding

Players have mixed feelings about the grinding aspect of the game. While some appreciate the nostalgic feel and the combination of farming, crafting, and dating sim elements, many find the grinding tedious and time-consuming, particularly criticizing the lengthy processes for simple tasks like watering plants and the limited rewards for effort. Overall, the game appeals to those who enjoy grinding, but it may frustrate others due to its repetitive nature and lack of engaging mechanics.
- “The game is good, but I don't like how the farming works because it doesn't make any sense. How can watering a single plant take 30 minutes? It's ridiculous. In real life, watering a plant should only take 5-10 minutes, and the longest is 15 minutes, just like removing weeds. Please consider this.”
- “The last tier jobs (rp45/hr) are quite hard to get, and that's okay, but it doesn't feel worth grinding for since it's only a rp5 increase. It makes the rp40/hour jobs, which are also easier to get, feel more valuable.”
- “The game is too grindy. Gifting to an NPC is hard because it only gives you 3 or 1 heart. Limit the 3rd heart stuff to 60/70 or raise the heart a little bit when the player reaches 2 hearts with those NPCs (not the ones you can date). It's boring when you just wait for your character to get exhausted.”
