Overall, the cute graphics provide some charm, but the timed missions limit opportunities for players to fully appreciate the narrative.

While it incorporates elements of farming, it lacks depth and is not a true farming simulator, often disappointing players seeking a more traditional experience without social media integration.
“Everything is done from one screen and is a simple game of cooldowns, grinding, and the occasional clicking on a random event.”
“It's a clicker heavy farming type game, gets repetitive pretty quick.”
“If you're looking for an actual farming game, this is not it.”
