The gameplay of "Idle Plant" is characterized by a mix of clicker and idle mechanics, but it suffers from poor mechanics and a lack of intuitive design, making it frustrating for players. While the changing seasons and unique plant types add some depth and variety, the absence of a tutorial and confusing user interface detracts from the overall experience. Despite its charm and potential, many players find it less engaging compared to other idle games, often leading to periods of inactivity that hinder progress.
- “The inclusion of changing seasons that affect resource availability adds an extra layer of depth to the gameplay experience.”
- “In addition, each plant type has its own mechanics which adds variety.”
- “New mechanics with multiple 'paths' to play through really makes this quite an enjoyable experience.”
- “Edit: played more and having a 2-hour segment where you can't do anything because all resource gains are reduced to 0.25x, making it impossible to sustain any growth is a terrible mechanic.”
- “Unintuitive mechanics with a hidden help section, blatantly missing UX features, like dude, if you have a menu with elements that are bigger than a screen, maybe have the scrolling work?”
- “It's not bad, but the UI makes it actively annoying to play, and the lack of depth combined with the emphasis on short play sessions means I can't even get into an addiction phase before relaxing into an idle phase of gameplay.”
