The game currently suffers from significant optimization issues, particularly as players expand their simulations with more complex elements, leading to noticeable performance drops. Many users express a desire for an optimization update to enhance gameplay experience, as current performance limitations cap the potential for growth based on hardware capabilities. Despite these concerns, players still enjoy the game and are hopeful for improvements.
- “I still really enjoy it and highly recommend it, I would just like to see the performance issues fixed.”
- “At the moment, I believe this game needs an optimization update, as currently the more complicated plants can start to degrade the performance of the simulation.”
- “I do like the concept of the game and I think I could easily put 10-20+ hours in if it weren't for some performance issues.”
- “The only 'con' is that performance drops off dramatically as you get bigger, so there's a sort of cap on how big you can get based on your hardware.”

The gameplay is characterized by its simple controls and mechanics that allow for both casual enjoyment and deeper complexity as players explore various subtle features. The combination of captivating visuals and satisfying sound design enhances the relaxing experience, while the game encourages creativity through its sandbox elements. However, it may require a powerful computer for optimal performance.
- “There's a lot of little things that you can learn as you play or by reading the in-game guide that will teach you how to keep using these simple mechanics to build something beautiful and complex.”
- “The graphics are simple yet effective and nice to look at, the sound design is equally simple and not a sore on the ears, and the gameplay, while also simple, manages to be captivating, satisfying, and relaxing.”
- “The controls are very simple and so are the mechanics once you learn them.”
- “It's so simple, but can also be as complex as you'd like with mechanics like vines, aquatic plants, the spider, fruit, white leaves, etc. Currently, it does require a pretty beefy computer to get a nice framerate (I had to crank the settings down on big plants with a Ryzen 2700X and AMD 6700XT), but other than that, the game's style is consistent and fun, even allowing for color palette swaps.”
- “I would recommend this game to anyone who likes artistically simplistic but extremely in-depth sandbox gameplay.”

The graphics of the game are described as simple yet effective, providing a visually pleasing experience without demanding high-end hardware. However, players have reported significant frame rate drops when managing a large number of nodes, even at lower settings, indicating potential performance issues in more complex scenarios. Overall, the graphics align with the game's basic design philosophy, focusing on accessibility rather than realism or high action.
- “The graphics are simple yet effective and nice to look at. The sound design is equally simple and not a sore on the ears, and the gameplay, while also simple, manages to be captivating, satisfying, and relaxing.”
- “I'm not sure if this is a problem other people are having with the game, but when I have more than 40 nodes, I start to notice a significant drop in FPS even when lowering available graphics settings.”
- “Just keep in mind this is a very basic game, no high-action, no difficult puzzles, no photo-realistic graphics (runs on a toaster, as long as you have 64-bit Windows 10 and meet minimum specs), no extreme challenges.”
