The grinding aspect of the game is generally viewed as tedious and time-consuming, particularly when pursuing achievements, which can lead to player fatigue. While the game offers a relaxing and charming experience, especially for fans of idle farming games, the repetitive nature of harvesting and the slow progression can detract from the overall enjoyment for those seeking a more dynamic gameplay experience. Players appreciate the game's aesthetics and simplicity, but many note that the grind can feel excessive, especially for completionists.
“Getting the last few achievements was very tedious, and now that I've got them all, I'll likely never play this again.”
“If you aim for a light play, this might be it, but if you want to try everything the game has to offer, you are in for a grindy and difficult experience.”
“Progression stops fairly quickly, and the achievements are rather grindy (particularly the 10k plants/10k water ones).”

Reviewers suggest that enhancing replayability could be achieved through the introduction of varied islands or difficulty levels, as well as implementing achievements that encourage players to explore different strategies and focus on specific products or crops. These additions would significantly increase the game's longevity and engagement.
“Having either different islands or just different difficulties would help mix it up and make it replayable; achievements that require you to focus on particular products, crops, or strategies would add a lot of life to the game.”
“That would give it some replay value.”
