The grinding aspect of the game is generally viewed as tedious, particularly when pursuing higher achievements, with some players suggesting that the goals could be more attainable. While the game offers a chill, semi-idle farming experience with engaging mechanics, the necessity for extensive grinding, especially for achievements, may deter some players. Overall, it appeals to fans of farming and time management games, but the grind can feel endless.
“It's cute and good for a few hours, but trying to get the last achievement gets a bit tedious. I think perhaps a goal of 50 rainclouds is more attainable than 100, as if you want to get this in a legit manner, it just becomes an endless grind of potato harvesting.”
“Grinding awaits.”
“I did enjoy this sweet little relaxing farming game, and the achievements are very easy to obtain, but they are time-consuming.”

The gameplay is characterized by solid mechanics and a relaxing, engaging experience, making it a suitable timekiller. While it features enjoyable sprite graphics and calming music, it leans towards an idle game with unbalanced mechanics, where grinding for achievements is integral but can detract from active engagement.

“It is a very relaxing time killer with a simple game mechanic, enjoyable sprite graphics, and music that is able to calm down anything alive.”
“The gameplay loop is designed to have you engaged most of the time.”
“Grinding achievements: yes, but grinding is part of the gameplay.”
“I could've completed qbio much quicker by planting the fastest plants and then used that buff for the stars when harvesting, but doing that would've taken a lot of active gameplay in what's otherwise a mostly idle game.”
