The gameplay is enjoyable and visually appealing, but it suffers from repetitive clicking mechanics that can lead to physical discomfort during extended play sessions. Players have suggested the addition of an auto-pickup feature to alleviate this issue, while also noting a lack of clear information about game mechanics, such as villager behavior and resource management. Overall, the game has potential but could benefit from improvements in both comfort and clarity.
“It has a very cute art style that fits the gameplay perfectly!”
“If a mechanic is added to hold down left click and auto pick up a certain amount of crops per second, I think that would help a little bit better compared to clicking tens of thousands of times.”
“It's lacking in information, so you're left kind of winging it, but it would be nice to know the little villagers despawn, and they lose their tiny little AI brains when berry bushes are ready to harvest, which seems somewhat intentional and may have gameplay implications.”
“I really enjoyed this game as a concept, however, the gameplay, if I ended up playing for more than 20-30 minutes at a time, would really start to kill my hands and my forearm.”
