The monetization strategy of the game is largely praised for being non-intrusive and optional, allowing players to choose when to watch ads for in-game rewards without feeling pressured. While some users appreciate the cute presentation of ads and the absence of forced advertisements, there are concerns about occasional glitches and the effectiveness of daily rewards. Overall, players feel they can enjoy the game without spending money, although some express a desire for more ways to earn in-game currency without relying on ads.
“The game is fantastic, even before purchasing the homecoming expansion, which doesn't feel shoved in your face like other in-app purchases in games I've played.”
“There's no ads unless you specifically say yes to them, and you will always get something in return.”
“I'm playing this game for so long, like 2 years, and the game is perfect... you can customize your house, talk with characters, buy things, farm carrots and pumpkins and melons and more. The game does not feel boring to me at any time... relaxing, cozy, music is awesome, and the characters are so cute... and the monthly events, oh loving... yes, there are some in-app purchases, but if you don't want to buy, you are not forced to; you can enjoy the game without spending a single penny... thank you ❤”
“Daily rewards don't work often, which is really disheartening, as carrots are hard to come by without ads, and items cost way too much.”
“Includes ads that use fake 'system update' popups, or some ads have 3 different windows you have to each watch 'time out' and find the tiny exit button for one ad, making misclicks exceptionally easy. Hyper Beard is big enough to do better on choosing its advertisers or ads.”
“Absolutely nothing to do, except watch ads or buy carrots, which are both just giving the developer money.”

The game's story is described as charming and cute, with interesting characters and a cozy atmosphere, but many players feel it lacks depth and direction, often leading to frustration due to slow progression and numerous bugs. While some appreciate the slice-of-life storytelling and character interactions, others criticize the limited quests and repetitive gameplay, suggesting a need for more engaging content and clearer narrative progression. Overall, the aesthetic appeal and character backstories are praised, but the lack of substantial storylines and frequent glitches detract from the experience.
“I'm so glad I installed this game! I just entered the game like an hour ago and I'm totally in love with the art style, vibe, melody, and storyline. Thanks for this game!”
“I especially enjoy the darker undertones to the story and the little easter eggs referencing real events.”
“I love how all the characters have their own story and background, and of course their own personality and lines they like saying.”
“The only thing to do in this game is spend carrots and decorations; there is no point, no story to follow. It's like reading the morning newspaper in the stock market page.”
“There is very little to no drive or story once you unlock Ratthew's bar.”
“The game itself is a tad bit boring, following very little storyline, but the aesthetic appeal it gives me sums up the fact giving this a solid 5-star review.”

The gameplay is generally described as simple and relaxing, making it suitable for casual play, though some users feel it lacks depth and meaningful interactions.

If you are looking for a casual relaxing game, then this is your choice.”
“The gameplay of fishing is just wait, tap on the screen, repeat.”
“Unfortunately, after introducing scenes with other characters, the game feels so boring (precisely at the gameplay).”
“Pretty game but there's absolutely no gameplay.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, primarily due to limited activities like farming and fishing, which quickly become repetitive. Many express a desire for more engaging content and interactions, as the current options lead to a sense of boredom and a lack of meaningful progression. While some enjoy the decorating and social elements, the overall sentiment is that the game could benefit from additional activities and a more rewarding grinding system.
“The farming system can be frustrating.”
“This is the most boring game ever. The art style is very cute, but besides that, there's nothing to do in the game at all. I played for an hour and couldn't find anything to do. Farming carrots went from waiting for a minute to an hour, and fishing was fast at first, but after a few times, I had to wait for an entire minute to get the cheapest fish. I could do literally anything else with my life and it would be more fun than this.”
“After 3/4 days, I've had enough of fishing, farming, and talking.”
