I will be honest. I only got this game because I saw the developer on TikTok and thought I'd help a guy out. But, once I started playing it I couldn't stop. It's a fun little addictive game! I very much enjoyed it. Challenging enough to keep you engaged, but not so much that it's not relaxing for lack of better word. If he adds to this little gem, I'm totally in!

Not gonna lie, this game came to my attention because the developer posted on TikTok saying no YouTubers were covering it and I felt like I had to do something about that. The Big PSA Real quick — this is NOT a true idle game . You can leave it running and earn some energy passively, but you cannot complete it AFK. You gotta actually play. Just wanted to get that out there first. The Vibe What it IS is a genuinely cozy, no-pressure experience. You're washing ash off a dead planet trying to bring it back to life. There is way more depth here than it looks like at first glance: [*] A solid upgrade tree [*] A garden mechanic [*] Hidden machines & collectibles One developer made this whole thing. ONE person. For $4.99. The Verdict Pros: Incredibly relaxing, great progression, amazing value. Cons: My only complaint is I wanted WASD movement when zoomed in and it's not there. Not a dealbreaker, but my hands wanted it. Score: 8/10 If you like relaxing cozy games, skip a Starbucks this week and grab this instead. If you want to see the full gameplay before buying, I did a deep dive review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxv8l2bV8Qc

TL;DR: The Greenening is an innovative addition to the short incremental games genre, where most new releases lack player agency. It took me 2-2.5 hours of active gameplay to finish the game and get all the achievements . Although certain parts were frustrating, I enjoyed my time with it very much. In the game, your aim is to make your surroundings green in each level, and as you proceed, additional progression mechanics unlock, and things get harder . The best part about the game is that it actually requires active player input to progress; it is not one of those incremental games that "you win no matter what as long as you keep playing." The level of player agency in The Greenening is carefully crafted, I would say. If you have played Digseum before, this is a game that builds on what Digseum has introduced . Mindlessly clicking is never enough; you need to carefully target dark areas and reveal the elements hidden within them to progress faster. On top of this, after the second or third level, you start solving the problem that caused everything to go dark and need greening in the first place, which is a nice touch of narrative. At the end of the game, you encounter a really challenging boss fight , requiring both planning and execution, and some grinding. It was a really nice touch at the end to seal the game. In short, even if you are not into short incrementals, this would be a nice starting point , and if you already do, do not sleep on this; it is one of the best short incrementals released recently, and is worth every penny.

One dev? ONE DEV?! How dare you be this talented. Listen. I bought this game expecting a cute little cloud simulator. What I got was an emotional journey where I, a floating cotton ball with attitude, single-handedly fixed a dead planet. No pressure. The Greenening is absurdly relaxing. You float, you rain, you turn grey wastelands into a botanical orgy. The music makes you feel like you're having a spa day in space, while the idle mechanics sneakily hook into your brain like "just one more upgrade... okay maybe ten more". And get this – it's made by ONE PERSON. Erik, if you're reading this: who hurt you? And also, thank you. This game has no right to be this polished, this charming, and this addictive. If you like nature, chill vibes, or pretending you're saving the planet because real life is too complicated – buy this. Your inner child will hug you. Your stress will leave. Your plants will finally understand you. 10/10 would rain on dead rocks again. Waiting for second part! :D
