It's quite nice, isn't distracting like other desktop toys can be because the animations are subtle, plus the gameplay really is just mostly click plant and harvest then appreciate pretty art and numbers go up as you unlock more tiles. It's just a nice "desk toy" to have so far while working on things because it's not really distracting. For those on the fence about it because it doesn't feel much of a game, is worth trying out the demo. I was hesitant too til I tried it out. There's also a "plant all" button in the main game versus the demo in case that becomes a gripe. I do wish that there'll be more of a gamification with the unlocking of things though, like idk make a group of 4 of a certain plant to make a special version of that plant? Or unlock certain plants if they're beside each other as a form of "breeding"? Would allow for the not so distracting to be maintained, but at least gives more gameplay. I feel like the blocks would be a great way to use as a "timer tool" too. If only a selected block could be opted to be always showing its timer. I'm also not sure if the decoration blocks with their boosts work even if they're hidden. LIke do they apply to all blocks, do they need to be present in the garden, do they only apply to adjacent blocks(?) I really can't tell :)) So far I just muted all sounds from the game as the popping sounds can be distracting especially for the 1 minute blocks, and the music can be repetitive. But it's also pretty nice to turn on every now and then. Is relaxing.

This one is simply perfect. It's an idle game enjoyable to the eye, very quickly maintainable (one click to harvest all, one click to plant all), customizable and really cheap. It's really simple to use, every block placement is customizable and you have the warehouse to put away what you don't need. I played the demo and they reduced the difficulty in the released game so that was a nice surprise. Also you can hide your garden in one click and you have that really useful design that says how many plants have grown while the garden is hidden (to unlock that design you have to buy once the first decoration that cost one flower). I really recommend this one if you are into cute idle games or are looking for a cute design evolving on the side while you work.

I discovered this game the same day it was gonna release its full version, I downloaded the demo probably not expecting much except your typical desktop and/or farming game. Well, after an hour I was basically hooked, I had qualms with the game but it was genuinely enjoyable and relaxing and a neat little thing. I was counting down the hours, minutes even, till this thing dropped its full release. When I bought it? it was even better than the demo, the qualms I had in the demo were all basically gone in the full release and I've already dumped 10 hours in this game that I've only owned for a few days. Whether I'm using discord, web browsing, watching youtube, any of the sort, I like to keep this game open. Sometimes I will even open it while I'm doing nothing just to turn my brain off for a bit and look at the nice little virtual garden I've grown. I also have to mention, the choice of isometric camera angle is extremely satisfying for this type of game, I especially love arranging my garden blocks in a way that they look like they have depth or height to them. Its kinda slow for the first hour but past that point things kinda kick off. I know I've locked my fair share of garden squares just because I grew some cat plants lol. Very fun game, nice cozy thingy to leave open on your desktop.

quickest purchase i've ever made upon news of release, after trying the demo for 1 week (usually i think over inexpensive purchases for hours/days) Note: demo save is not transferable to full game
