Ratings and reviews

It's nice to see a Indian game development studio make something other than Pubg or GTA clones. This game is fricking beautiful man. The artwork the music all of it is really good. Please keep working on it. But there are few flaws in the game, Frist I think the character speed is a little slow, it's takes a lot of time get from one place to another. Adding a sprint button may help this but it shouldn't be too fast. Also the UI needs some improvements and there are few bugs and glitches

Enjoyed the experience and gameplay. Artwork is superb. It was also very easy and intuitive to play without a tutorial. I liked that the gameplay pace could be managed by personal preference to play actively or passively. Would have liked ability to perform multiple actions on screen via tapping (eg. Watering 3 different plants or plucking 2 different flowers) without having to move character each time.

I enjoyed this game so much. Love the simplicity and the vibe, also the artwork There are just some issues with the controls, sometimes my character moves on its own, sometimes it doesn't when prompted. Also would love to have many job options or continuous tasks from the villagers that rewards sums of money. Would also want to improve the story line 😁
