I love this game! The developer is awesome. <3 The new update made it easier to play without having to constantly move the map back and forth. I have gotten frustrated with the new re-center button being right next to the others because I keep hitting it by accident. I wish the plants could mature while offline so I wouldn't have to keep my screen on all the time.

Thank you for the feedback! I just added zoom + rotation + tilt controls in the version coming out today. Can you let me know if that makes it nicer for you? šŸ’œ Thanks for the center button. I've updated it in the beta and it'll go out in the next update!

I love this game, and highly recommend it! It is cozy and engaging, and is the least stressful game ever. There's no timer, the stuff that drops doesn't despawn or need immediate attention, and even the weeds that pop up aren't shown as a failure as they're needed for achievements. There are ads if you want extra stuff, but half the time the "ads" are actually mini breathing exercises by the game, which I really appreciate. I love it, no notes!

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review Alixx! I'm glad you're enjoying the meditation "ads" as a thank you for choosing to support my game!

honestly I like it more than i expected. its exactly the kind of chill, relaxing game I was looking for. and the no forced ads aspect is AMAZING! EDIT: Now that I've played a bit, I still really LOVE the game. I do wish there was some more info on how things work. like with lumen, how much am I getting in what time period? and needing boost gems to finish Discovery tasks can be a bit annoying since you have to wait so long. still a great game with a lot of potential!

🄰🄰🄰 Thank you so much for the kind words Claire and the updated review! Your feedback is very fair and I hope to add more information in the journal with details on other parts of the game! I did intentionally hide how much lumen you're getting in what time period so the focus isn't numbers (everything is balanced equally) but did ad flora value
