New genre creator, bottom of your screen games motivate you to do something you'd procrastinate, definitely a must-have game
Gets repetitive extremely fast, not very fun and requires a lot more attention than an afk game should
A nice little cozy game that sits at the bottom of my screen while I work or play something else. I really like the idea of different biomes and the level design - every world feels unique. There’s a huge variety of crops and berry bushes, so you can organize everything however you like. The achievements are pretty relaxed, so you don’t need to sweat over them or try too hard. It took me around 150 hours, but I’m pretty sure you can finish it in less time - maybe around 120 hours.
