I’ve really been enjoying this game :) I love having all these tasks to do to make this little village better. My hope is that the developers continue to work on the game an expand it into something even better! I’ve spent hours playing already and still haven’t completed everything, but i can feel that i’m getting close to the end of content available for me to explore. I’m hoping desperately that the areas that i can’t continue on to because i “might get lost” eventually become playable new areas with new things to fix up or items to collect! Maybe there will be new bugs/fish/animals that only spawn in these new places? New crops you can only buy seeds for there? New cooking or DIY recipes??? (my dream) Also, I can’t help but be a bit disappointed in the lack of interaction with the other villagers; there’s no way to learn anything really about the other people living in he community or form any relationship with them outside of just cleaning up around their homes and giving a few gifts. It’s the weakest point of the game. I’d love if we got an overhaul of the way we get to interact with NPCS in the future ^^
oh! and maybe a way to unlock/earn or buy a bicycle so we can get around the map quicker? it’s very tedious to walk from your house across to the very edge of the map :)

Thank you for the great review! Very encouraging! We will continue to update.Im obsessed with this game! It's like a simpler, Japanese-culture-focused Stardew Valley, so if you like cozy farming sims you will love this ❤️ I do wish they would add more character customisation and clothing. I would love a ponytail. Maybe a sweater for the winter. Also I kind of wish the NPC characters had names!
After playing 40+ hours there are a few things I've noticed: - there are typos and grammatical errors a few places (like "I've finished send out nengajo" when it should be "sending", "Hervested" in the backpack menu when it should say Harvested) - when looking through the backpack menu, the steam from the hot food blocks the inventory # amount above it - when walking in the mountains, sometimes the screen won't automatically move and I have to walk around randomly until it works again - There is dagashi that claims to help you find 5-star animals and fish, but none seem to exist in the game. What's up with that? Overall I love this game and hope to see more updates soon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎎🎋

Thank you for the great review! We will do our best to update!I absolutely love this game so much. I love that it’s challenging and almost kind of strategy like since you only have a certain amount of hearts to do stuff before you have to sleep the time away so you have to think carefully about what to do next and use your hearts for. It’s so chill and I got all of my friends to play it too. Me and my girlfriend play this game every single night before bed and I sometimes catch myself in my lectures playing when I’m bored. The cure for boredom!!! If you’re bored and looking for a game to play this is it!! Please keep making and developing games like this. I would love to see something that involves a city or a village on the beach instead in another rural area in a different part of the world with a different language. It’s very educational and helps with getting to know many traditional Japanese culture and value. I love this game, it’s more than just cute it’s veryy accurate.

Thank you for the great review! We will continue to do our best to update!I’ve played this game for a few hours, and thus far I really enjoy it! It’s a super chill cozy game. I love the music and the art style.
The only critique I would give it is more character customization and some of the mechanics feel clunky. It would be nice to be able to change hairstyles, eye color, skin tone, and clothing. Maybe you can make a wardrobe and then craft clothing with the cotton and sewing kit that are already present in the game, and make dye with the flowers so they have more use than selling and offerings. Some of mechanics aren’t very intuitive, and don’t always work right. For instance, when cooking fish it takes a few tries to get the bamboo skewers in, and you can’t place a fish past where another fish is on the grill. Also, the tap to move doesn’t always work right. It would be nice to have a joystick option, or something similar.
Overall though, this is a really great game, with no bugs, fun characters, and a relaxing setting. I would definitely recommend it.

Thank you for your review! We will continue to update!This game satisfies many cravings. I love the seasons and the pacing of growing foods. The music and sound effects are fun and calming. I love the seeing the representation of and learning more about my cultural heritage. I think diy projects could take longer. I wish the futon and pillow screens would say how to use them- I am assuming you need the whole bedding set. I like the easier to toggle fishing pole etc with a long push. It was hard to find out I could sell things on other tabs until I had been playing for three weeks. A few glitches I have encountered include: I attempted fishing by the upper water gate and could not- the screen flashes and all my controls and backpack disappear. I can’t put the fishing pole away. I sewed seeds for glutinous rice but four slots were forced to be opened and I could not plant there. A sewing seeds glitch makes it so if you quit the game before your field is fully planted, you cannot put more seeds in until your present crop is done. And the next time I tried to sew crops, I could only plant the glutinous rice in the four odd spots.

Thank you for your review! Regarding tool switching, it has been introduced in the latest version. Please check for updates.This is the first and probably only review I have or ever will make on game in the app store, so this really says something about the game and how much I love it that I’m doing this!!
First of all, the biggest thing that I think needs the most and soonest fix is the controls for the game on the computer. You have to click on the screen to go walk anywhere, and it’s just really inconvenient and uncomfortable. Please make it so that you can use the “A, W, S, D” keys to move your character around instead of just being made to use the trackpad!! You can maybe even make it so that we can also use the “space bar” or “enter” keys to do some basic commands like confirming a purchase or something just to make it easier on our hands.
The above was honestly just my main issue that I wanted to bring up, so I’ll add anything that I can think of later on, I suppose.

Thank you for your review! We will continue to improve the app.I will give you guys five stars, just because of how obsessed i am with the game. But i will like to see some updated changes. For example, i know the main character is a guy, but not everyone will like to play as one. Especially if hes nameless. I want you guys to incorporate having players pick between a girl or a guy, and then have us change their names, or at least let us give our character now a name. Hes walking around being known as “you” like let us name him. Also theres a bit of non realistic stuff in the game. Why doesnt the character or any of the npcs change their clothes to match the seasons? Its winter and hes walking around with a heavy backpack, a short sleeve t-shirt and pants. That’s horrible, at least give us an option to change his clothes. The mountain costing energy is also bad, in my opinion, you can explore limitedly, unless you have food, you’re screwed. Also the game becomes repetitive once you finish all the gifting/calendar quests.

Thank you for the great review! We will continue to update!Feeling: I like this game very much. I have been playing for nearly 20 hours. I think everything is fine: keeping cats, dogs, chickens and fish is very healing. Every festival can do something interesting, which is more helpful to experience the cultures of different countries. Question: Do you need to update some inaccessible maps, or do I need to continue to explore how to access the new map? Suggestion: 1. I hope more NPCs can return special gifts after receiving gifts from players; 2. Add more dishes that can be made and richer interaction; 3. Players can make more interesting things and decorate the hut more freely; 4. I hope to release lockers and other things in the future. Players can put small gifts won during the summer festival in cabinets or as decorations; 5. I hope this game can be more logical. Characters can change clothes when it snows in winter, instead of wearing only one dress and carrying the same bag all year round. You can also buy cloth to make clothes for your pet. 6. The crop harvest is too small, which is very unreasonable. Only nine crops were harvested in four game days! 7. Add more maps. For the time being, I will continue to play this game. I hope you can do better！

Thank you for the great review! Very encouraging! We will do our best to update!******:PROS: { The pixel art is just wonderful! It’s really pretty to look at. }——{ The game loop is cool and the mechanics are as well. }——{ Cute dog. }——{ Exploring is really fun-there’s a lot to do. }——{ Seasons! There’s lots of variety. }——{ The developer seems to be responsive and involved.} ******CONS: { Feeding your pets can be a chore, especially if you didn’t have the crop or fish they needed to feed them, so you have to wait a few days and lose their trust. It would be better if there food tastes changed daily. }——{ It gets annoying navigating the map. For example, someplace would be great if they had a shortcut. However, there’s like certain paths set up and you cannot go anywhere else. Like you have to go around a whole object or you thought a place was a shortcut, but it wasn’t. }——{ Sometimes your tasks aren’t clear. When the player is supposed to fix the school roof, where do you do that? }——{ The landlord tries to scam the player. 3000 coins for a mountain? That mountain better be made out of gold. }——{ Not much variety with soundtrack. }——{ Game starts to feel like a fetch quest due to the amount of running. Being able to fix the bridge really quickly in the beginning would help a lot.}—-{Building stairs on the mountain is so annoying. I missed the sunrise because of the million of stars I had to build.}
I pre-ordered this game because I wanted to learn what it had to offer. It looked so cute, and it was so exciting reading about the cultural events and traditions this game included. I wanted to experience it! Once I started playing the game, I fell in love. The pace of the game was slow enough to be relaxing, but quick enough to keep my attention. Progress feels so good in this game! It is like a mix of all my favorite aspects of daily life/simulation games. Working on building and repairing my house in game was inspiring to me. It reminded me that I can accomplish goals if I take those first steps. Even if the process is slow, it will get finished eventually, and it will be so rewarding.
This game is incredible. I have been enjoying my play time so much. It's beautiful. It reminds me that there is so much to enjoy in this life. Thank you. ♡
