Needs to slow down!

Love the concept of this app and the graphics are great. This is exactly the type of vineyard "game" I was looking for. However, there is too much constantly going on all over the place to allow the player to relax and enjoy the game. Part of growing grapes is the "hurry up and wait" part where you actually get to taste the fruits of your labor. This app will leave you thirsty from all the stressful running around you have to do to keep it going. Slow things down a bit and you'll have a winner!
