Game concept good, execution middling

The game is cute and could be great. Familiars are cute. There are a few things needed: more to do, collection is slow and new machines are too expensive; stories are not interesting to me and in fact, are somewhat annoying, why do we want to be in love with everyone?; Summoning familiars should be better, you cannot get new common ones after awhile and it's hard to know when you need to use the confluence; the go-to links in orders should take you to the machine/producer, when linking to other outputs, that should be clearer so you can find those as well. Later into the game, you cannot do much of anything.

Cute

Fun and cute but wish there was a little more to do

Awesome

AWESOME

No actual help

In general the game is great. Where the issue is there is no actual help if a problem does arise. The only “help” is an FAQ. No place to get actual help if you need it! I summoned a familiar in the Underwater Market and then it completely disappeared. So I’m currently upset since it takes a lot to get the special familiars

Fun but buggy

I’ve been playing for a while and I’ve really enjoyed the cute stories but this most recent event has an annoying bug that removes all my familiars from my event buildings and I have to reassign them each time I open the app

Has been unplayable for a week.

I can't imagine releasing an event without testing it on iOs first.

Cute but buggy

Cute game, simple concept but done well.

My main issue is that every new update there is some bug messing up the game play.

One update the event quests only gave 10 event currency until almost halfway through the limited time frame.

This past update, every time you click into the event your familiars get unassigned and you have to reassign them.

Great game!

I do love this game, but have had a recent problem with the latest update. The new updates storyline wants me to finish the taste of collecting a certain item which I did, but I’m also supposed to read chapter “open for business”. The problem is that the chapter “open for businesses” isn’t an option. I don’t know if this is a problem for anyone else, but I would love to read the whole storyline and enjoy this update.

Cute idle game

I really like this game, I like all the little familiars you get to collect. I do think after a while it gets hard to get new machines because of how long it can take to get money. But it’s a really cute game to play without stress.

Still loving it

I downloaded this game in December 2025 wanting something to chill out. And unlike a lot of other games where I lose interest after a month or two, I’m still playing 6 months later!
I have not had to spend any money to make any progress in the game- it’s an option sure, but you’re not penalized if you don’t! I love the little events that pop up to make it interesting. It’s a bit of a set and forget. And if I do forget and not check in for a few days, it’s no big deal!
The only adds that come up are the ones I CHOOSE to watch to earn:
1. When opening the app I can choose to watch an add to double the items collected.
2. Watching an add to unlock a ‘special order’ (for earning gems) faster. Or I wait 30min.
I love that the game never has adds pop up unexpectedly, or forced ‘time to take a break’ like a lot of other games.
I have noticed sometimes the ingredients needed to create an item will randomly change. That’s weird and can be a bit frustrating if I’ve built lots of a certain thing that I no longer need as many of. But, I have so many things ticking along it’s not that big a deal at this point of the game. If I was earlier in playing it would be more frustrating.
Looking forward to the next event!

Story with a side of production chains

(Or maybe it's the other way around?)

Story: very distinct and entertaining characters, with dialogue choice and a little bit of illustration. Even after you complete the main story, the regular events are mini-stories in themselves. I've found the stories all entertaining and often funny.

Production: grow herbs, create potions, bake magical foods, sell goods so you can build new engines. Every product is an ingredient for something else, making for really, really long production chains. Good thing automation is available!

Adorable

I am loving this game. I just wish events where more often. Once you collect most of the normal familiars, it starts to lack the magic.

Nobody in this game ever goes to the bathroom or bathes

I really understand some cultures may be offended , but add a closed “box” for toilet facilities and at least a bathtub. I have multiple rooms. Heck; enough room for all my in game characters! We can sit cook eat relax sleep. But nobody bathes or uses the restroom. Really?

game was good, but app is weird

i loved this game. the story was fun, the growing and crafting were cool and it had some of the cutest decorations. i loved that there were no forced ads, only optional reward ads. that is until i tried to use one of those ads and found out that tracking is required for the ads to play. why is a game not able to show me ads unless i allow them to track my actions on my phone. i’m sad to see to not be able to play the game, but that’s just weird.

Loved it but has some bugs

I had lost a ton of my events progress all at once when a new event was loading in, this caused me a lot of grief because I’d paid money for an event or two. Anyways after a day or two of the event being loaded it all came back randomly. So I guess just don’t panic if your stuff disappears, it may come back. Otherwise stellar game, super cute

Gorgeous game

I love this game and have played daily for 6 months. It’s a super cute game with amazing graphics and adorable little critters! The developers have completed heaps of bug improvements in the last month and gameplay has significantly improved from feedback in earlier reviews too. As the game has progressed, there’s much less emphasis on growing plants and it’s become more about machines which is sad. The requirements for these machines and being able to fulfil daily orders to get resources can feel a bit tedious now. But overall, it’s a great game worth playing

slow start

cute anyway

Love this game!

I’m neurodivergent and sometimes don’t want super hard games. This one flows and has a cute premise. And it’s the first game I’ve ever read the story to. It’s so cool how you get to choose how the conversation goes.

Relaxing/ fun, but

This game is exactly what a cozy game should be. It’s relaxing and cute, but the storylines don’t always connect, it’s impossible to get the petal dragon (once you get close to hitting a full “grove magic” bar it resets), and somehow my game is glitching out at the moment. I went in to play/collect and all of my grove is covered in dirty land asking me to expand when I already had said land

Favorite game

This is really the only game I play. I adore getting more familiars. I appreciate new events each time, and enjoy logging in each day to see what is going on.
