No ads — for real!

I find that this game brings a good level of challenge, but is still casual enough to be fun. There are actually no ads, even in the base game. I enjoy the visuals and music, and theme of cute animals rebuilding neglected gardens.

Terrible level scale

As you progress in the game, the stage difficulty scales to rng reliant levels. Is it so hard for a publisher to NOT rely on rng based odds?

Don’t download, devs abandoned it

Boooo tomato tomato boooo don’t abandon your game boooo

Love the Game

I just wish you would update the game! I’ve completed all the levels and I’m on the bonus levels and can’t complete the garden I’m in cause I can’t earn anymore of the seeds

Impossible levels

Several levels are impossible to beat if you don’t have power ups or boosters. It’s also very difficult to earn coins to purchase these power ups and boosters.

Love with only one request

I have a blast playing this game! It’s relaxing and easy to do while baby is asleep in my arms. I love that there is no in game purchases to get ahead. The only wish I have is to get more seeds especially if we are playing hard and super hard levels. Other than that 5 stars is the most I can give.

No updates or fixes

Haven’t updated the game in over 2 years. Still stuck with a glitch that prevents me from completing the levels. Stuck in an endless bonus round even though it shows I haven’t completed the zone. Reached out to them and they gave me a standard pre written BS. Don’t waist your time on the knock off candy crush.

Only a handful of levels repeat

Once you finish all the levels, only a handful of levels repeat as “bonus” levels. Once every 50 or so levels, a random one is available. Then it’s back to the same handful over and over.

Addictive little game

Love this game it's surprisingly engaging and fun. I love all the animals, enjoyed the positive uplifting conversations between them and learned about various plants and animals in different environments too (from a veggie garden, to the desert, an orchid garden, zen garden, mushroom forest, etc).
Each level was fun with unique puzzles to solve. Highly recommend if you have some time to kill or just want to take your mind off things.

Later levels impossible

The concept is good but by the time you get to the 4ths garden, it starts to get impossible to do even a regular level without using power ups, spending coins, or using tools. This is supposed to be a “relaxing puzzle game” but the difficulty is stressful at this point and I don’t want to play anymore.

I must say goodbye

I’ve been playing this game for at least 3-4 years. I’ve been waiting on the promised update for YEARS. I get to the end and swear I’m going to delete it. I’m finally going to do that. While it’s an enjoyable game sometimes, many levels are too difficult to get through and end up being quite costly to complete. That “bonus” level is ridiculous. It is clear that the developers of this game have no plans to update it ever l, so I’m deleting it today.

Amazing game

I accidentally spilled water on my MacBook about a year ago and finally 3 days ago I was able to finally buy a new Mac and all I could think about was playing this game! My wife and I absolutely love this game and I hope they update it again I hope the developer hasn’t forgotten about it

Used to be fun

This game was super fun, but they stopped updating it, so you can never finish. With the last update i keep getting the same few puzzles over and over. Really bummed they wrecked a very cute game!

Love it!

I love it! But I can’t finish the new garden. Is there going to be an update to fix this?

Peaceful and Fun

I enjoy the tranquility of this game. The music is very relaxing. I also really like how the game does not pressure you into spending money on coins. Likewise, I enjoy having unlimited lives to compete levels. Overall, I really enjoy this game!

Lovely but incomplete.

Really enjoyed this one, but it's not complete. 😭 You can't earn enough items to unlock all the garden parts.

Needs update!!

Only about a week or two of light game play. Please update and add more gardens!!!!!!

Dead game running

This is a fun game. There are a number of bugs that make things harder than they need to be. However, the game is dead in the water now. No updates since Zynga (yes, THAT Zynga) took over support. No surprise, really. They continue to make money from a game that costs them nothing. I’d love to believe that there will be an update some day, but realistically this game has long been on life support. Apple should force games like this that require regular updates to be removed if there’s no developer activity for a year.

Great game but…

I really like this game. I like the challenge and some puzzles are quite hard but never impossible. I reached the end of the last garden and the message said “new gardens soon!” But then I was surprised to see the last update was 2 years ago. Disappointing. I imagined the coders working hard creating new gardens and that’s why the bugs with the animals were not fixed- but this is not so I guess. Please add new gardens and I’d be happy to change my review. Also, it might not be that hard for the coder to fix the bugs in the animal animations. I’m sure if you fix one garden, that would easily be translated to the others.

Fun, relaxing, stuck

The game hasn’t updated in over 2 years. I have 40/41 achievements and that last one should have cleared ages ago, so the completion-ist in me is very frustrated.
