### 5/5 — good

*2026-06-18, version 2.2.1*

good

### 5/5 — すごく楽しいです

*2026-03-25*

広告も少なく、他の人の場所に訪問できて、参考になります！みんなすごく優しくて楽しいです！

### 5/5 — 楽しい

*2025-11-25*

6年振りくらいに復帰したけど雰囲気とか全然変わってなくて安心しました。癒されます

### 2/5 — パズルが難し

*2025-09-13*

パズルが難しすぎて全然先に進めない。
動物達は可愛いくて貯めては行けても、パズルが進めないので使いようがない。他のゲームだと一定の回数クリアしないと少し配列が優しくなってたりする、そういう配慮があったらうれしいが。

### 5/5 — マジかよ:( •ᾥ•):

*2025-05-25*

パズルで、ターン数全然残ってるのに「もう消せないよ！」の表示が出てゲームオーバー扱いになってライフ減りました('ω' ;)

順当にパズル消して行ってたら障害物(隣で消せば消えるやつ)が邪魔してるのか、全然パズルが落ちてこない……嫌な予感がしつつも続けてたら上記のような表示が出て終了してしまいました。
理不尽っ！｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡
他の方が書いている通り、完全なる運ゲーパズルですw

パズル以外の部分は、ほのぼの農作物ゲームです。
ほのぼのとした雰囲気で、時間の掛かる様々な要求をされます。
動物の可愛さ、雰囲気の可愛さで星5です。

### 3/5 — 進化して欲しい

*2025-03-30*

何年もやってるけど、最近何の進化もなく飽きて来る

### 5/5 — クレーム

*2024-12-07*

内容は悪くないが、ログイン時に限定ショップのポップアップの位置が悪くダイヤ消費してしまう部分を変えて欲しい。せっかく楽しくやっているのに一気にやる気無くす

### 4/5 — Pretty good but one issue

*2024-09-30, version 2.1.5*

It’s a cute game, all the different animals are quite cute but I don’t think it’s as good a game as catroom which is also by cross field. Unfortunately they seem to have stopped the upkeep on catroom which is why I decided to try Happy Garden. It’s quite an addictive game, especially in the beginning as you’re trying to get established. I think they made the game a little too difficult in several ways. 1. The timing is a bit off. The animals will ask you to purchase things way before you could be reasonably expected to have gained that much money so it rather hinders your progress in the game. 2. A number of the puzzle levels are a bit too difficult in my opinion. I’ve had it where all four animals are asking for things that are gained by beating puzzle levels but the level is so hard I’m stuck working on the same puzzle for days at a time. Also I don’t like that not only does it cost coins to get some of the recipes, it costs coins to make them as well. That feels like overkill to me. 3. Puzzle level 698 is absolutely impossible. I’m completely convinced it cannot be done no matter what you do which is extremely frustrating. 😞

### 3/5 — 絵はいいのにねぇ…

*2024-09-20*

アイテムを購入し、広場をデコっていくこのゲーム。しかしメインはパズル(だと思う)。パズルをクリアしていかないと、コインもダイヤもたまらない。 そのパズルがむずすぎる。始めは簡単だが、途中から運ゲー化する。その原因はギミックにあると思う。増え続ける水、二重になる草むら、壊すことのできない水たまり、動かせる方向が制限される棒のようなギミックなど。 ギミックの種類も増えていき、さらに難易度が上がる→クリアできない→なんとかクリア→次のステージで地獄を見る　の繰り返し。 また、このゲームには「注文」というクエスト的なものがあるのだが、その内容も難易度高い。料理(未開放の)を作ってほしい、パズルを一定数クリアする、時間のかかる作物を一定数収穫するなど。そのクエストには期限がないのが幸いだが、捨てることができない。 パズル、注文以外はまだマシだと思う。絵は最高。💕 ちょっとストレスがたまる覚悟で始めてみるのが良さそう。 
 追記    パズルが運ゲーと化してる原因のギミックまだあった。雲、貴様だ。あんたはだめだ。 ニコニコ笑顔で毎ターン水出してきたり、ブロック変えたり…全ては雲の気分次第。 ステージ216あたりで出てくるぞ。
 私「(残り手数2)よっしゃ、あと動物1匹落とせばいける！！ギリいける！！あとここを動かせば…」
 雲「ア！良イトコガアル！ココ変エヨウ！」 (マッチできなくなる) 
私「(°▽°) (#^-^ ) 」

追記追記
2ヶ月前くらい?にアンストさせてもらいました。某パズルゲームでは、アイテムも結構もらえるし、難しくても頑張ればクリアできる難易度。ギミックもこのゲームより良い。
箱庭要素あるからパズル用のアイテムもらうの難しいのかもしれんけど…。

言いたいのは、(ほぼメインといえる)パズルが難しすぎる。
もう一度言います。難しすぎます。

### 4/5 — 面白い！

*2024-07-09*

子供が畑を、大人がパズルをやって楽しんでいます！ パズルはだんだん難しいけど、少しずつ進めて2週間位でパズルは125レベルまでいきました。

建物も金額が高い建物はコインが多くもらえるので無理してでも高い建物を建てるとお金が早く貯まります。
