### 5/5 — 我超愛這個遊戲

*2025-07-27, version 2025.7.8*

我超愛這個遊戲，哪時關服玩到哪時，希望是一輩子！

休閒不忙，放置長男孩男人，收成-散步-看故事-看香香的CG

就是這麼chill，不玩可惜！更何況是英文版！沒有看不懂的問題！看不懂就Google翻譯！

不允許這遊戲不紅😭😭😭😭😭
太好玩啦！

### 5/5 — Cute!

*2025-05-22, version 2025.1.1*

This game is pretty cute, it’s nice to just have something to check on occasionally

### 4/5 — The “Lite” version of what I was looking for

*2025-05-20*

This game is exactly what I was looking for in terms of collecting fun boys with cute illustrations attached to work towards. However, I feel like there’s a significant lack of stuff to do once you spend 3-5 minutes catching up on harvesting. This game could be improved heavily if there was a section for selecting your favorite boy and taking care of him, or a section with well thought out mini games with small rewards to keep you occupied while your boys grow. 

I really love the way this game grabbed me visually, so please consider these suggestions moving forward. I think the gameplay would be improved significantly with just a few additions.

### 4/5 — bug/error

*2024-12-08, version 2024.10.7*

the sell coin envelope function is broken

### 5/5 — 回鍋

*2024-11-30, version 2024.10.7*

好幾年前玩過回鍋，遊戲改的更容易玩了，很棒！只是日文配音變韓文嚇了一跳哈哈

### 3/5 — Good but Only if you're Paying

*2024-05-27*

Mandrake Boys is a really simple joseimuke where you collect a bunch of various "mandrakes boys", all of which are in groups of 3 and have their own illustrations and stories. All you do is plant, wait (1min-48hr, rarer units take longer) harvest and repeat. It's really casual and it's nice to collect the various chibis and art, but if you wanna collect them all you HAVE to take out your wallet. Freebies give basically nothing so your stuck either waiting months or spending to get them at your own pace. 

7/10 it's a lil old (looks like those old korean pixel games from the 2000s) and f2p unfriendly, but the art is beautiful, the stories are fun and it's still getting updates after 6 years.

### 2/5 — very long loading time

*2024-05-14, version 2023.10.1*

very long loading time

### 3/5 — Bought stars but didn’t get them. Need assistance

*2024-04-01, version 2023.10.1*

I’ve been playing this game for 7 years. I like the casual and chill kind of game play. I’m currently experiencing a problem with purchasing stars. I bought a pack of 4000 stars($26.99) 2 days ago but didn’t get them. I tried emailing support but never got a response or the stars I purchased. I tried attempting a 400 stars($1.99) to see if I missed something and I got a window that said “Synchronized with the server to correct data mismatch. Please try again.” I tried unlinking and linking my account, redownloading all resources, deleting and redownloading the app, and even updated my phone. Still no stars. I emailed Support a few times already but nothing.

Update: I finally got my stars after contacting and replying to Support. Took about over a week but glad to get them. Thank you

### 4/5 — Fun cute

*2024-03-23, version 2023.10.1*

The payments for stars process but I do not receive my stars. Please fix. Game itself is cute, relaxing, addicting

### 5/5 — Funny little plant game

*2024-02-12, version 2023.10.1*

The game isn’t very deep, but very addicting! You basically plant some seeds, leave the app, then come back in a few minuets to pick them. You can also unlock little stories between the plant boys (many of which are very cute). Simple as it is, I love it a lot.
