SLOW build, amazing at what it is

One of my favorite games; beautifully detailed graphics along with in-depth mechanics create a perfect balance of calming and deeply engaging gameplay. I love that it forces you to figure out your optimal setup piece by piece, which also constantly evolves as you advance.

However, the progression is PAINFULLY slow. You can upgrade ONE of your 62 buildings every day. Purchases are required to achieve anything beyond a pitiful crawl in your progression that takes days to even move up one level. These purchases quickly run out, after which youโ€™re stuck paying $1/day if you want any meaningful progress.

I appreciate this game as a long-term cultivation of your zen garden and still play it daily, but increasing daily upgrades would maintain MUCH more interest. Looking at a grind that takes actual years gets old quick.

Truly F2P

This is a very cozy, simple, yet addictive game. There are ads but they are not intrusive. Payment is optional!

Got banned?

I downloaded the game and left it on my phone for a week. When I came back I suddenly got banned for a reason I don't even know.
