you should put a tutorial to how to play, I don't get it

Relaxing game. Nice illustrations and concept. Couldn't figure out how to use the fish food. Also noted small bug where in full screen mode you can't click on the other tabs in the journal because they click on the sun dial instead. After awhile I wasn't sure if there was meant to be progression or an end goal, perhaps there wasn't intended to be.

It took me a while to figure out what to do, but the art is amazing, the sound was very relaxing and overall a very good game! It's like stardew valley zen edition. (I needed to zoom out my browser screen to be able to see the game screen and play)

Re-posting my comment on your blog post: This a game I didn’t know I needed. The ambience, music and playful exploration is so delightful. Thank you and the team for making it! I actually enjoyed trying to figure out what I could and could not do!

Such a lovely experience. Really beautiful (and very calming). Well done!

This game was super sweet and made me really happy! I loved getting all the little friends, especially their little pictures in my notebook! I ran into a bug where I dropped the cat food on top of the bowl and couldn't pick it up again, but besides that I had a super awesome time playing it! Great work!

Thanks for this lovely experience! Really made my day better

Great game to relax and tend to some chores. I like this kind of game that encourages you to take it easy and not rush.

Things I liked: Cool Art, consistent theme Things I disliked: Couldn't figure out what to do. Never could get any visitors to my backyard.

The idea is great but it's hard to figure out what to do, and sometimes it seems like items get stuck? But the art is gorgeous, and the audio is very well done and helps to deepen the experience. It's really cute when you start getting all the visitors, you successfully conveyed the feeling you wanted, and that's really important!

garden.png Cute game! Took some time to figure out the mechanics but happy with how my garden turned out! Found 12 or so garden friends; how many are there total?

Some feedback: The scissors should cut after you let go, not just on collision. I accidentally cut multiple plants while I was rearranging them, as they had moved over the scissors. Overall very nice work!

nice, more instruction or guidance would be a little helpful. love the mood, visuals and music. is very relaxing to play with. well done!

Double post. Sorry :3

demkimos 2020-04-22 03:19

This is a lovely game. Very chill and relaxing. The art is good for the atmosphere it brings and the visitors :eyes: I want to get to know them all. There is a problem with overlapping sprites where you can't select one of the two which is a tiny bit limiting but aside from that, it's all good. Thanks!

Sooo nice! 5/5 for both audio and mood! Great game that is just sooo peaceful! Enjoyed it and found it relaxing, even (accidentally) left it open while I found more games, it was that good! I like the way your backyard grows. Some improvements could be some slow animation, some more obvious instruction, and more of a goal (it is fine as it is however). Overall, well done, it's good!

Such a lovely game :) Got 15 little friends hehe Too bad you can't purchase any other pot though :x

I like the idea of this game. It's so relaxing and i loved how the animals appear randomly inside the garden

jezzamon 2020-04-26 23:29

I collected so much junk :')

chelc 2020-04-28 18:12

@jezzamon more junk = more happiness clearly :)

Nice relaxing collection game! The art is charming. I like how the notebook has its own sketchy versions of all of the visitors.
