Absolutely wholesome and adorable. I love this game and unlocking more adorable things. I LOST it when the ducks showed up. Granted I wasn't sure what to do when they appeared at first, but LOST IT when I figured out what they did. The art is amazing and the game is super chill. I'm use to all these rushing time management games but this game is so chill.

I absolutely adore this game. I'm a pixel artist as a career and I love the art in this game. The attention to detail in character portraits and landscape is beautiful. I love the concept of this game. The character creation was so cute and I appreciate the devs making them non-binary genders.

+ Love that you can throw a bunch of items in to craft things at once. Something I really liked in Stardew.
+ No energy usage for using items. Spam the hell out of whacking those trees and rocks!
+ Respawn of trees are instant. I found it weird that the trees would instantly spawn a grown tree instead of a miniature that grows into a bigger tree, but I really appreciate this for when I need more wood! Bothers me that they spawn too close to home ...
+ I love the shopping in this game. It rotates daily (in game) so you can grab a bunch of new things every day. Think Animal Crossing with the store!

Here are a list of things that I found that negatively impacts the game SO FAR. I understand this is early access and that there needs to be some fixes.
- No World Map. I have no idea where the hell I am 90% of the time.
- Hard to find specific characters. I couldn't find Kara for a week to give her a record she requested. After a week expired for the quest, I SEE HER FOR TWO SECONDS AND SHE WENT INTO HER HOUSE.
- No fence door? I haven't found it yet maybe but trying to pet animals is a butt munch. I have to take apart my fence to pet my animals if they are far from the edge.
- Not sure when crops are ready. I have to use a scythe to test if my crops are ready. Fortunately nothing gets destroyed when I use it and the crops are not ready. But an indicator of some sort would be great.
- There are no seasonal events YET. I personally am thankful for this because I'm still trying to get use to the game, so I'm cool with not having to drop what I'm doing to do an Egg Hunt for a whole day. But I know some people really want events. Otherwise, every day is just a chore.

tldr; love this game, super great potential. hope the devs can add more stuff soon :V PLEASE GIVE US A MAP.

I love this game very much. I'm a big simulation gamer and love having your own business kind of games.

- The art is beautiful and I can see that the developer put a lot of time and love into the game.
- The story is wholesome.
- Love the ability to upgrade the store.

- I do wish this was controller compatible. My left hand started cramping after a while because of having to hold shift a lot to run faster (I'm not a FPS player xD).
- I also wish I could've changed the running to space bar but It didn't let me. Not sure if this was intended.
- Along with editing the keys, I wish we could've used the mouse as a interactive button. BUT again I understand that the developer had her reasons to set this so <3

- It was a bit of a learning curve but I did not know that we could throw things away in the trash in the kitchen. Maybe I missed that message? I'm not sure. But it was blending so much that I didn't even notice it.
- Also did not know that I could use the Arrow keys to move instead of WASD, which made leaving RUN on LEFT SHIFT so much easier.

Beautiful game none the less. Would recommend it :) I would've bought this if I did not receive it as a gift.

I was looking forward to this game for a long time. Months, maybe even over a year? And I'm pretty disappointed more than pleased.

While I really appreciate the memey dialogue and wonderful colors, it doesn't make up for the many things this game lacks and what was their potential. And yeah its a bit unfair to compare this game to the Katamari series, but I think I can speak for many of us that were looking forward to this that we expected something somewhat close.

Good:
1) Lovely cute story - I adore the characters and the memey dialogue.
2) Adorable music - Great to listen to!
3) Mechanics of chapters - I love how there are times where you have to do mechanics in order to progress in the story. Like filling water and feeding it to a bird. Or sucking in a firework to flame up the place.
4) Beautiful colors - I'm an artsy person so I really appreciate the colors and the art of this game.

Bad:
1) Short Linear Story - Each chapter has a quirky story that is funny but they're short and you're unable to "do it your way". What I mean by is in each scenario you're limited to certain tasks, like grabbing 4 chairs and ONLY 4 chairs before moving along. There's no sense of flexibility where "hey maybe I can move out more and grab these giant shoes or inflatable ducks". No, you can't. You're restricted from gathering other things, its like a shopping list. And after you're done with the list, you're out. Next chapter.
2) No Sandbox - Bigggg bummer here. I was hoping I could go around and wreck havoc in my own time and my own way. There's only a short linear story and nothing else. That being said ...
3) No replay value - All you get is a short linear story. I finished the game in an hour and definitely it lacks so much and has so much potential.

There is so much potential in this game and maybe the devs have it ready and lined up in development now. Perhaps something like Hole.io that has a competitive mode. Or a single player sandbox with time-attack. As much as I appreciate this game (to a certain point) and the devs who put their heart and soul into it, I do not feel its worth $13 for a game that is only 1 hour with no replay value. Perhaps I'll revisit this game when it has more updates and the devs can rub their money in my face. I believe this game can go far, but right now this is not worth $13. If it was a $5, sure.

WORTH. BEST GAME TO PLAY WITH FRIENDS.
