love it!! suggestions...

I could literally sit here and play for hours! What a fun little gardening game! Time speed is great. Animals are amazing. Literally love this. Will be buying when it comes out for sure!

Glitch?
When i hover my mouse up and left the screen will move that direction which is perfect... but when I try to go down and right, it won't move- so i have to use the keyboard. Can we do all directions please?

Suggestions
1. When the keepers can't find their homes- can their assigned home glow another color when we pick them up? Or an arrow appears and points the direction of their home? I want to help but I don't know where they belong either....

2. Can the store supply the cheaper items in the beginning and then increase as the level increases? I have no use for expensive things to start with but I would have loved other flowers and colors - which should be less expensive I believe... So it lets me add color and have more fun with the plants until I learn other skills.

3. Can animals have a "preferred" shelter type listed? My frogs keep leaving even if they have logs... is that not what they want?

4. I agree with some others about needing a bridge over streams as one of the tutorial gifts - i had a keep get stuck on the wrong side because he walked around all the ponds and ended up leaving because i didn't understand that he was stuck. OR maybe have assigned areas for the keepers? Like in Roller Coaster Tycoon you could assign areas for the cleanup crew?

5. For the comments that talk about too much time in the beginning and sitting around waiting- this is what i mean about having the cheaper flowers available in the store first... they could have bought flower variations and had the money to plant the little ones i they had access. Then they would have been focused on garden design and colors while still having the money

Future updates
I'd love to be able to name the gnomes that make homes in my garden. Also change their clothing color! Plus more than 2 cottage types? Keep the color scheme so everything matches but have like, a tall skinny one, back view sides, etc.

Overall a great game!!!

Thank you so much! <3

Yeah, for sure. That is a bug. I'll write a bug report on it. If you know, I'd love to learn:
- Which resolution are you playing in?
- Are you playing in windowed/borderless/full-screen?
- Which OS are you running?

> 1. When the keepers can't find their homes- can their assigned home glow another color when we pick them up? Or an arrow appears and points the direction of their home? I want to help but I don't know where they belong either....

Oh no! Currently, you can see a filled in "home icon" in the direction it lives in (unless I have bugged it). But in that case, maybe it needs to be clearer or more visible. I think I have a task on doing that anyway, so I'll improve that.

Maybe there is some improvement there to be made. In general, it already only gives the cheapest items (with some randomization). Except for the last one, in case you have more money or want to see what's coming up. But if there's not enough items in the pool, you will just get some more expensive things.

> 3. Can animals have a "preferred" shelter type listed? My frogs keep leaving even if they have logs... is that not what they want?
Yeah, I'm doing a rework of the shelter system as there are some issues right now. For example, if you only have shelter in the water, the frogs are not getting to it and become unhappy in the end. For now, you can put some tall grass close by and the frog will use that as shelter.

Noted! :)

Yeah. I'll be fiddling with this one. There's many different solutions and opinions, but I do like the idea of having some more cheap stuff in the start.

You can rename gnomes and animals already! :) But I will be looking into more customization for sure. Whether it be clothing color or other stuff. And definitely more house variation as well. I like the idea of a tall and skinny one. Sounds adorable! ^^

Thanks for giving feedback. I hope the game turns out even better once it's done!
