Now I don’t normally write reviews but I feel like this game is worth it. I’ve had it downloaded for about 6 months now and it has never disappointed me. In the beginning it can be slightly demanding of your time and effort but once you’re further along it gets so much easier. I love how there’s a point system for how many steps you can take and how the game doesn’t require you to check in every single day. I’ve had it for quite some time and I haven’t unlocked all the worlds yet. There are countless games out there that require you to tend to things or else they die or whatever and I’m so glad this isn’t one of them. 😌 All in all, it’s a lovely game to help unwind after a stressful day at work. The gameplay is simple and the graphics are one of a kind. What more is there to love? 🌱✨

I started playing this several years ago, and am finally about to finish the game. Unfortunately, no new worlds have been added in all those years. (The last world has been Witches' Garden ever since I started.) This game is fun and addictive, the art is beautiful, and I really enjoy being able to help other players and vice versa. However, as there are no new worlds and plants to collect, I will probably be leaving soon. As another long-time player mentioned, I'll check in every few months or so in hopes there will be an update.

update: i have since completed the game. i still have some plants to unlock, but since they hardly ever update the game, i have time. i currently have 1 billion energy. billion with a B, with nothing to spend it on. game gets boring really fast. not much has changed since my last review. i have had this game for a month or so, and it’s gotten really old really fast. i wanted an app that would motivate me to walk more and make a game out of it. walking in real life does not help this app out at all. walking IRL maybe contributes to 10% of the gameplay. i have 52 million energy saved up, but that’s not the walking kind. there is nothing i can spend that energy on. it just sits there, adding up. the energy i do get from walking can get traded at least, for goods. but it makes a small dent in what i need to progress in the game. getting amethyst is incredibly hard. i’m about 5 worlds in and i need 900 amethyst per plant to unlock it. it takes forever to earn that. by that time i do get it, i have earned 10 million energy. the scale of energy and amethyst is way off. it’s too easy to get energy and too hard to get amethyst. so now i sit, stuck in world 5, needing to unlock 3 plants i’ve already discovered, waiting to save up 2600 amethyst. that’s nearly 150,000 steps in game in order to trade for it. WHYYYYYY?! this game quickly became boring for me. to progress is getting too time consuming and i’m quickly losing interest.
