Honey Grove — Cozy Gardening

I love this game as a little wind-down, especially the chance to incorporate a lot of low-stakes strategy, optimization, and sorting of your garden and other things. I so love when there’s a chance to make a little system out of a game like this. I like that you can fully play the game without ads if you choose, and that it has a double tap system for certain things that prevents accidental clicks, I think overall the game is really well thought through and while I don’t really care much for the storyline I can see how it would appeal to younger kids especially. My only critiques would be that it would be nice for flower petals to show up in the inventory which it doesn’t seem like they do, and I don’t like the meals gifting with the two characters. It doesn’t really add to the game since they just have like two canned responses each, and I find it annoying when the notification shows up on the map to give them something, so I find myself trying to avoid interacting with that part of the game.

To start off, I’ve loved this game. I downloaded this game on a whim. I’m not big on mobile games since they don’t draw my attention and the ads. Except this game didn’t have any ads. I would say that I have been playing this game for two weeks. I’ve made far progress. In which I’ve gotten 3 expedition bee’s and progressed a lot on the crafting table. The game might’ve crashed, I’m not sure. I have been playing normally as of last night and throughout the day. I opened the app to check on my progress and come to find out, it’s starting back to the beginning of the story. Where Bea(the main character I assume), receives a letter to go back to the bee hive for urgent matters. I close the app thinking it’s a mistake and it’s back at the starting screen from where your journey begins. This could be a simple mistake or a glitch… either way, I’m really disappointed that my progress has been lost. I’m sure there’s a possible way to maybe go back to my furthered progress. I enjoyed and loved this game. It was fun but, it’s not fun losing your progress on a random day.

It isn’t perfect, but I sort of have an addiction to my phone and fast paced things, and I think that’s why I would say it isn’t perfect. So technically, it’s perfect! It doesn’t bombard you with ads. It’s relaxing. The developers are amazing. I’ve downloaded every game from them, thanks to the announcements in most of their games also! They aren’t pushy to demand your money, the games have amazing graphics and designs. This game is incredibly relaxing and has realistic flowers and is super cute! It still allows you to play it without waiting hours for it to be ready so you can check on it again. Definitely play this game. Especially if you struggle with games that don’t please you aesthetically, aren’t satisfying, and you can’t continue in after a few hours of gameplay!
