Cute cat finding game. Some were genuinely tricky! I prefer the navigation of an arcade full of cats, but this was still very useable. My only issue was that while playing on steam deck at least, some of the smaller cats were difficult to click on.

After I got a hang of the controls on the steam deck (trackpad), I quite enjoyed the game! Cute little hidden object game with cars, what's not to love?

This has got to be one of my top favorite cozy games. It's just bursting with cuteness and satisfaction. My biggest issue is that I need so much MORE of it. I need more lands to clean up, more structures to build, more ways to reuse the recycling, and so much more inventory space. This game is so short, in fact, it feels almost unfinished. It feels like about 30% of a game.

I really hope they expand or add DLC areas.

Other things I wish they'd add are structures to keep areas permanently clean, a log book of all the loddles found (and how many evolutions are unfound), a structure to automatically feed the loddles (at home base).

Overall wonderful cozy feel good game oozing with squishy cuteness, just sadly on the short side

I'm having alot of fun playing this game. It's so cozy and relaxing!

I love, love, love the art! It's fantastic! And the tasks are straightforward and nothing is too grindy.

My only complaint is that although I'm Lovin the game its not keeping me obsessively hooked. I'm having fun, but it's not like I can't put it down. I do hope I'm able to finish it, I'd love to see all the spells in the spellbook filled out.

10/10 I cannot say enough about how much I love this game. I have it on switch and steam. It's the perfect cozy game.

Initially I'd resisted buying it because I was worried the daily activity limit would feel like a hindrance but it actually works really well to keep the gameplay smooth and I wish more games were like it.

One of the cutest little exploration games with lite farming I've ever played. I just wish there was more. More achievements, more collectibles, more lands.

Super cute and super short. I really enjoyed the game, although, considering it's length you might want to wait for it to come on sale. It was cathartic and "oddly satisfying" to watch nature take over.

I wish it were longer and that there were more goals to the levels but otherwise it was awesome. It's be cool if there was an open world exploratory version of this too.

Cute questing non-violent game. Loved the idea more than the execution. The graphics are adorable and the tower premise is promising, however there are all sorts of just little flaws that really tarnish the enjoyment of this game.

Pros:
- cute graphics
- good gameplay loop
- fun quests
- none of the puzzles are too hard

Cons:
- SLOW actions! It takes forever to harvest resources (chopping, digging, planting, watering)
- the inventory menu is super disorganized and difficult to navigate, no way to sort
- no run option (just walk and roll)
- wish there was a tab in the menu that kept track of quests and who wants what (once you ask them)
- dialogue was uninspired and repetitive. Once a character is happy they just say "nice to see you again", I'd love for there to be some variety based on personality and even just so not everyone felt like a cookie cutter.

Super cute game that hits so many marks! I love the concept and story, it was a really adorable take on the adventure genre while still maintaining that cozy feel. I loved completing all the tasks.

Initially I was a bit frustrated by the lack of map and lack of goal menu, however the game compensates with other items and in the end I found it easy to complete all the achievements.

I have no complaints about it other than some of the scenes were a bit dialogue heavy when I just wanted to play. But that may be a reflection of the user more than the game.

This game has easily become one of my favorite cozy adventures and I highly recommend a play through if you get the chance!

An adorable cozy adventure with plenty of room for improvement.

I liked the idea of this game more than it's execution. The concept was so solid for me, but it just kept missing.

The graphics and art was very cute BUT - so much was awkward to interact with. Everything is very *solid* so you don't walk through the flowers so much as wend your way around them. Several times my character got stuck because of this.

The animations were smooth BUT - there was no run option. There was a walk slower button and a sit down button. It's a mostly walking/jumping/gliding game, so not having a run option seems like a big oversight.

The cut scenes were cute BUT - the dialogue needed some polish. I couldn't get her reactions sometimes, and often the characters just had really awkward conversations. It felt like a first draft script.

Delivering mail was fun BUT - it just didn't hit it out of the park. Sometimes it was because it was just a lot of walking back and forth, sometimes it was because the mail deliveries were just too easy. There was no element that required thought, really. I think I wanted it to feel like there was a larger puzzle or riddle element to it.

I liked collecting the patches and that my pause menu/delivery book told me how to get them. I wish there were more.

The collecting felt unfished or unpolished. I would have liked there to be more to collect but also for the things to collect to matter. Had to collect bottle caps. Why? As far as I could tell there was no purpose.

The characters, in general, didn't inspire alot of attachment in me. I was not compelled to care or complete their quests (other than to complete the game).

Despite my many criticisms, I sti recommend this game. It is cute, if short. And while it feels like it lacks polish there is still enough to enjoy to make it worthwhile.
