Really smooth and cute little game. The art of the different plants looks pretty. My absolute favorite though was the day-night-cycle. The way the sun moved around and threw long shadows around the plants was very satisfying, and at the same time it was useful for visualizing the passage of time. Well done!

Harvesting had some really satisfying sounds. I also loved how you showed the passing of time through the moving shadows, that gave me a great sense of how fast the day was moving without needing anything too intrusive. Before I knew it, it was spring and there was stuff to click everywhere lol. I'd get focused on one area, look away for a second, and suddenly another section needed to be harvested right now. That made the whole thing feel busy but fun.

The gathering sounds were varied, gentle, and honestly just ear candy. I also really liked the pixel art. All the plants looked unique, and they did a good job visually hinting at when the right time to harvest was. Every harvest felt satisfying. i could definitely see this working well on mobile too.

Nice to relax and watch the days go by as the garden grows. It took me a while to realize how you did the shadows that's really cool!

It's very relaxing.

I liked that you can choose a plant and plant it at any time, the choice does not disappear, and it was also well done that the basic version of the plants germinate (does it look like berries?)

Really cozy, managed to get a profit on the most expensive one. Is there any way to close  the menu, though? Cause I feel like there's a pond at the right side, but no way to see it.
