Lovely game. Was not disappointed!
Wed Aug 30 2023 Mahalkita1234123So I’ve been playing this game for 2 weeks now, and it’s such a relaxing game! I feel like a lot of f2p games really limit you to only 5-10 mins of gameplay until you have to spend money, or wait a few hours until you can play for another 5-10 mins. I really love how this game does not push you to spend anything! Of course, there’s still the option to. And honestly I’ll probably end up spending money in the game because I appreciate the devs for making such a great game! It’s not too complicated, and there’s plenty to do, plenty to collect, plenty to save your acorns for! I love that there’s a lot of options to watch ads to double your rewards for tips, flour, treasure hunt, the mini games with special customers. It’s a great free and optional way to advance in the game! If I don’t feel like watching ads, I won’t opt in. But there are some days when I’m trying to rush to get something so I’ll watch ALL the ads anytime I get and it usually gets me what I want pretty fast! So no complaints there.
The art style is beautiful and reminds me of the Studio Ghibli style of anime. I also love the cute themes of the different areas as you upgrade! Everything is pretty attainable.
I will say the story and the dialogue is also cute. I hope Alessia comes back though, I’d be fine with helping her manage the campfire cafe too! I feel like she could make a great addition to the game. She’s the only one missing! Literally 😂
Great Game, and Not Predatory
Sun Jun 25 2023 Verdee's Moving CastleA lot of games offer a nice playing experience at the beginning, and then beg you for reviews right before they price gouge you for additional content and play time. So I was waiting to write this review, but now that I’ve been playing this for a week, I think I can say this with confidence.
I love this game, it’s super cute and fun; it’s quirky and clever in narrative and asset design. Importantly, for the first time ever for a game of its type, I don’t feel backed into a wall to spend money in order to keep playing. I usually prefer games that you can just pay once to remove forced ads, and then essentially own the whole game ad-free. Which is fine. We should pay people for their work. This game does not offer that, but it doesn’t even have forced ads. Not at all. There are in-app purchases, but they sell things you WANT to buy, because there are such cute items and buffs. But you don’t NEED to. You can also acquire an insane amount of bonuses by watching ads voluntarily.
I wish every developer had this kind of business model; it really favors the player, and I am absolutely and necessarily impressed! Thank you!
✨ AMAZING ✨ But where’s the ending?
Mon Aug 07 2023 Crusher jjThis game was been the resolve to all of my short boring breaks at work over the summer. It was actually really fun meeting the new characters and developing the spaces all this time. I feel like all of the text about the different guests and cafe workers was so entertaining and really brought me just the right amount of joy this busy season. However, I believe I’ve reached the end of the game 😳. I upgraded the sanctuary for the last time and there are no more goals to reach moving forward. Now, I knew I was playing the game quickly and it took up a fair share of my screen time lately… but the plot isn’t going to end? The chefs wife never comes back? There are no more themed updates like a lumberjack or minimalist pack of furniture? I highly suggest adding another zone to the game like an arcade or a plant/thrift shop for an extension of characters and activities, which also might allow more time for the plot line of the chefs wife returning or finding out what that means for the cafe, the other characters, etc. I’m totally fine with there being a point of just collecting acorns and relaxing and mindlessly running the cafe, but I can’t help but think about how much potential there is for the game go reach a little bit further into its universe.
This is a good game but I do have some critique
Sat Jan 13 2024 j@n;eI’ve been playing this game for like 6 months now and safe to say I’m a bit of an expert. It’s a great idle game to get sucked into that doesn’t require constant ad watching or paying money to be able to enjoy. The ads and money spent only add to your experience rather than taking away as many games do. The art is cute, the mechanics are fun and easy and as my friends can attest I’m a bit obsessed.
However, I do have a couple critiques. I won’t be touching on the fact that the game gets barebones the higher levels you get as I understand the game is still updating. However I would love more ways to get wood and bricks as there’s lots to purchase wood and bricks and it is near impossible to get. I would also love a way to do more with the gems. I’ve got like 5,000 gems and have no idea what to do with any of them. And finally, the outfits max out at level 20 which makes sense. However what is frustrating is that the outfits that are maxed out can still be dug up which wastes my shovels and is frustrating to use 9 shovels and get no outfits as all the outfits go to maxed out outfits.
Despite these critiques I do love this game and can’t wait to see where it goes!
Amazing game
Wed Nov 08 2023 JamieHorsesLifeHonestly do not understand all the bad reviews and I’m convinced they’re children. Yes the game is similar to other games, due to the game type, however I’ve take much more of a liking to this game. The art, and characters are just adorable and so creative. Just saw the little mouse wizard and oh my god was I in love with his design. The background art, tables, the bakery. It’s all done so well. I can tell someone put love into this game. People complain about having nothing to do after completing all the available content like the developers can endlessly make more. It is expected in any game that isn’t meant to be repetitive to get to a point where you unlock everything and have nothing to do until the next update. Which is understandable, since we can’t have our wonderful devs slaving over making more content. I’d like them to take their time and bring us something amazing in the long run. I hope to someday complete it and see all the different characters and dishes! All in all, adorable game and lovely game full of unique characters and beautiful art. Definitely a 10/10.
Phenomenal!!!
Tue Aug 08 2023 provacogurlkkWhere do I even start??? I've only had this game for about a week, and I've fallen IN LOVE. I log in everyday and play for at least 10 minutes. This game is just so.. perfect!! It's extremely calming due to its cutesy art style, slow moving animation (a good thing!!), quiet, lovely music, and the sound effects!! But not only is it calming-- it's engaging! It has lots of different things to do to progress the (cute, but not intense) storyline. For example, you have to buy things for your cafe to increased its reputation, and once you've reached a certain reputation, you are able to add a bakery or campground! It's engaging and entertaining without being overwhelming or difficult to progress. I love it!
Oh, I forgot to mention! The game willl usually give you little mini games every 7 minutes or so, to keep you motivated! This is really nice and feels like a little reward. It's also super fun without paying, which I appreciate, since most games have paywalls/certain game items you can't get for free. This one doesn't!!
That's all for now. Amazing game!! 🩷
Absolutely loved this game
Fri Oct 27 2023 Rose0770There is so many things right about this game. It’s cute, the story line is fun. I love the little details on the customers and the storylines between the staff. My only little problem is oftentimes the staff like the chef and chocolatier often stand right over items I wanna collect or will have things hiding behind them I can’t find. Also with the new year dragon event, sometimes the lanterns or just normal item will be behind things like the garden pots or stove and I can’t access them. A minor issue was for the last storyline it took me so long to get the reputation needed because I had no more upgrade I could do so I had to rely on getting character upgrades. The only other problem I have is I’ve reached the end. There is a Halloween event going on right now so I know it’s being updated but I’m out of missions. And the storyline ended so suddenly. WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS DAUGHTER?? And do Oliver and Erika get together?? I wish there was more cause this has become one of my favorite pastimes. Please update it more!
I love this game !!!!!!
Sun Aug 06 2023 LeighAnn02this is finally a game that does not shove ads down your throat. you are given so many chances to avoid ads, you truly get to pick IF you want to watch them for boosts and WHEN you want to watch them. no pop ups, no hanging down ads, no pausing gameplay.
great story, fun characters, so many cute animals !! my only chagrin is i feel that the story completion rewards are WAYYYYYY too little. after spending 198,000 dollars on the final piece in a 10 piece set, you get 5 costume tokens. i get that this makes sense for the little nails to unlock new areas, i have no complaints of that. it just takes a very long time to complete the sets that it suggests you complete with little reward or pay off.
i’m still playing the game, things progress in a well thought out manner. it’s very fun ! it’s one of my favorite games, you can pick it up and play for 5 min or play for an hour ! just a little bit disheartening for the spending over a million dollars to completing a set and receiving nothing besides a meshed together set as you’ve progressed to the next section already
this game is actually free and is so cute/refreshing
Fri Apr 12 2024 edviewingI had my doubts about this game. I immediately thought this game was adorable (great illustrations and character designs) but I have been burned so many times before by games like this. But this ACTUALLY LETS YOU PLAY THE GAME for free, i haven’t found anything i can’t get just from game play. do you still have time out periods? yeah, but the gameplay loop is best enjoyed in bursts in between other things. I doesn’t feel like it wants you to never leave the app, it lets you go when it’s time but it trusts you come back cause “ohhh i’ll have enough tips to buy the new recipe by now!” and honestly i’m just so relieved to be able not feel pressured to buy in to experience that.
Outside of that, characters are all cute and the dialogue is cheesy and wonderful. the food looks tasty and the areas are interesting and unlockable at a good pace.
hope to see more decorations /customization in the future but this is a treat of a little game.
Overall great game but one small thing...p
Wed Mar 13 2024 Poecile_AtricapillusThis game is a lot of fun! The character designs are great, not to mention all the different customers that have unique designs! The art in this game is gorgeous. The backgrounds are well made and the writing is above average for an appstore game. The aesthetics chosen for each area when buying furniture is a lot of fun to look at too! Not to mention the food- well drawn with a large variety to boot. I have one small gripe and it is very small but does hurt my experience. I have been updating the camp grounds and there is one item that updates into a broom that is definitely a Harry Potter reference. For those who don't know, JK Rowling is a raging transphobe and views anyone complimenting her work as also endorsing her views. While this game more than likely does not make her any money, the reference to Harry Potter put a bad taste in my mouth. A simple change of its title to a witch's broom (and the description being changed too) or something would mend this problem. Nothing else really needs to change imo- just that one thing hurts my experience.
