I enjoyed playing this game while I could and even put some money into it. I thought the developers had obviously put some effort and character into it, which was really nice. I'm mostly disappointed that after making a lot of progress, the app got frozen on a "processing your payment screen," even though I had not made any payments. I had to uninstall it, and I don't know if I will re download it because of all the progress lost. The developers should consider adding a way to save progress

It was fun at first. I was thinking I'd enjoy the storyline that they started on. Yeah, I was a bit disappointed you couldn't choose any of the decor, but it was a minor issue. The major issue is that you finish the garden, and it just stops. You can still fill orders and merge and all that, but there's no more quests, nothing else to do, and worst of all, no more of the storyline they started. A huge letdown, honestly.

Was having fun, seemed decently balanced and story was cute. But the story just stops, with nothing else happening. You can play and merge, but no answers or even a plug in that says let's just enjoy our time for a bit to atleast transition to no plot. And based on other reviews its been this way for atleast 5+ month if not longer. Should atleast have a note saying "more adventures coming soon!" Or something

One of the best merge games I have played! No pop up ads, optional ads for rewards, customers actually order items that are cluttering your board and consistently refresh every hour making allowing progression constantly! Story is cute and engaging, plus the artstyle is very cute and comforting, plus seems like an LGBTQ+ positive game! Gameplay is very thought out, I have progressed passed the point of written story, they added a way to see missed story bits after an update! Download this game!

Fun but a lot of hiccups. One thing about this games is that it's surprisingly good at keeping me occupied with all the fun aesthetic. Although that's all the good things I can talk about. This game constantly crashes mid games. Sometimes it'll crash just loading in. Another thing that's kind of throwing me off is that I bought something and it crashed. The money was taken but I didn't receive said items.

Cute fun game with no mandatory ads (LOVE this!!!) but I wish the playing board was a little bigger. There are now 10 things (idk what to call them) that produce mergable items and there just isn't enough room with all the items that are produced before you can merge them down. I know I can drag items to my backpack to store until I've merged my board down but even then sometimes I run out of room and end up having to sell some items for only 1 coin.

very aesthetically pleasing, I love the art and character designs! my main problem is that energy is so hard to come by. there were a few ads I could watch at the beginning for 25 energy, but now the only option is gems. I would gladly keep watching ads for additional energy, I really thought it'd be a daily refresh on ad opportunities. love the story so far though!

I was actually really excited about this game early on. I love the art style, and the story seemed like a lot of fun, but then it just... stopped. I've cleared and finished multiple areas past the garden, and there's been nothing but that sharp whistle that plays even when you turn all sound (but not speakers) off. Edit: Looked for replies and other reviews. Story seems DOA, and no responses from devs? Game seemingly unfinished this whole time, and they still grab for cash constantly. Terrible.

This is the best merge game I've ever played. I usually only play merge games for maybe 2 days because the timing for things to refill or energy to replenish is so annoying. I think the timing for this one is sooo much better! Plus I love the story and the art! It makes me want to keep going to get the rest of the story!!

I LIVE for the mystical adorable cheekiness of this game! It has little story bits that you can tell have been well thought out, the art style is bright and fun and adorable, the ambient music is so mystical and fits the energy, and ads are ENTIRELY optional for a full play experience. I can tell the devs genuinely had a lot of fun making this game. Can't recommend it enough!

I rarely post poorer reviews, but I've also ran into the issue of the story just stopping. And I've seen replies to other reviews saying they're a small team, and I understand that. I am concerned, though, that all of the areas I've completed I won't get the story for since I passed the prompts. I really think that if the story wasn't ready. It should have made me wait. I've completed three or four different areas now that didn't have story. I'll have to put it down and come back to it.

Game has a cute art style and though I found the story boring at first, I eventually got pretty invested! Then the story just completely stops? You can still complete orders and make changes to the cafe, but either the devs are still writing the story or the game is glitched. Whether it's a glitch or still in progress, will I be given all the story I missed? Or have I missed out on all of that progress? I most likely will not play until this is fixed. I'm a little let down to be honest.

I normally don't write reviews, as I often brush it off and find the pestering annoying. HOWEVER, this game is insanely cute and comforting. The character designs are phenomenal, creative, and diverse. It's affirming that the dev team kept their word, and there truly is no ads to keep bombarding your game play. They barely even pop-up their own advertisements for you to buy any in-app purchases (but due to the company's good nature, I had to chip in a couple of bucks :] ) Thank you, Devs!

The artstyle is so good and honestly you can tell there's a lot of heart in this game! Edit: Just wanted to come in and give more love to the game! First off, again, the artsyle is so pretty, and the story is really cute. I love the characters and their designs, but I cant help but love Saturn the most XD It's also really easy to level up and earn gems and coins! The game feels like it's helping you along rather than urging you to make microtransactions. It's so calming to play too!

I love the art style and the story. It's almost like playing visual novel inside a matching game. Until you get to the gazebo that is. I'm disappointed I will never find out about the mysterious adopted child. We never get to see the health inspector visit either. Nor do we get to have the garden party. After that it's just matching objects until you unlock more objects to match on repeat until you clean the map. I hope they eventually continue the story before I lose interest in cleaning it all

I played this game for a few hours, bought a few of the in game bundles because I was having fun. I left to run errands and came back to find my progress reset. I'd gotten to level 7, but I was level 3 again and the story had reset to way earlier. It didn't refund any of the coins that were used or anything. I spent money on this and it feels like such a waste. The only reason it gets two stars is because the game runs really smooth otherwise.

I like this game, I really do, the character design and art style is so cute!! And the story is quite interesting, but ever since the 3rd day I had the game, it won't load- it just stays at the opening cloud screen stuck on eternal loading. I even waited for 10 minutes so it could load in, but it was still stuck on the same cloud loading screen. I've even cleared the cache MULTIPLE times, yet it does absolutely nothing. I've had the game for 5 maybe 6 days now, I'd like to be able to play this.
