Nov. 2024

Very quaint little puzzle game! Pros: - lovely aesthetic and pixel artwork - interesting combinations of technologies for each map - relaxing music and game play. great after a long day at work to wind down. Cons: - fairly short campaign. took me 15h on the first try to complete a world run. - short supply of maps and the existing ones are pretty small - would've loved to see more complicated maps. Of all the maps played, I only had one where I needed to restart the map to complete it.

This game is so relaxing. Like, it actually works on my anxiety. If you are not a strategy game player, the easy modes are really easy. Very cute, very feel good. If you need a bit more a a challenge, you will still find what you need here. There is something so satisfying about the map taking life, getting independant past a certain point. Love it, you can buy your eyes closed.

Having played the pre-release demo and closely followed its development, I can confidently say that this game is one of its (new) kind and delicately made with care. The fact that the devs actually did many things to better the environment in the real world with the profit made from this game adds onto the layer of reason to buy this game.

April 2024

Very relaxing, calm and satisfying gameplay loop separated into own sections with different goals for each mission/biome to restore nature with different kinds of buildings, to recycle them and to leave behind a beautifully crafted world with fully restored flora and fauna. And it looks gorgeous. For the content it contains the length is pretty much perfect - it didn't feel too long nor to short and keeps you engaged the whole time with new mechanics and a harder variation of each mission for each biome. For context: There are 4 biomes, each with it's own challenges and two missions - a normal one and a little bit harder one - on a random generated map so you can replay those missions after you've already finished them if you want to. I will definetly come back when they drop their new update with some new content.

This game is so focused on giving an engaging experience with nature that they bothered to look up actual lichen species and draw them correctly--I'm in botany, and my colleagues and I often fall into the pedantic trap of whining about video game foliage. I wish I had videotaped the shock and awe from one particular friend when they saw pixie cup lichen. Anyway, about the game itself; short, but worth it. There's a ton of love in this little thing. It's the Sim City of nature, incredibly soothing, but not without difficulty. Restarting a map or a restoration phase is common if you're playing even on medium difficulty. It's being updated too--I beta tested a new animal feature and it's quite fun. Mostly, though, I just wanted to write this review on the off chance the devs read them. The attention to detail has been noticed and appreciated! (Especially using sunflowers as phytoremediators.) (Moss, however, cannot grow in polar climates. Moss doesn't have traditional cell walls, so it'd just freeze and fall apart.) **for the record, moss does not have roots. It doesn't even have leaves. and not even all moss are actually moss. **we hate it too.
