Severely lacking in replayability or content for that matter. The problem I see is that its not an idle game but an incremental game, where you move one step back before taking two steps forward in order to progress.
Upgrades are mediocre, just offers a new plant with slightly higher value of things at a much higher cost when you place more (one step back) so you can increase overall coin rate (two steps forward). Wonder what would happen if I planted that first thing, then removed it before I gained any profit?
Some things have enemies, some don't. No-brainer if I want to maximize profits. Chickens and sheep have enemies that chase them endlessly until beaten back, while pigs and cows don't and they get to produce stuff all the time. Easy choice on what to pick. Your comment about "invest in a guard dog to keep the order"? I don't see any option to get a guard dog anywhere. If that's only available on your app thing, I don't have a smartphone, so that's disappointing.
Root crops get bunnies so I don't bother with those. Plants and trees have birds, but they produce so much that I completely ignore birds. Pumpkins have no enemies, so that's all I plant in that category. So I have pumpkins, cows, and pigs running around with a guaranteed income. I don't need to worry about foxes or wolves or bunnies.
I'm only level 17 but it doesn't seem to have any end to it, nor does there seem to be any point. I kind of wish the blue guys would stop running to the edge of the garden and back (the AI seems a little unreliable), and they don't offer any sort of protection against predators or birds. They seem to favor free-drop items than to ripe stuff to pick out of the ground, which leads to inefficient gathering.
Music is so damn catchy, though. Blew the dust off my speakers and hummed to it while its cranked up and vacuumed. Graphics are nice and colorful and just a farming game in general is always something I gravitate towards. There's a huge lack of "get this, this happens" other than just pure leveling progress. I kind of hoped the pigs digging up soil or a boot would make my little blue man crew move faster or water crops. One thing I really do like is the lack of text, but instead simple pictures that convey much more than words.
The mole dude doesn't seem to do anything. Not a threat, but you can bonk it.
I don't know. It feels like an old strategy game like Starcraft where you gather resources and... set out, defend, attack, DO SOMETHING. But this game just has me gathering, so I can spend to gather more.
Anyway, its a great start to a game with real potential. But I don't see it in the game we're shown here. For what it is now though, its not a bad little time-waster.
