Community Insight:
This game is so relaxing you just get to plant plants thats all.
We just recently downloaded this game, we were wondering if there would be a possibility of an update or maybe unlocking new levels.
This is such a good game we spent hours playing it. You need to get it. It also helped us with our adhd.
We got to a high level in the first 30 minutes of playing it.
This has to be our favorite game as an adult in a long long time. Paying $5 for the premium is extremely worth it in many ways, we couldnt be happier to remember that when Im stressed or our adhd is effecting us, that we can always count on this game to help us relax and enjoy some good ole plants.
This is so calming it makes us wanna cry its so easy :) it makes us smile watching them grow.
We really love this game! So fun and relaxing! All the plants look realistic (in there own cartoon-y way) and we love that! As for the ads, we agree with some of the other reviews that there are a bit, but Ive seen MUCH worse, and we love this game enough that we can ignore it.
This game actually is alot more then it is at the surface. Its cute. Its satisfying. Its educational. We love learning the plants and their names!~.
We were searching around for games and stubbled upon it. First of all the style of the game is wonderful and we enjoy every little detail, and there are not many adds. Im also very impressed with the variety of plant options they have from aloe to donkeys tail to blue chalksticks. We also love how you are able to customize the shelfs and sky. This is an adorable game and we recommend it to any plant lover.
Its so relaxing we have asma and this app helps so get it now.
Well its a fun game and gets us sometimes out of anxiety moments but overall a fun game if you like plants.
We love terrarium but im sad that butterfly idle is gone. Where did it go? :(.
Its so fun because you get to see all different kinds of plants, and its also just fun to see the growth of them.
This game is so relaxing. Omg. Hate the ads, but you get rewards for watching them.
LOVED this game. Ive been playing for over a month. This morning we went to open it and Im stuck on the loading screen. Im so bummed. Edit 5/28/22: the game works again, however youre not able to collect oxygen while youre away, making it virtually impossible to grow more plants. Im on level 1259 with 3 worlds, yet Im stuck. The boosters also arent available; it seems its not keeping track of the correct time. The game is great when its actually working.
We got to level 1500 and our offline coins stopped working every once in awhile & now our coin counter thing just has a bunch of random numbers and goes down? Not like the usual #b or #t.
We love the game when it works because we find it relaxing. However when we first open it, it glitches and we cannot collect any of the green (oxygen?) and even after closing it, the total number resets. Same with the boosters, the numbers appear negative and we cant use them even after hours of not opening the game. Other than that, we would say the other reviews are appropriate. We wish there was more customization available. And a way to get crystals without buying it (perhaps from a challenge or spin a daily wheel maybe).
The plants are cool and we like that theyre adding more, but half the time the app wont let us collect any oxygen unless we restart the app multiple times. In some cases this results in us losing the oxygen Ive accumulated. Other times all of our worlds will be stuck on the exact same amount of oxygen, none of which is collectible.
We dont want to buy in app purchases for real money in a plant clicker game that we just started playing. So ads pop up probably every other minute. We played to level 22 just closing the app and reopening it to skip the ads. A nice relaxing game if it werent interrupted by extremely cringe mobile game ads. We dont even want to play anymore and get new plants because we know every other minute Im closing and reopening to skip the repetitive horrible ads. If we were able to play the game and unlock the plants it would be 5 stars. The ads are just horribly insane. If we could get invested with this game, we would support the devs but Im deleting it instead.
This was a super fun game for a while. We really enjoyed taking care of little virtual plants, but then the glitches kept getting worse and worse over time. Its reached a point where Im not getting the oxygen (the currency used to upgrade things in the game) from our plants anymore so Im just stuck at the point Im at right now. We dont even have a ton of plants unlocked or anything like that. We have to close the app multiple times before it can barely function. Im super disappointed and Ill be deleting the app because its not worth the hassle to play an idle game that barely works. Edit: we just went to delete the app and apparently we had the subscription to the game. We had tried to get it before but it never fully registered that we had the premium version, so we stopped trying. Turns out we were paying for it and didnt even get any of the benefits! Cant believe we paid for an app that doesnt even work.
Ads are an inevitable part of free to play games. Im fine with that. But when you ask us to watch an ad for a 3x bonus OR just claim our reward and we choose to just claim the 1x reward and then you show us an ad? Absolutely unacceptable.
>5s Ads for each level up Not gonna waste our time with this.
Our game crashed. We were on level 3580 with two worlds maxed out and when it crashed it all disappeared Im so mad.
This game is so fun and its very relaxing and especially how it make our anger issues go away it just made us like calm so we will rate it 5.
Ive been looking for a game thats chill but also keeps us entertained this is the perfect game.
That game made us so relaxed. We feel a lot better now.
<3 we used to love this game but now theres way too many adds. Still our favourite game.
This game WAS fun, but the fact that they just gave up on it and never released anything new in the coming soon sections is so annoying.
Hello we just want to say we really love this game we play it everyday and we even told our school and cousins to pick which plant they want to be and that makes us happy, we really love orchids and we came here to say if you could add an orchid Id love this game for eternity and the creator of this game Please and thank you.
This game is so cute, the creator really knows their plants, especially houseplants, there's a whole variety of all the ones people love to keep. You get a large area for everything that is continuously upgraded at a low cost, so the game doesn't make you sacrifice your old plants to place new ones the way some others do. Lots of content, and it's very fair, not becoming immediately expensive but instead giving a feel that you can keep progressing throughout the entire game without having to pay. Calming and fun, we love it.
We lost all our stress on a hard day with this app, we love how relaxing it is. And we got so much money off of here, BEST EVER.
We love this game so much that we could literally not stop playing it! Theres just some things that annoy us: When we are checking on our plants, an annoying robin keeps coming to offer us more oxygen bubbles. Maybe you could change it to 1 robin every 10 mins? (except offline) Please and thank you.
You should try this game it helped us stay calm after our cat died this game is awesome (suggestions) 1. And more biomes like a desert or a rain forest 2. We should be able to name are plants 3. We should be able to decorate are selfs with like seasonal decorations like bats for Halloween or ornaments for Christmas but this game is good.
This game is better than any other click to win game.
We miss you and we love your game :) we found your game again after YEARS and its still sat in the same stage of updates take you time but we do hope you come back to our little garden.
Very aesthetic and relaxing plant game of growing plants and seeing how far of a journey we can go and we love games like these.
Ive actually played this game on and off for years now, its great be able to keep a lil virtual garden and check in every once and a while :) Doesnt force you to pay for anything, it certainly could benefit you if you have money to spare but its by no means a requirement. We would recommend getting rid of ads if youre able to though they can be a bit intrusive.
This game we saw and downloaded it thinking we would be forced to watch ads nope this is the best game to just lay down, relax and just watch things grow! (To the person reading this download this now!).
Amazing game the robin is annoying though.
A super cute game that has a LOT of potential. Easily would be our favorite little idle game on the App Store. Cute art, neat idea, some annoying ads but most are optional ones. But their support is non-responsive (have reached out due to a bug that makes the watering can not work properly) and there are new areas in the game that have been Coming Soon! For literal YEARS (at least 5). Ive all but given up on it – we think its probably been dropped.
Good game, almost relaxing but every time you upgrade and it gets to a 5 or anything that ends with a ten, it adds one extra upgrade so it doesnt get to a 5 or 0. As someone with ADHD and OCD, we like things to be perfect. So when we see our upgraded plant go from 49 to 51 in one upgrade it just pisses us off. Id play for longer if this was changed.
Can we please get an update and get more worlds? Some of us like us have already maxed out everything and theres nothing to do after that.
We remember loving this idle game. Decided to redownload and its all just ads.
The game itself is fun, but the frustration that the ads bring far outweighs any comfort the game brings. Lets start with every time you open the app it begs you to buy the vip subscription. $5/month just to not have ads plastered over your virtual plants There is a bird that appears almost every minute begging you to watch an ad for a reward. It sits in front of your plants forcing you to tap in it at times. Then when upgrading plants sometimes it will switch the button to watch an ad to upgrade for free without notice. When youre upgrading multiple times, this tricks you into watching an ad. Keep in mind none of this starts unless you really start ignoring the begs and bribes to watch ads, so about 20 minutes into the game. If you ignore all of these, then it starts displaying a huge banner ad at the bottom of the screen. And if you ignore that too? Then it just randomly starts playing full screen ads, no reward, just surprise ads. Good game, awful experience because the ads and begging are infuriating.
Why am we forced to watch an ad after opting to not triple our level up reward by watching an ad.
One thing we love is that you don't have to afk or rely on offline earnings to progress. You can actually play the game and make progress. Overall, it's just really relaxing and fun. No complaints Great game, would recommend.
Such a simple yet lovely game. Great for folks like us who love a clicker that you have full control over, and we absolutely love the customization options. We reset our game recently to start from the beginning and Im so glad. Hopefully soon the dev team will release the locked content.
No glitch or anything like that love it.
Its relaxing and fun, we love this game so much, recommend recommending to anyone who wants a fun game to play when youre bored.
