    One of these game that starts with "alright, I'll just prepare my future crop plots" and end with you looking outside, wondering why the sun is already coming up.

    This game destroyed my life. I don't care about my life, I don't care about my work, I don't care about my family. The only thing I care is this game.

    Highly addicting. I ended up buying it on the iphone/ipad too because I wanted to play it on the go.

    This game is phenomenal. Reminds me of an old-style video game philosophy where they just throw you into the game and expect you to figure it out. A lot of trial and error but very rewarding progression and unlocking new research. 100% recommend. Can't wait to try the sequel,

    Would easily describe this as tedious. I think if I could change just a few small parts like the water storage system or the annoyance of having to watch a seagull steal your ROTTEN FOOD and since it stole from you your happiness still goes down. It's decent and I don't hate it just after a certain threshold it's SO DAMN TEDIOUS.
