The game is cute, but very predatory with the microtransactions. Each individual pack only gives you one animal on average, with no other way to acquire the animals, and they can range anywhere from $5-15 *per* animal. Insanely overpriced for how little you're getting. I recommend not playing if you're prone to impulse purchasing. Otherwise it's not a bad game, if you can get past having to watch an ad every 60 seconds.

Great potential, but needs work to be actually relaxing. It's not very intuitive, can't really tell when items are rewards or costs for something. There's no manual to refer to, so if you forget tutorial stuff like apples, or can't tell what icons are what, you're on your own. Constantly have to bounce around to upkeep, constant push notifications for icons within the app, never-ending cleanup on the island and dont know how to reduce it. It's not the stress-free wind-down app I was hoping for.

This game is amazing! The animals are adorable and the game play is very calming. It lessens my anxiety a lot just by playing, and I love the option to just just and listen to the sounds of nature. There isn't very much I would recommend for updates, but I wish we had the option to place the package option with the exclamation points above them elsewhere. I keep accidentally clicking them, but other than that, it's worth the download!

Cute, little, relaxing game, with quite a few features and options as well as features that give you a decent starting point. Lots of upgradable options/new animals and features, even without paying real money. A few ads need watching to advance certain features but nothing too irksome. Would be even nicer with some more realistic graphics, but I'm sure that would mean more ads to compensate, so for now, a decent little idle game. Would make 4½ ☆ if it would let me.

While I love the idea and the design, there's too much going on at once. There's the constant flashing of exclamation points on your island that dont go away unless you buy them. The island is just cluttered with things you constantly have to click on, and the game progresses so quickly that there's just a constant stream of things you have to be doing. It looks like it's supposed to be a peaceful relaxing game, but it's really not. It's an inconvenient game that wants your money.

A very creative and thought-out experience for sure. Genuinely relaxing, helpful with insomnia, and useful for something to do. You can tell a clear amount of work that went into this. You get to learn more about animals and the environment. You also get to collect various animals which each come with their own whitenoise. It also has its own aesthetic to it that adds to the experience.
