Fun but need work. Now, obviously this game is still in development and will have some bugs but my biggest issue is that I cannot make it through the tutorial. The mushroom guy walked over to stand in from of a house and just shows a blank box with tutorial on the top. Other than that this game has a lot of potential once the bugs are worked out and I am excited to see this game develop.
Forest Farm. This game is an overall fun game other than the mostly common glitches which cause me to restart the level every 20-30 minutes, or it might just be my internet. I also wish you could have a limit to how big your animals get. Other than that it’s a great and fun game you can put a lot of hours into👌😁
Good game highly recommend. As an open world Farming game, it does its job well, could definitely use some QoL additions but as of now it’s a pretty good farming game
Bugs: as being a game it’s bound to have bugs,
First off and most annoying, bushes TANK your frame rate, get too close and the game becomes a powerpoint presentation
Rocks love to take flight when you hit their edges
Sometimes things just kinda no-clip out of reality
When grabbing something, sometimes it isn’t highlighted and the grab is super delayed
The small trees (slightly taller than the player) cannot be stored, you can still interact with them and use them but looking away from where it was cut causes the cut logs to despawn, they respawn when you look back at the area
Sometimes inventory slots stop working and it requires you to restart the game
I’m unsure if it’s a bug but your character has the weight of an anvil
In one part of the map the terrain tears, I forgot where said tear was but when I find it I’ll show an image
**Some ideas for the game**
3 More inventory slots, I don’t believe that 6 is enough due to the amount of things in the game and how easy it is to stumble upon them
An easier way to store items, I think picking them up and putting them in your inventory is fine but I think it would be better to pick them up and put them in a wrist bag or put it behind your back like you have a backpack on
Speaking of backpacks, I think the inventory being in a backpack fits much more with the theme of the game and I think putting your favorite tools on each side of the bag would be nice,
I think the ability to lock built items in place would be nice, like hitting it with one of the tools would lock it in place, you can’t move it and you would hit it with the same tool to unlock the item
Taking a bit of inspiration from A Township Tale, the ability to grab more than one item at once from your inventory would help so much, and it would work similarly to ATT where you can grab single items out of it, split it and pick items up easier with it
In all the game is pretty good as it is now but could be better 8/10
Lots of bugs but still fun. Water flings out of your bucket and planting some foods Costa more then what you gain from it so it's a scam market Example a carrot costs 3 coins to buy the see and when you fully grow it the carrot sells from 1 you can't profit in Thai game and another bug is trying to pick stuff up it locks your hand sometimes and causes your hand to go crazzy you can hand fish for fish so the rod is useless and animals that are not contained leave to the mountains outside the boarder so you will never see them again and The BUSH if you go close to A bush you will lagg more then 100k tnt I'm Minecraft
So much potential. UPDATE: dev has messaged me and is interested in making the game better which is excellent. They implement some better accessibility features in the last update that make playing the game much more bearable. There is still much more to be improved upon to make this accessible friendlier and improve UX. But I’m hopeful dev will implement them.

OG REVIEW
I saw the dev videos on Reddit and thought it looks great and they often seem to be adding stuff as I’ve seen a couple posts lately
I don’t understand why they are adding new stuff when not fixing the core mechanics of the game first.
There is so much potential here but fairly garbage execution.
Issues:
- tree chopping - how to we store and carry wood to the saw mill and soil maker? Please look at raccoon lagoon for how the chopping works and make similar. How it is right now is highly frustrating and just not good
- fishing: how do we even hook a fish? Zero instructions and the mechanics for the rod are horrendous
- mining: I used the pick axe under the waterfall and nothing happened at all. Made no sense
- dropping a vegetable they disappear sometimes
- grab zones - very very finicky- especially the storage wallet. Why is the secondary button not assigned to that? Like the tools is to primary? Next the setting watch just either tap to open or use the menu button on the left hand. Both the watch and wallet don’t grab half the time
- horse: pulling back on the reigns does not stop the horse but letting them go does
There are many more.
Dev: you have an extremely good idea for the game and the graphics are fairly decent. Please please focus on fixing what is broken before adding new features. You only get one chance to impress people and mechanics is super important if not the most important thing next to graphics.
I’d happily upgrade my review from 2 stars if you fixed these issues. As it stands it’s not worth a purchase and this should’ve been release as a private/public beta test on discord first vs asking for money from users.
Your buggy build is standing in the way of success because your rating from reviews will be low and people will be less likely to buy due to that. People also rarely come back and change reviews. You’re shooting yourself in the foot. And those who want to support you well are risking handing over money without promise of fixes because poor overall rating means it won’t be feasible for you to update if you’re not making money.
Extremely fun but some bugs. I know this game is still in its infancy but there are some minor issues I have after playing this game for a few hours. The store barrel most of the time doesn’t allow you to sell items and they just fall into the barrel and become unretrievable. The pumpkin seeds turn into tomato seeds no matter if you put them in storage or carry them and plant them directly into the soil. Other than that, the game is a blast to play. I wish there was a way to report in game issues other than “Report Abuse” as there is nothing but NPC’s in the game.
