Firefly Village

I'll change my review if the game breaking bugs ever get fixed. But the new update broke cooking and you can't use chests with stacks because it deletes everything in the stack except one item when you try to pull anything out of the chest. I had a lot of fun before the update, kinda wish it hadn't been updated because everything worked before. But we'll see if it gets fixed. I only put a negative review because the dev hasn't responded to any of the complaints of the new bugs.

I don't think I have played a more shallow game in my life. Literally every thing in this game is puddle deep. Every single day you just go around collecting items to sell so you can eventually buy other things that only allow you to get more money quicker and through other means like the pickaxe. It genuinely felt like I was playing an incremental game and every day was the next round

I've finished and 100% this in 7 hours, I did not expect this to be that short, but considering the simple contents of this game, 7 hours is just perfect for it, without it feeling like it drags on. I finished the game on Winter 5, Year 2. I really enjoyed my time with this game, it really is a bite-size farming sim game, everything is bite-size. Few crops per season, 7 days per season, which seems very short but for THIS game and the small contents this game bring out, with everything bite-sized, it does make sense for there to be 7 days per season. Fish collection is bite size, cooking recipes is bite size, mine and gems are bite-size, only 5 NPCs to befriend (and marry 1 of them), and the village is very small. I love that the tools are not part of your hot taskbar, they appear when you interact with something, that's it. If you're overwhelmed with how much contents there are in other farming sim games, and looking for something much more simplified, this game is simplified, or if you're someone that are looking to get into farming sim game, but scared that you may not enjoy it, this is a great one as a 'trial' to try out a farming+life sim game before committing to a much larger and well known farming sim games. Great job with this game, dev!

What happens when you take a farming game, speed it the f up and make things super simple to accomplish? You get this game! And... It actually works. Firstly, the game has charm. It has a certain warmth to it. You can [i]feel[/i] the Developer's love and I am overly grateful that he gave a damn about the game. Also... Just a heads up... Leo alone could've sold the game. XD For me anyway. He is such a cutie/sweetie!!! Ah right well... If the speed is too fast for ya? You can change it, but... There is no point. You'll finish the game faster then. The Achievements are also rather simple and only the "Cook all the recipes" will require a tad bit of work. Romances! Okay! We have three females and two males... But even if there weren't any interest in females from my side, they were rather adorable. I don't really have much to pick on and neither do I want to... Hmm... Well, one thing then: The bed. Another reviewer pointed it out and I couldn't stop laughing at the comment they made: "The bed is small, so does this mean the husband sleeps atop of you?". XD Ahahahah! And we are good. Good work. Good job and keep up the goodness!!!

This game does not work on steam deck. I’ve tried handheld and I’ve tried it while docked. Four times two separate days, uninstalled and reinstalled. When pausing or simply trying to open your bag it kicks you instantly right out. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

You can get married to a cute witch. This should be more common in games.

I adore this game! It works so well as a game to play directly before bed, after a long day, or while listening to a podcast. For the times I don't want to optimize, min max, or think too hard. I like that it auto selects the tool based on context (like Wyldeflowers) and just interacting with the animals also collects their produce. I tried a demo or early version and then put it down, and recently came back to it and was pleasantly surprised by the updates. The stacking items is very nice! I miss the grid like movement, especially on the farm field, but enjoy the more fluid movement in the forest. It's a lovely game, with a tight focus. The dev knew what they wanted to make and made that. If you're looking for something complex or deep, this probably isn't the right pick. If you have evenings where your mind is fried but you want to play *something*, then this could be the chill experience you're looking for.

this game is exactly what it says it is "bite-sized", super simple, and straightforward. the map is tiny and there are only 6 villagers! but as someone with thousands of hours in farm sims/cozy games, i actually found it very relaxing and fun. everything is simplified, every item has a set slot after you buy it, and there’s no time management or stamina stress. personally, i enjoyed it a lot, especially on the steam deck <3

This is a very nice, relaxing game! Although I do wish there was more character development and an overarching storyline, I won't gripe on that too much since this is a solo dev project. You can tell that the dev put a lot of love and hard work into the game!
