My Tiny Garden

I have mixed feelings about this one. I want to give it a thumbs up because the art is adorable and the concept is cozy, but right now it feels like I am playing an Early Access title rather than a full release. The devs are active and released a patch recently, but there are still significant issues that make the "Idle" tag feel misleading. The Drone Issues (Post-Patch) The main mechanic for idling is the drone, and it is still buggy even after the latest fix. Sync Issues: The drone still tries to do tasks I have already manually completed. It wastes time hovering over plants that don't need help anymore. Freezing: If I sell or move a plant, the drone stops working completely as soon as it reaches the spot to do the task. Tasking Logic: When restart the game, it seems to only seek out new tasks appearing after it spawns, while completely ignoring previous tasks that were already waiting. Quantity: When you have multiple plans, a single drone physically cannot keep up. We need an option to buy multiple drones. The "Idle" Problem. This game is tagged as Idle first thing, but you have to sit there and stare at your screen for hours manually fertilizing, trimming, and watering just to unlock the drone. It costs way too much currency for a basic feature. Suggestion: The drone should be unlocked immediately or be very cheap. Unless you have absolutely nothing else to do with your life but click on virtual plants for hours, the pacing is way too slow for an idle game. Bugs & QC Settings: The "Always on Top" setting resets every time. I have to manually deselect it every single time I launch the game. Testing: I don't understand how this was released as a full game with these bugs. Either the playtesters missed obvious issues, or they were ignored to hit the launch date. If you are looking for a polished experience, wait a while. If you don't mind playing a game that is actively being developed and fixed as you play, then go for it. The potential is there, but the devs are fixing things slowly. Community Note: I suggest avoiding their official Discord channel. If you go there to offer feedback or report bugs, expect playtesters to just rub it in your face with comments like "it only took me 2 hours" or "we already knew that," rather than actually being helpful.
