I didn’t quite expect to be re-reviewing this game, but I am glad I am able to give this game a positive review. After about a year of near radio silence from the devs, they updated the game, keeping the main gameplay loop of the old version, but adding quite a few new features and overall just made the game a much more enjoyable experience. If you had this game a year ago and are wondering if you should return to it, I’d definitely say yes. For anyone who never played the original version, but is looking for a short and sweet (roughly 20 hour) experience that combines both idle and base building gameplay, I’d say give it a go. The devs seem like they now intend on routinely updating the game, and as of this review that have been following through with their promise. One last thing before I end this review, if you do end up getting the game, you get to experience pretty much everything you can do in the game before you pass the two hour refund mark, so if you don’t enjoy it in the first two hours, you can know you probably won’t enjoy it and vis versa. I left my original review below if you’re interested on why I originally rated the game negatively.

Fairly small and uncomplicated idle game.
Progress can be sped up by manually clicking, but it functions quite well on its own for quite a long time before more upgrades are needed to make more progress.
My one big problem with the game (at the time of release; this is an early access) is that there isn’t enough information behind some of the upgrades. Some upgrades will state a percentage, but not telling me if the bonus is additive or multiplicative with other upgrades on the same building. Speed increase upgrades are equally secret. No information on whether it reduces time by percentage or seconds. This makes it difficult to discern which upgrades are worth going for.

The Islander
At first I thought this game was a tad bit shit, with zero tutorial and a little character who does nothing but run in a confused manner around on paths you set down. But here I am, currently 33 hours into the game, trying to collect all of the awards. I did not, for one second, think that it would be that difficult to collect 28 achievements, but as the items grow higher in price, it’s suddenly very difficult. At some points you have to pay 234K for a singular chicken who will provide you with 150 coins at most. That being said, taking the price into consideration, it was not a waste of money. There is little content, with about five items in each section being slowly unlocked, yet there is enough to satisfy the small price tag.

Its a dumbed down version of the farming in stardew valley. If youve played any clicker game, Youll figure out the game in no time. Appears to be easy to ideal play once you get a cocobot or two, and is relaxing. Great for casually passing the time.
Doesnt tell you anything in terms of what to do, but like i said if youve played a clicker game, its that concept. The option menus has symbols but no text to tell you what the symbols mean. so I had to take a hopeful guess at which one was save.
The game works smooth in windowed mode, but when I put it into full screen, it because slow and choppy. And steam achievements arent progressing or popping at the moment. This may be a bug

Voodoo Garden
This little title had the potential to be a really good idle game.
Voodoo Garden lures you in with its cute art style and interesting setting that sets it apart from other similar clicker games. The premise is simple; earn gold from the creation of stereotypical voodoo-styled items that uses various ingredients (flowers, leaves, fruit, nuts and animal parts), you then use your resulting income to buy more plants, totems to attract animals and other assorted upgrades. Along the way you can purchase, raise and sacrifice a number of domestic animals to build up a work force of spirits. These spirits then aid you in the growth and collection of more plant based materials. From the outset gameplay seems simple and enjoyable (insofar as idle, clicker games go) until one begins to notice the flaws that slowly creep in. While I’ve tried my best to weigh the pros and cons of Voodoo Garden (see the very end of this review), there are, at least in my opinion three major faults in the game that demand elaboration.

When I bought Voodoo Garden I didn’t realize it was really a clicker game. That is OK though- I like clicker games. What I don’t like, however, are bad clicker games.
Unfortunately Voodoo Garden just doesn’t work for me. Some parts are ok: the art is nice and consistent, the music and sound effects are very good, and the overall vibe is nice. But the actual game is lacking in some key ways.
The game’s biggest problem is just that it is very shallow. There is very little to customize and the upgrades are few and far between. The mechanics are very simplistic and also, unlike other clicker games I’ve played, unless the game is open it doesn’t continue to collect things for you.

Critter Clicker
Ok; I agree with reviews stating this is not a clicker game. Maybe ‘Idle Critters’ would be a better name. But I don’t agree that this makes it completely pointless and not worth the money don’t even have to spend on it.
I actually really liked it; trying to get all the upgrades and embiggen your farm is fun.
Plus, despite being a bit ‘bare bones’, once you get used to the interface it definitely has a quirky charm that I actually found far more pleasant than a lot of the more ‘polished’ idle/clicker games out there.

There is nothing to this game. Great at first but once you unlock the very minimal amount of things there is to unlock that it for the game.
If the game gets a major overhaul update I will reverse this to recommend.
Edit the 80+ hours are from mostly leaving it on overnight for a few nights… really only spent maybe an hour at most configuring things.
Sure it is free but if the developer added way more stuff I would pay something for this game because in the beginning it is fun.

Palladise Island(帕拉小島)
I just finished the game with 100% completion so I feel qualified enough to write this review.
Palladise Island is a simple idle/clicker game in which you collect and evolve many different creatures known as PA. The core gameplay is passively waiting for silver coins to upgrade your buildings to earn more silver coins and upgrade your intimacy bar (the PA’s level/XP Bar) to evolve and unlock more PAs. There is also a building that allows you a chance to randomly get rarer/more expensive items but you’ll probably upgrade this last. You can also click the PAs to earn intimacy faster, thus levelling up faster.

Mine Crazy: The Korean Grinder
I like to play this game when i’m bored and plan to play it more, but i don’t like how it doesn’t save your data, though i do find it fun to speedrun because it resets the data.
so maybe a way to save/delete your data?!

Plantera 2: Golden Acorn
The round blue Mellows return to tend to the garden once more and grow the big magical oak tree that have been rumored to have placed its seed there. Build up your garden around the tree to attract Mellows, round blue creatures that will help you pick up things and harvest your plants.
Tend to the oak tree and grow it to the sky to harvest its Golden Acorns.
Adorn your garden with decorations and watch as your garden grow more lush than ever before with new plants, bushes and trees and get populated by new animals, both in the sea, on the ground and in the sky.
If you want you can pluck trees and harvest plants yourself, or let your Mellows do the work for you while you watch or build and invest in new plants. The Mellows will even continue to work and tend to the garden while you are not playing the game!
As you play you will unlock new items and as you continue to expand and improve your garden your magic oak tree will grow even bigger with it, soon reaching its crown to the sky and beyond!
Plantera
This is a cute, psuedo-clicker that is extremely simple compared to many of the other titles in the Clicker genre. Everything goes together very nicely. The only problem is that it’s mostly a quest to complete the achievements, and then there isn’t much to do. The garden gets maxed out. The upside is that it doesn’t require micro-transactions (I’m looking at you, Clicker Heroes, Adventure Capitalist, etc) to “complete” the game.
The idea is to build a garden with 3 layers of plants (trees in back, bushes in the middle, and vegetables in the front) to harvest, as well as animals to get “produce” from, such as wool, milk, eggs, and random stuff the pigs dig up. There are various critters that will try to interrupt the farming. Wolves and foxes will scare the animals, rabbits will steal vegetables, and birds will fly away with one produce item. Obviously this has minimal impact on the overall output, and they don’t really add much except something else to look at.

Create, expand and watch your garden grown in this super addictive and totally adorable casual clicker game.
Introduction
Plantera is a simple and highly addictive clicker game, where the basic objective is to build and expand your own garden. As your garden grows, you collect more coins which allow you to further boost your garden (and coin collecting efficiency). Boosters can be bought with the coins, which allow higher value of produce, collecting coins when the game isn’t running for larger periods (I can currently leave my game for 12 hours, and come back to a large sum of coins waiting for me!), and guard dogs and scarecrows to scare away the critters trying to steal your produce! Though I’m not generally a fan of clicker games, I have really enjoyed Plantera thus far.
