Kinda like Harvest Moon, but on the phone!
Cute little mobile game that got me hooked for a while until progression got really boring. Has all the mechanics one can think of when it comes to a country life game: farming, fishing, rearing animals, bug catching, mining, and of course making friends with NPCs. The most interesting mechanic would be the energy system, whereby there are 2 bars: 1 for expendable energy that you can use now, and stored energy which will convert into expendable energy every few minutes. In order to gain energy, the character has to eat, which fills up both bars depending on the type of food consumed. Players have the option to purchase a digestion potion which instantly turns stored energy into expendable energy. Other monetization aspects include dressing up your character with gear that can help boost daily activities, buying supplies / resources to upgrade the farm, food items that restore energy.
Art style is cartoon-ish, cute, using highly saturated and bright colors to bring out a cheerful, upbeat mood. Icons are colorful, and shapes are all round, giving a friendly, approachable feel to the interface. The panels are slightly more muted compared to the HUD, with brown and cream as the main colors. UX wise, functions are compartmentalized properly, information is clear, and use of icons are appropriate. Overall use of simple gradients, no textures.
