I wish I could play it but the menus are too big for my phone screen and I can't even navigate them to change the display settings to make the game playable :(
Gameplay and design5%
Difficult to even get to playing. It was so slow just to get through the opening scenes. I was bored within 30 seconds

Gameplay is fun11%
Its gameplay loop is practically perfect.
Lots of content and value9%
9 years later and it's still the most replayable game. I would've paid 10 times I did the first time for this incredible thing by ConcernedApe. This is what Harvest Moon could've been and more.

I slap a controller on my phone, and with a single stroke of the X button you DELETE ITEMS AND TOOLS FROM INVENTORY.

Not only is this game boring to play in single-player, but multi-player can't even be activated without millions of troubleshooting.
