Fun story and game
05/20/2024

Yay, I'm a llama!
This is a fun game and a nice way to spend some time. The illustrations are very good and the story is engaging. The options for customizing the gardens are really cool, I hope it will be possible to make some wild areas in the future versus being all formal. I like the additional stories you can do now. There are good side games as well, to keep things interesting and earn coins or stars. The developers did a good job adding more variety to the daily Top Cat game, it was repeating often and they’ve added more layouts (thank you!). I love the cat path game Dawn Patrol. One thing I wish it didn’t have, and this is a super small detail, is characters clapping when a task or item is completed. This reminds me of a certain other gardening game which has a really creepy guy. Simon is much more wholesome and shouldn’t need that cheesy gimmick. UPDATE: I love the weekly throwback videos! And I love that some animals from the story stay visible in the gardens once the story is complete. I keep checking the trees for owls and the dens for other creatures, just in case you add any. :) ALSO, can you make an “endless” game where there’s no time limit, you just try to get the highest score for as long as you are willing to play? Would be so fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Overall the game is one of the brightest stars in Apple Arcade and something other developers should aspire to!

I finally found a game I love. I like to play this type of game but usually give up or I get bored. This has a cute and interesting storyline that makes you interested in the end which of course you continue on to do so. In all the games I’ve played, this is the first I actually stayed with long enough that I came to the end. I wrote asking you about it and you assured me there would be more in the future and you have just updated and added in the sketches and building the ideas he comes up with and so far I’m enjoying but hope there will be more. I want to thank you for something else too. You have scenes that are difficult and have to have a certain amount of money or what have you to pass if you can’t cypher or beat using strategy. Thankfully you didn’t build in that we couldn’t beat it if we tried enough. In other words you didn’t make it impossible to continue on for those who don’t have excess mad money to spend on games or have to be a computer expert. I thank you for that because I was there now and then. Other games were never fun or interesting enough for me to try so hard, so often for so long. Thanks. Keep up the good work and add more chapters or a new game using the same ideas. I highly recommend.

Best Game of its Genre.

I have always had a love hate relationship with these types of games, because they always lure you in by making it really easy for the first ten or so puzzles, then make it more and more difficult until you have no choice BUT to spend real money to buy items to help you complete the levels. The beauty of this game is it has NONE of that. Sure, you can buy items if you want, but the game has been designed that if you fail enough times, it will make the level passable by giving you advantages from the gate, or by making combos more easy to achieve. On top of that, they have a mini game that basically is just hide and seek looking for gnomes, and each one gives money…with a good amount of boosts given at the end of each chapter. I am currently at 524 and while the story was cute, it’s really the puzzle mechanics in this game that keep me coming back along with the high quality graphics.

Side games are buggy.

The game itself, and the various chaptered stories the developer has added in the last year or so are cute, and function as they should. The challenges that run with the story progression and the 3000 plus levels work as expected. However, the ‘Top Cat’ game is incredibly buggy, as it relies on Apple’s leaderboard system, which has well-known problems. Players are often shown the wrong reward icon for their high score, or receive a much lower reward even if they earn a spot in the top ten. Either the leaderboard system can’t keep up with the ‘battle royale’ structure of the Top Cat game, and players are shown an ‘old’ score rather than a current ranking because something gets ‘stuck’ on the back end, or the programming itself for this particular part of Apple’s leaderboard system is broken. Why bother playing for a gold chest when at best, you’ll get a reward two tiers down, even if the leaderboard says your rank is high enough for the top prize? After one runs out of regular game levels, Top Cat is the only way to earn enough coin to play Midnight Feast for long enough to accumulate treat pieces. This needs work, and per a Reddit thread detailing the problem, the solution has to come from Apple, not Tactile Games. They have no control over the leaderboard system.
