Lake Kindred Origin 4+

A very calm game. Easy to enjoy with cute kin and other Gaia pets. HOWEVER. The only thing I dislike is that some kin are locked behind a paywall requiring the fruit that you have to pay for.
Many games like this include ways to EARN free paid perks. For example: Watch an ad daily to receive 5 crystals. Login bonuses for consecutive days. A “spin the wheel” type reward that you can use crystals to spin or watch an ad once per day for a free spin that gets you a gold fruit or some crystals or bonus exp. Plus, having ads in the game would net you revenue even for players who don’t spend a cent on the game and for people who DO you can have a minimum amount like after spending 5 dollars on crystals it makes the game ad-free.
At least this way the game would be POSSIBLE to get 100% of the kins for free if you played it long enough.

I am shocked to see Gaia making a comeback with gaming on mobile devices. It’s so great to see it’s come back to work on things even just a tap game. I didn’t realize it at first but then my first Kin was a Grunny. I was absolutely overcome with memories of times playing the old games there. Having fun and meeting people online there, relaxing in Hollywood, playing zomg, the slots and blackjack. It was all so amazing. If there was any way to bring Zomg to mobile I would be so excited to play again, and I’m sure the concept of it would bring many players to it. Making your own avatar, earning cosmetics, fighting the old bosses and leveling the rings. If there were any way to bring that to reality from the team there I would be able to enjoy those good nostalgic feelings of getting a party together to fight the enemies. I loved grinding in that game, it never dulled out for some reason. My favorite boss was the geisha dolls boss room, for some reason it was so nice. Please do bring that mobile, it would bring so much joy to old players and so much joy to new people. Thank you for some of the best years of a game of my life you guys there on the team, I owe you for how much happiness and entertainment you brought me throughout my middle school days.

as someone who has played a lot of cute lil idle collector type games, I don’t necessarily have any complaints about the lack of gameplay or anything, as I like the idea of being able to check up on my tree and upgrade what I can and return to whatever I’m doing otherwise and it’s a cozy break from whatever chaos my day may have lol (*´∀｀*) though it wouldn’t hurt to have mini game functions to increase player screen time!
however, the problem I do have is as some other reviews have also mentioned, after playing for some time the loading screen becomes infinite and you can no longer play the game without deleting it and downloading it again, thus restarting your progress :// so now it’s just sitting in my apps untouched because I don’t wanna lose my progress but can’t use it either! of course I know this wasn’t intended and is simply a bug but it’s definitely a pretty major one, so I thought I’d make sure to pile this review onto the other ones! wonderful game otherwise, but please please fix this!
