Mini Mini Granja 4+

Fantastically simple, amazingly unstressful, and remarkably fun! It hurts my wrist because I play it so much!
This game is exactly what it looks like, and I love it. And you can tell the developers made it for the love of the game, not as a cash grab. There’s no special currencies. There’s no in-app store for currency/item purchases (the only thing to buy is “removing ads”, which is very WORTH IT, even though there’s not that many ads, it streamlines the whole experience). It’s very unique for what essentially boils down to a —farming items, selling those items, then buying stuff to upgrade the town and improve resource collection, and repeat— game. Somehow they made it unique in both style and substance! Although I have only played through the first area, as of right now the only thing i can think of to improve it would be, and it’s not a huge deal, but it would be cool to be able to choose to be a female character (I’m sure it would just amount to a pixelated ponytail, but I still think it would be nice). I really appreciate games just like this one.

This game does exactly what I want. Something I can play nonstop without having to wait to charge energy points or whatever. It’s extremely stress free. Even the “urgent” sales to villagers aren’t that urgent, and it’s comforting. I really admire all the people who put their blood, sweat, and tears into this game. It would be cool if I could watch the villager walk around the town once you buy it but I get why he doesn’t. Though, my lil’ guy is a little lonely. He needs an animal buddy. If I were on the team I’d suggest a cat. A Tom cat that you find in a new space or in the woods. He just kinda follows you around while kinda also doing his own thing. I haven’t gotten past the second area yet so it might already be a thing.
Anyways! As someone who is always looking for the perfect phone game this is definitely my top one.

As the title screen says "coffee break" this has been a fun time waster at work between tasks. I enjoy the simple 1-tap and the easy "pick-up and put-down" gameplay.

Occasionally a little buggy, like trying to open chests (after purchasing both support iap) it needs 3-4 cycles of 1) click open 2) nothing happens before I get my reward.

I also think it could use some more plain stone loot options. I notice that for every house, I spend most of my time grinding for stone more than anything else. So I can't accept any stone "villager requests" if I want to be remotely close to the required amount.

Turning in artifacts after completing the collection also seems frivolous. It costs 500g and 5 copper to get a new one, but only get 150g reward for turning in. Big waste of money and resources.

Lastly, I spent a bunch of gold upgrading the chest and villager in the first house, but even after level 10 on both, I see no discernable difference from when he was level 1. Feels like the mechanic isnt working or maybe isn't implemented well to feel like actual progress is made. Maybe if the villager was actually seen walking around collecting and putting the stuff into the bin, with a visible "cap" to how many items go in, it would feel way more engaging and lively. And it would feel like the villager and chest levels actually do something.
