I found thing game to be rather charming. I’ll admit, I didn’t quite understand everything I was supposed to do.
One thing I didn’t understand was the purpose of the fruits. I figured out I could pick them, but didn’t know if that was a good thing, or a bad thing. Even when I did pick the fruits, what was I to do with them?
I liked the idea of the insects and being able to swat them (swatting them was actually quite enjoyable), but I didn’t notice if they were even dangerous. I assumed they were, but in the beginning a couple insects were “eating” the main plant (because I didn’t know I had a swatter for a while), but I didn’t notice anything being “damaged” or regressing in any way. I eventually found the swatter, though, and swatted the bugs because… well… they were bugs and I had a swatter.
Lastly, I really liked the slow growth of the central plant. It was a really cool effect, in my humble opinion… but I wasn’t sure if I was meant to climb the plant or… Yeah, wasn’t sure. Nor was I particularly sure how to keep it growing. Was I supposed to only water the center plot the stalk was growing from, or did I have to maintain the fruit plants as well (I attempted the latter).
I think, with a bit clearer explanation of what needs to be done, this could be a very nice little relaxing game!
