No way to get seeds

I got to the last level but don’t have enough seeds to finish it. I played the bonus levels but they don’t give seeds. I never got more than 50 seeds per level no matter how quickly I won a level. I never used any coins (currently have over 172,000 coins but didn’t get the achievement for collecting 100,00 coins) nor any boosters. Not sure if this has an impact.

Unfinished game

This would be a great game but unfortunately it seems to have been abandoned by its developers. The story is unfinished and the same event just repeats over and over. I don’t think it should be on Apple Arcade because the quality just doesn’t stack up with other games on here

Disons qu’on arrive rapidement au bout, ça doit faire un an que je suis bloquée dans le même jardin.

Needs an update

1) the achievement for earn 100,000 coins is bugged, I have over 200,000 and it hasn’t unlocked 2) no more new levels with still plants to unlock. Please update!

The most relaxing and visually refined match-3 game that I’ve played.

I love growing a garden through progression. I love the little facts about veggies that you can see within your catalogue. The feature of letting you zoom into your garden in the perspective of the animals is great. I like just leaving my iPad on the side with the screen being left on a wandering animal because its so pretty, especially with a fully grown garden. The actual gameplay is focused on making you feel good. Its very much on the easy side 200+ levels in and there are some overpowered combination of specials that can easily sway a level you could have had difficulty with. You won’t have to worry about being a perfectionist because your performance isn’t being graded. And the music within the levels are so elegant and well made. Hearing some of them for the first time gave me shivers. I don’t care much for the stories being told on each garden. The writing and dilemmas really don’t feel engrossing, in their 20 second-long chapters in between progressing. Its just alot worth skipping in my mind. - Also some of their levels resemble hate-symbols. You’d hope they’d be sensitive to this issue upon designing these levels, considering they are pros at this point.

Unable to get seeds

I have not received any seeds since I completed the final story level of Mushroom Garden. I didn’t receive anywhere near enough to complete even half of the plants. I’ve plays a few dozen bonus levels and have not received any seeds either. I cannot continue the story mode.

Calm!!
