What makes this game a good time, despite the somewhat repetitive gameplay (collect; dig; collect; dig; hope what you actually need spawns) is the writing and the tongue in cheek humor. Kudos to the writing staff!

Also, the host of animals are rather precious, and it's fun to try to get a variety of achievements and whathaveyou. Also, as the other reviewers have noted, it is NON VIOLENT, which is very welcome. As someone who loves the Harvest Moon games, it's great to find another game that doesn't "level up" by killing and scouring for the best gear; you actually "crit" the other animals with charm!

This is a very good game; the play is entertaining and it is great to strive for "perfection" on each level.

Also, it's clear that the creators have a great sense of humor; the storyline is well written and gives you quite a chuckle!
