• 📰 Improved UI in v0.4.6 - 18 February 2026

  Playtesting showed that some players was confused with the combined task and diamond purchase view and they were absolutely correct. In the v0.4.6 update I've separated these into 2 different panels which hopefully will make it easier. I've also added a much requested feature, the ability to click the door and enter the house/shop.A lot of things have been added "behind" the scenes in this update, like the first version of the Steam integration. The game now tracks sold crops through Steam Stats and also has a Steam leaderboard, which however isn't visible yet in the game.

• 💦 Sprinklers added in v0.4.5 - 1 February 2026

  I've finally added water sprinklers to the game in the v0.4.5 update It is only available in the full version but helps a lot when managing larger gardens. When a sprinkler is placed the player will no longer water those tiles as the sprinkler is doing that job. You can also have multiple sprinklers that overlap and in that case they water the area faster. I'm very happy how the turned out both visually and mechanically. In this update I've also added a few more tasks which explains some of the stats upgrade you can do. The tutorial has been slightly improved but there is some more work needed in the onboarding process for new players.
