Slow, but relaxing experience. You create different ecosystems; I think there's about eight or more? There is a ton of variety. Desert, jungle, tropical, mountains, even life in water. The plants help spread the ecosystems and allow for animals. The animals earn you points, so you can create more on your map. There is no pause option but you can speed the game up if your waiting for points or something to evolve. I believe it's meant to play as a slow, thoughtful experience. Not something you need to worry about time or rush through it.

The challenge comes from evolving your plants and animals. They have certain requirements to unlock. It felt fun and rewarding, rather than an obstacle. Not everything could evolve, but there's a good amount of content to explore. The size of the map is huge, enough for your to grow and experiment. My only struggle was knowing the altitude. I didn't see an obvious way to check if something was high or low enough to thrive. Sometimes I put a plant where it wasn't high or low enough and it would die quickly. Only time I had an issue. Otherwise, lovely game!

I loved the "simple" art style of the polygon inspired shapes and the animations. It's cute watching the animals hop around. Rewarding, adorable game.
