Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It’s like the perfect blend of Animal Crossing’s charm, Minecraft’s building freedom, and Stardew Valley’s progression and heart, all wrapped up in a uniquely Australian world full of character, wildlife, and endless things to do.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The NPCs lack much unique dialogue, and feel kind of bland once you initially meet each one. overall, i'm pretty satisfied with the game, but there's always room for improvement
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
It’s honestly great both solo and with friends, even if co-op isn’t fully polished yet.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are as charming as it can be, and the room for creativity is boundless.

Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
Besides some occasional performance stutters, this game is absolutely perfect on the Steam Deck, almost as if it's some kind of a first party title.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
A charming soundtrack, whimsical details (like bombing kangaroos or fashion farming), and constant updates from the dev make it endlessly replayable. 93% positive on Steam isn't hype—it's fact.
