Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It's a bit ridiculous to come into a puzzle game that positions itself as "try to prevent your island from sinking into the abyss" as its core gameplay premise and expecting it to be a peaceful breeze on your first try.

If you like the relaxing nature of Dorfromantik—the colourful graphics, themes of nature, and peaceful ambient soundtrack—then you'll get all of that here as well.

I've been playing the game off and on for about six months as of this writing and would like to help clear up some misconceptions about the game's perceived difficulty which has soured the experience for some.
