I was not expecting to enjoy playing a game that makes me fall asleep that much ! As silly as this may sound, this game was super soothing. I was expecting to just play it for 5min. Yet I ended up playing it for almost 30 (stopped because we had other demo to showcase).

The gameplay is rather simple where you click on birds and they give you seeds and gifts. Plant the seeds and open the gifts to get decorations for your island. the seeds can either grow as tree or bushes which you can then sell for crystals. With the crystal you can buy specific decorations for your island.

The island is (as far as i know) infinitely expandable. You can get tiles from birds or the merchant. Each tile can also be transformed to another material as they are always black stone when you buy them. you can either get: Light/dark grass, red/yellow sand.

I think my only critic would be that the assets are a bit low res when you zoom in. I believe I would also show a bit bigger of a tutorial to show a bit more substile things. For example, you unlock a fairy later in the demo and it very hard to guess if they thing she sells had any use to them. Turns out they are just placeable cosmetic like the rest of the items.

that is pretty much it for the gameplay loop for the demo. Though as simple as it may sound, It is super addictive. Rare are the demos I want to replay after i showcase them. But Garden & Birds was one of them.
