Tiny Garden is a charming farming simulation game that captures the nostalgic spirit of Polly Pocket. Set inside a virtual plastic clamshell inspired by the popular nineties toy, players are immersed in a whimsical world where they can cultivate crops and create their own mini garden ecosystems.
Developed by Ao Norte from Spain, this adorable game envisions a world where the iconic Polly Pocket dioramas serve as fertile grounds for growing various crops. By sowing seeds and turning the handle on the toy, players can watch as carrots, lettuces, and other plants flourish within the miniature landscapes.
The main objective of the game is relaxation and customization, without the pressure of scores or challenges. Harvesting crops yields more seeds, providing opportunities to discover new plant species, including rare shiny plants reminiscent of Pokemon. Players can also enhance their garden with furniture and decorations obtained through crop trading.
Certain plants have the ability to transform the grid-like terrain, allowing for the cultivation of different environments such as arid deserts for cacti, lush grasslands for bushes, or water features for aquatic flora like water lilies.
Despite being described as a compact game by a small team, Tiny Garden offers a delightful experience for those seeking a relaxing and enjoyable pastime. The game has already surpassed its funding goal on Kickstarter and is slated for release on Steam and Itch.io in February next year.
