The verdict
A cheap, cozy, relaxing mushroom-network builder with lovely music and art, but short (2-3 hours), shallow late on, and laggy as the network grows. Skip it if you want depth or challenge.
Great for
Players wanting a cheap, chill, zone-out idler for an evening or two
Main risk
Content runs out in 2-3 hours, with tedious end goals and late-game lag
