Why us
Battery and size
How much space it takes and how quickly it drains a phone — both are in the review.
Offline first
Every review says plainly whether the game works on a plane or a train without signal.
We finish what we start
A review only goes up after at least a week with the game, not after ten minutes of the tutorial.
Ads and purchases, measured
We count how often ads interrupt play and what the paid version actually removes.

Casual
A slow gardening game with real waiting. Fine in short visits, tedious in long ones.
★★★★☆ 3.5
Strategy
Draw delivery lines across a growing town. Quiet, clever and unforgiving later on.
★★★★☆ 4.0
Cards
Classic card games with a decent offline opponent and no forced online play.

Garden Floor
★★★★☆ 3.5
Garden Floor asks you to visit twice a day and do very little each time. If that suits your week, it is pleasant company for a month.
- Two short visits a day
- Pretty, unhurried art
- Timers can be skipped for money
- Small download

Questions & answers
Why are there no scores out of ten?
A number without an explanation tells you nothing. We give a short verdict instead, and say who the game is for.
Can I republish your reviews?
A short quote with a link is fine. For anything longer, write to us first.
Do you accept payment for reviews?
No. We buy every game and every in-app purchase we write about, and we do not run sponsored posts.
How do you choose what to review?
Readers suggest most of them by email. The rest come from what we see people playing around us.
