Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The visuals of the buildings are very detailed and nice, it is nice change from other games which have just *pop a building*, here you can see the whole process of building the slot, plus people growing their own garden is something I really really liked, thats very nice touch, so all that is very interesting, thoughtful and clearly made with love, but visuals overall are lacking.
