The value story
93 discounts in the 11 years on record, a median of 86 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $1.49 at 90 percent off still sits 204 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Value puts it in the top 4 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 90 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Kingdom: Classic (free, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats Farm Manager 2021 ($19.99, scores 51).

What players say
Point and click time-constrained resource management game, with a simple story, and 49 levels, that require you to build specific buildings and/or collect a specific amount of resources within a specific time. Good music and cute artwork. Very easy to play, and very relaxing. Does not offer much replayability beyond the available levels, though. A tad expensive for the content offered, but it is nevertheless...

Cute little game. I 100%ed it in just shy of ten hours. It's nice to occupy you for a little bit - I had been meaning to play this one for a long time! The icy forest area (second of four) is the hardest for some reason, lol. Since it's not very long, it might be fun to add a best time tracker. Lovely game!
I love strategy games like this, and gnomes garden was a wonderful one! I really enjoyed it, but it really played like a pc game on my steam deck, as I was only able to use the mouse pad. However, I can definitely recommend this.
