- Hello and welcome back, my beautiful Froggy Army, to another video.
And we are here continuing our quest to play bite-size,
super cute and cozy little indie games here on the channel.
It's just something that has been bringing me a lot of joy lately,
and I feel like this game that we're playing today is gonna bring me so much joy.
We are playing Tiny Garden. This game looks so cute.
I am so excited to get into it.
You know that I love gardening and farming games, so this is definitely up my alley.
The lovely folks over at Super Rare Games, you know, the people who made this game,
were kind enough to give me a Steam code to try it out, so I was able to receive a game key.
Let's go ahead and get into it.
We're gonna start a new game
and you're gonna see why I have been very interested to play this.
Previous, the next message, click to continue. Gotcha.
Let's see.
We're gonna open it up.
Oh my gosh, I'm so excited!
I'm so excited!
The second I saw visuals for this game, I was like,
"Oh yeah, I need to try that."
So we are basically making tiny gardens in these terrarium type of little thingies, if you wanna call it that.
They remind me of those classic little Polly Pocket houses that you would open up.
I had a few of them and I was obsessed with those.
So this game is just, like, total childhood nostalgia to me. I love it.
But okay, we gotta rotate the crank to advance one turn.
Each plant may require a different number of turns to grow.
Gotcha. So we're growing them.
We're growing them with the crank.
I think it's grown now.
I think I cranked it enough, so let's pick it.
Nice! Oh my gosh. All right. We've got the seed price.
This seed can only grow in these terrains. Interesting.
Okay, okay, so they've got certain conditions and stuff.
The usual, the usual.
So let's plant our next seed.
There we go. Let's turn that crank. Let's do it.
Okay, that one took two cranks for our cactus here.
So this generates desert terrain in a cross.
Interesting.
Okay. Certain plants such as the cactus modify the terrain.
As long as the plant remains on the ground,
the terrain will not return to its original state.
Okay, good to know.
Can I buy more plants? No.
Or seeds? No. We have to pick our cactus first, duh.
Let's get some more of those.
Now we've only got one spot to plant our carrot.
That's fine. That's fine.
Let's just grow our little carrots. There you go.
For babies and rabbits.
For babies? Oh my gosh.
Well, I love carrots. I guess I'm a baby though.
Goo goo gaga. I love carrots.
Okay, we unlocked the basic collection now. I'm excited.
What's that gonna be? Show me. Show me. Basic collection.
We've got new decorations and new customization elements.
Heck yeah. So you can also decorate with furniture in this game,
and I'm sure we'll unlock that in just a bit.
Right here, maybe? (gasps) Yes. Oh my gosh, I'm so ready.
So the bottom is gonna be our garden, and the top is gonna be like our house area.
"Now we gotta get more seeds and grow our garden.
There are many surprises to discover.
Get started with these free seeds." Thank you.
Oh, I love free stuff.
Okay, so we can buy different terrains or unlock them.
Maybe this is just the, the collection of them.
I don't know, but look at that.
We've got furniture and stuff.
Oh yes! We've got little stickers, colors.
I am so excited to get into it.
Okay, so we have a lot of seeds now.
Let's go ahead and plant, um, I don't know how many cactuses I want
because they're gonna turn it into sand,
and I've got a lot of other stuff that can't do the sand.
You know what I mean? So let's just stick with these and let's turn it.
There we go! Those are all good to go. Thank you.
And we also have some camera controls, which is nice.
Okay, we can zoom in. We can zoom out.
We can pan around, and then we can rotate.
Nice. Okay. That's really nice.
I like that we can get different views here of our little terrarium.
I see this paintbrush in the corner. What can we do?
"Here you can place the furniture and decorations you've purchased.
You can place as many as you want." Oh, sick. Say no more.
"From here, you'll be able to apply different skins to the case or objects.
Customize your toy as you like.
The same skin can be applied separately to the toy case, plants, and decorations."
Oh, heck yeah.
Oh, and these are stickers we could put on the outside!
Oh, I did buy a bunch of stickers
and I didn't realize I was spending money to do it.
I thought I was just like unlocking them.
So let's place one. We've got this little kitty.
Oh my goodness. We can change how big or small it is.
Let's make it ginormous. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
And we've also got this guy, he looks great.
We're gonna put him right next to the kitty.
And we've also got this guy. He's also cute.
All right. Our stickers are looking good. They're looking good.
Oh, this is cute. This little little Easter egg down here
of all the people who worked on the game.
That's sweet!
Oh, and you can press and hold the middle mouse button, the scroll button
and move it around like that, which I think is a little bit easier.
Okay, cool. Well, stickers.
So we've also got one singular lamp that we can use to decorate.
So let's throw it on this lamp here.
Right there. Oh!
Oh my gosh. (laughs)
"Hello, little one.
We have disembarked in a city where the sky's infinite and blue, and the clouds look fake.
I think you would like it.
This time I'm sending you a toy I've made.
I hope it arrives safe and sound." Aw, that's sweet.
So I guess everything that we're planting in
and putting our decorations in is the toy that they sent.
Okay. How can we customize? I wonder.
Can we customize this lamp?
Maybe I have to do that after I buy it. I don't know.
We'll just leave it like that for now.
So it looks like probably the next thing we gotta try to work towards is this little recipe over here.
It looks like we have to get a potato, so I'm gonna try to get a potato.
In the meantime, I do have enough to change the colors or buy a color.
So I'm gonna do that.
Once we select the color in our menu,
we can change our little capsule.
(gasps) That's so cute! I love it.
We could also change the furniture. Okay, there we go. There we go.
We can change the crops too? That's funny.
I just don't have any down right now.
Okay, well, back to planting.
I guess I'll plant some cacti,
even though it's gonna make it sand, but it's fine.
We'll plant some carrots too. Let's turn the crank.
There we go. Grow our cacti.
Oh look, our plants are purple now!
Oh my gosh, that is so funny.
I think I'm gonna make them unpurple because I just like them being their normal colors.
I love them how they are, you know?
Looks like our potato is right here.
So to get to that, we need to unlock four different types of seeds first.
So let's do this next one. Let's see what that is.
Oh, I guess it's a mystery.
It doesn't show up on the top, so we just have to plant them and turn the crank.
Oh, they're little bushes. Oh, they're hydrangeas!
Awe! Very cute.
Oh my gosh. And we can make them purple and blue.
And these make lush terrain,
which is the little Minecraft block dirt lookin' one.
Well, we can already unlock the next one so I'm gonna do that.
Let's see. We're planting them.
We're growing them.
(gasps) Do we have lettuce? Yes! Let's go.
"May contain a small worm. Please treat him with care."
Please. Please.
Guys, if you were worms, I would still want you as my audience.
Okay? Just need to let you know.
We're getting close to the potato.
I'm gonna just grab more seeds.
Let's just get to planting as many as possible.
We'll do some turnips, and we'll do some of the lettuce, and more turnips.
And one cactus. (laughs)
Now we turn the crank. Ooh!
"Your vegetables can wither when the soil in their tile is no longer suitable for that plant.
If you recover a valid soil for the plant, it'll stop being withered.
But if it continues to wilt after three turns of the crank, the plant will become compost.
Oh no! Guys, no. I'm just gonna pick them. They're fine.
They're fine. Just wash that off. Wash that off. They're okay.
Let's unlock the next one here.
It kinda looks like a little lily pad Pacman thing.
I wonder what this is.
Oh, I can't plant it on any of these.
Hmm, interesting. It needs this type of soil.
It's like water.
I wonder if it needs the lush soil that the hydrangea makes.
Oh, and I never unlocked this plant right here.
Well, that's awkward.
Okay, well, the only thing I can buy right now are cactuses.
So we'll grab some cactuses.
I'm just gonna farm some cactuses for a bit.
Beautiful cactus harvest. Oh, yes.
Now we can unlock the mystery seeds that I never unlocked.
Whoopsies. Whoopsies. Can these be planted here? No?
Ugh.
Okay. I'm gonna try planting some of the hydrangeas.
They're gonna make that nice, nice little dirt.
Can these go here? Yes! Okay. Those can go there.
What about the lily pad looking ones?
No.
I think they are just lily pads and they just straight up need water.
You know what I mean?
I think that is what we need to kinda figure out here, how to get the water.
But anyways, let's see what these other ones are.
We'll turn the crank.
We've got dandelions! Awe! Sweet! Okay.
Oh, and they are not happy right now. That's okay.
Just pick them and ignore it happened.
I'm also occasionally getting seeds from this little thing right here, which is very nice.
Sometimes I just don't have any materials or resources to buy the next ones, so that's kind of nice.
Okay, we've got another collection to unlock.
Let's see. We got the farm collection.
Ooh! A bunch of new crops and new decorations.
Oh my gosh, yes. Oh, what's happening? (gasps)
We're getting more land! Let's go! Let's go!
Oh my gosh, so this is a whole other tab with all kinds of different seeds.
Okay. Maybe one of these will make the water?
I... I don't know.
Up here in our little tab, we can switch between these different crop types.
Cool. Or the collections, whatever. So let's just get to plantin'.
Let's see what these new farm ones are like.
Ooh, onions! (laughing)
I love the little comments. Thank you for the onions. Thank you.
Let's plant a nice big crop here.
I also grabbed four of these new seeds that I just unlocked from the farm collection.
And oh, we got two more turnips from the box.
I will go ahead and throw those in. Thank you.
Look at our little farm. It's coming together.
Ooh, cabbage!
"Ideal for feeding piggies and people with few taste buds."
The shade. If you love cabbage, I am so sorry.
Oh my gosh, well, we just skipped straight over the lily pad and we unlocked our potato.
There we go!
Well, I'm not gonna complain about that for sure.
Let's plant- Oh, we can't plant the potato.
Okay, does it need sand? Let's figure this out.
Let's do some experimenting.
Does it need sand?
Potato? Go in the sand? Nope. Okay.
Does it need sand?
We might need the hydrangea bushes again.
Let's grab those.
Bushes, come to life. Give me good dirt. Thank you.
The potatoes don't like this either.
How am I supposed to plant my potatoes?
Maybe we need to unlock some other kinda dirt with the, like, farm collection.
So I'll just keep going with the farm seeds
and hope that that guides us in the correct direction.
But in the meantime, I think we have earned some decorating.
You know, look at all these cute, cute little decorations.
What should I get? I don't know.
Oh my gosh. I want this fish so bad. I want that little fishy.
Anything we can unlock, let's just grab it.
You know, anything that's got a little button. Let's do it.
We've also got new colors.
I'll grab a color and a new weather that we can do.
Okay, let's see this new color. What do we think?
Ooh, that's cute! I like that.
Now let's put some of our decorations,
although we don't really have too much, but that's okay.
We'll put this little cactus guy.
And a little dandelion also.
You know what? Let's put them on the same side.
That'll be like the little plant section.
And we've got our little banners. Very cute. Very cute.
There we go. I did take the, like, purple-blue color off of them.
Oh, we've got a letter. "Hello."
"How have things been in your world lately?
I've been doing a little gardening myself, and I'm loving it.
Missing you so much, but I know that you'll be home soon, so that keeps hope alive for me.
Can't wait to see your handsome face when you finally do come home,"
I'm gonna run straight to you and give you the biggest hug.
Well, I'm gonna cut this letter short. Until next time my love."
Oh, thank you so much. I don't care about that.
I care about these seeds that you just gave me. Thank you.
Oh my gosh.
We just unlocked, I think what we needed, which is a fountain,
and it generates three water logged tiles in a row.
Okay. I think that's what we needed.
I think that's what we needed.
So let's grab our fountain and we'll stick it in the middle there.
Oh, interesting. When it's the sand, it becomes, like, muddy.
And when it's not, then it just becomes water?
Very interesting. Okay, now I think that we can finally plant some of our mystery crops.
Yes. Yes! And the potatoes!
Oh my gosh, the potatoes can go there on the mud! Let's go.
We'll plant these extra carrots too.
Turn that crank.
There we go. Oh, yes, it is just a water lily pad.
So cute. Well, we've got that.
Let's keep going for our potato.
"Saving countries one at a time."
Love a potato. Love a potato.
Oh, oh. Get that out of there.
Gimme my lily pad. Oh, yes.
All right, I went through a couple turns of the crank just to get some more crops going and stuff.
And this is fun.
It's like a little puzzle now because you have to make certain types of terrain
and dirt so certain crops can grow.
It's fun. And look at this, we've got a shiny, nice little golden carrot right there.
Oh my goodness. Let's harvest that.
I wonder if that's for anything special.
I guess we'll find out, huh?
Well now my carrots have this cute little shiny next to them.
Interesting. And we do have more furniture to unlock like a stool and a chair.
Wonderful. I'm making my way to you, little fishy.
Momma's coming. Momma's coming. Okay. We've got a new crop.
I wonder if it's an apple. I wonder. Oh...
Oh, it's not an apple. (laughs) It's a bell pepper.
I thought it was gonna be an apple. Oh my gosh.
Well, we've got our bell peppers.
I keep forgetting that we have the farm collection. We have new seeds.
We have new seeds that we can potentially do.
I don't know what this mystery one is gonna need. Hmm.
Well, I guess let's just plant these.
I'm assuming one of them is gonna be wheat or corn.
I guess I just don't know vegetables.
Okay, I went ahead and made some different terrains.
So let's see what this other crop is gonna need.
We need, oh, we need, like, the muddy stuff. Okay, gotcha.
What are you? Let's see.
A sweet potato! Awe, nice.
That kinda looks like a beet, but sure. Sweet potato.
We got another tool to unlock. Let's see.
We've got a seed box poster.
"A sign that things can always get better."
What does that do? Let's go see.
We don't have one in our inventory.
Oh, it's right here. L-O-L. L-O-L.
Okay, maybe this is requesting specific types of seeds from in here.
I think that's how that's gonna work. Which is nice.
'Cause before it just giving me like the standard stuff
but now we can get like the farm seeds and stuff like that.
Oh, we've got another poster to unlock.
Anything else? No?
More stickers though.
I don't think we need any more stickers right now.
I really wanna get to that goldfish.
Alright, it looks like we've got the next collection, the Wild Collection.
Let's see, what did we get? (gasps) Strawberries! Awe!
Oh my gosh. I am so ready.
And we get more terrain and we get more terrain. Let's go.
Oh my gosh. What's our first one?
Is that a little, like a little raspberry? Let's see.
Turn that crank baby! (gasps) Yes! So cute!
And it makes the lush terrain too. Nice.
Let's see what the next one is. I just unlocked it.
Let's turn that crank.
It's just grass!
It's grass!
"Turns the tile in which it is planted into fertile ground."
Okay. I'm sure we're gonna need that for something eventually, right?
I'm planting more raspberries. Cute! Cute, cute, cute.
Can we unlock the next one yet? We can.
That just looks like a cute little fern. I love it.
Let's grab that one. Ooh! And we can do the next one.
Let's see, we've got our little fern,
and then we've got this one, which conveniently needs that type of soil.
Let's see what we got.
We've got just a fern. "Friend of the dinosaurs."
And it's invasive.
"This will spread through the garden little by little." Interesting.
And a fox glove! That is so pretty. Awe!
And I can already unlock this little cute plant for it.
Oh my gosh. Portable version. Thank you.
We don't need stickers. What other colors do we have?
Ooh, I wanna get this like pink and blue one. That looks cute.
But I'll get that. That also looks nice.
Oh, we never played around with the new like weather.
Oh, I did not mean to exit.
We never played around with the weather.
Oh my gosh. I didn't know we had this either.
Cute little like letter storage. Well, I'm unlocking them.
I don't know what this means, but I'm unlocking them.
Hey guys. Hey friends.
Anyways, what I've been trying to do is we had these atmospheres.
Oh! It just changes the background. Cool. I like the blue.
It's very, it's very nice. Very naturey feeling.
Let's look at this new capsule color. That's cute.
But you know what?
I really like the yellow, like against the green, for some reason.
Let's try the furniture. That looks interesting.
I guess let's go ahead and put more of this furniture.
We've got our little poster.
We've got another plant to add to the mix.
We've got table and chair. Oh my goodness.
Let's rotate this little cutie. Put it here by the steps.
Same with this. And yeah, that's all we got.
That's all we got for right now. We've got a letter.
Oh my gosh. It looks like we've got a clue for something.
Okay. And I dunno what to do with that yet, but thank you.
Thank you.
Okay. Just planted a whole bunch more crops.
Let's turn that crank. Ooh, we got a golden bush! Oh my gosh.
Look at that. Let's harvest all of these.
And then I've still got some mystery crops that I don't know what they need yet.
We've got the wheat looking one.
Still haven't figured that out. And this one.
Oh, okay. That just goes there on that soil. What about here?
No mysteries. Well, let's turn the crank just for that one plant.
Let's see what it is. Oh, one more. One more.
Oh no, it's dying! What do I do? (laughs)
Oh no, please come back to me please.
I don't know how to fix it!
I turned it one more time and now it's fertilizer.
That's kinda sad. Well, we got a new crop.
We've also got peas. I love peas. They're great.
They're fantastic.
Okay, I think I figured something out.
So we can buy a second fountain.
So if we select this and we maybe rotate it.
I did see somewhere a little graphic
of two water fountains, like on either side kind of.
So if we put the other one like this, then yes,
it makes this new type of terrain right here in the middle.
And I think that we have something that needs to go in there that I couldn't figure out.
Was it these? Yes. Yeah. There we go!
Okay, let's see what these are that I haven't been able to plant this whole time.
Rice! Amazing. Love it.
And with the rice, we unlock something new.
That looks like clover or something.
It doesn't go on any of these tiles.
So back to experimenting and figuring out what dirt that needs.
Well, I think it tells you on the top corner, right?
This is what it needs. Correct?
So it needs the fertilized stuff, which means it needs the ferns.
Let's test this theory. So we'll put down the ferns.
We'll crank it up. Crank it up.
We harvest them and then we try it and it doesn't work.
Okay. There's a menu here.
Fertilized.
We need this. This right here. I think that's in the tools.
Yeah, it's a gnome. Okay. We need this mystery plant.
Okay. Where is that mystery plant?
It's right here. Okay.
We can do this. Guys, we can do this.
We're in the home stretch.
In the home stretch to what exactly? I, I don't know. I don't know.
Okay, let's unlock the mystery plant. Please just go down easy.
No, it never does. It never does.
What does mystery plant need? The lush. The lush.
Get the bushes in here. The bushes have got to go to work.
They need to clock in.
Seriously. They've been no shows for like three weeks in a row.
What's going on? The stores drowning.
We need you bushes.
Okay, thank you. Thank you, bushes. You put in the work.
Oh no! These are dandelion problems again.
How do I keep it long enough for it to grow?
Okay. Okay.
I just experimented so much and I think I finally got it. (laughing)
I got it.
So it turns surrounding area, these bushes, into the green stuff.
So I need to plant them.
And then we plant our daisies, right?
Or whatever this is gonna be.
And then we need to get more of the bushes, which I don't have.
But then we plant the bushes
and it'll turn them green to stay green for the other crank.
I'm pretty sure that's the puzzle that I'm supposed to figure out.
Now I just need, what did I need again?
Oh yeah, I need carrots. Okay, we've got carrots.
We've got carrots.
So we should be able to plant some.
And we do one crank and they're fine. Okay.
We buy more bushes. We buy more bushes. It's fine.
We're gonna plant these everywhere around them so that they stay green.
Yes. One more crank. Yes. Yes, yes!
The sunflower! Oh my gosh. We did it.
Oh, that was a brain teaser for sure.
That was a brain teaser. My brain?
So teased right now.
Let's reward ourselves with a little bit of shopping.
I did unlock the pink and blue color. I'm gonna grab that.
I'm gonna grab this beautiful yellow.
We've got some more different times of day.
I like this little blue one for the ambience.
We've got little sunflower pendants. Oh my gosh.
We've got a table, which I can't buy anymore 'cause I used all my spending money.
Oh, we've got so many stickies. Oh my gosh. The coos.
These are all from different little indie games, aren't they?
Or some of these. I'm pretty sure. This one's A Short Hike.
And I've seen that goose before.
I've seen 'em somewhere maybe in my dreams.
Oh no, I think it's a duck. I think it's a duck.
Anyways, let's place our new materials.
We've also got a desk, so wonderful.
I think let's make this area up here.
Can we fit this desk up here?
And make it like a little office space?
Kind of?
Okay, it just barely fits in here, but let's see if we can do that.
And can we fit a chair? Yes.
It's hanging off the edge quite precariously, but that's okay.
We'll put the other little flag there.
We've also got a barrel. Look at that. Look at that.
I thought I could maybe bring it, like, down to the garden area, but I guess not.
Where do we want this to go? I guess up here.
It doesn't need to be accessible. It's fine.
And I think let's put another barrel right here
and let's put this on top of it.
Oh, we can. We can.
Okay. Let's change the colors of those items though.
Let's see what we would like.
The yellow is very interesting.
Okay, we got the pink and blue. Very bright. Very bright.
I don't know if any of these are particularly calling to me right now.
Let's just leave them as normal, I would say.
But let's try our capsule. We've got the yellow yellow.
Oh, I like that. And we've got the red and blue.
I also like that.
And we've got, I think we had this one before.
Let's do the red and blue or the pink and blue. That's nice.
And our different atmospheres.
We've got, ooh! We've got straight up clouds back here.
Ooh, I like that one. I like that one.
Oh my gosh, it's feeling so fun and fresh in here. I love it.
I really do enjoy the concept of, like,
having our little Polly Pocket trinket to decorate and all that good stuff.
Very cute. Very cute.
And with that, I can unlock the gnome.
There you go.
And he makes a straight line that generates leafy ground.
Okay. A little fertilized looking ground. Got it, got it.
Let's get this little gnome in here.
I think I have to rotate him.
Yeah, let's have him go this way.
And we will move the fountain as a well just in case.
Oh, this little hidden beet back there. I didn't even realize.
So if I turn the crank, there he goes.
Oh my gosh, he just hops around.
Look at him. He's jumping. Oh my gosh.
Okay, so now.
Now we can plant something, right?
We can plant our clovers? Yes! Finally. Finally.
Ooh. It increases the probability of attaining shiny vegetables.
Good to know. Thank you, clovers. Thank you.
I'll just grab some more there.
Oh my gosh. We are getting so far now.
And look at that.
It did indeed increase our chances.
We've got a little shiny raspberry.
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much.
Thank you, clover.
You're putting in so much hard work today.
You are clocked in. Clover is clocked in today.
And we have unlocked the next collection, which is the garden collection.
Let's see, new decorate-
Is that a froggy table? See, I knew this game was good.
I knew this game was good.
And we got some more farming space. Thank you. Thank you.
Oh my goodness, and we've got a new level to decorate!
Let's go! (laughs)
Excuse me. Excuse me.
I don't care about the crops. Take me to the froggy table.
(gasps) It's glorious.
It's glorious!
And there we go. Now we can save our garden.
I'm just gonna call it Raven's Farm.
(laughs) There we go.
So when we go back to the main menu actually,
you can access your garden and you can actually just do it in free play mode.
So now we can just freely decorate and freely plant and all of that good stuff.
And we don't have to, like, do all the resources and everything.
So it looks like we have everything that we already unlocked, unlocked,
but it's not like we unlocked extra things.
So I guess that's nice.
I thought it was gonna be kind of like spoilers, you know?
But no, it's just what we already have,
including our furniture, I assume.
Yeah. So it's not like it unlocks new stuff.
I thought it was gonna be, like, just straight up jumping ahead a bunch, but not really.
I think this game is super fun. It's very chill. It's very cute.
I do really love the concept of just decorating in this little capsule.
I think it's so unique. So check it out!
That's gonna be it for me today.
Thank you so much for joining me.
I hope you enjoyed watching me play this game.
As always, leave me some comments down below.
Suggest some other games for me to play.
Thank you so much again for watching, and I will see you in the next one.
(calm music)
