The visual is so cool but just digging (maybe can add some extra cool mechanics)

A digging sim will never not be fun

fun, but the digging can be a bit annoying

Cool theme implementation! A bit boring, but the "Boss battle" is definitely a highlight :D There's something wrong going on with the aiming like others mentioned.

Very well done! Very addictive and fun, and with a cool surprise in the end haha Also loved the artstyle with those  nice shader effects.

It wasn’t clear to me why I was doing what I was doing — I lacked motivation.

Aiming while digging and harvesting was hard for me. It was a bit annoying that the fruit was practically hanging in the air but still not dug up. And when a giant fruit started emerging from the ground, my thought wasn’t “I’m about to make a ton of money” but “oh no, now I have to dig around it in a circle again.”

That said, the atmosphere is very meditative and pleasant. The shift in mood on the last day was great. The graphics are very nice too.
