Needs Improvement – Field Day Review

This game would be a fun little time killer for the Apple Watch if only it worked better. The user interface is mostly intuitive, scrolling with the watch's wheel between farm, orders, and special requests. But the overly simplified design means that I can't see how much I'm going to get from planting particular seeds. Getting even one more plot is so powerful that I'm saving up thousands of coins for just one. And yet I want to do it not because it makes my engine more efficient, but because it'll be easier to estimate if I'm growing the right things. The hitboxes on the watch interface can use some work; I spend an inordinate amount of time tapping the same spot repeatedly, trying to plant a seed, or tapping the lowest of the orders to redeem it and accidentally selecting the thing beneath it instead. And the requests, the best way to upgrade, are only available in the full app, which is counter to the goal of playing a game on my wrist.
