Cute little game, graphics and animation were all clean. I found it difficult to find the blobbos their mushrooms but maybe that is the point. Unique idea and feels complete.

Fun little game, can sometimes be quite the challenge to line up the shot just right.

The graphics are very cute! I really liked the presentation overall. The mechanics were a bit obtuse at first, but as I played it I started to figure things out. I think I would have appreciated a slightly higher spawn rate on the blue mushrooms - it felt like I spent a lot of time waiting around for them to show up. Reminds me of Slime Rancher :)

I love farming games (like Slime Rancher). The art in this game, and the simple interface, felt very good to me.
I struggled a bit with the controls at first, but got the hang of it.
I feel like a few of the mechanics are unecessarily unforgiving and work against the farming fantasy. When the slimes disappear that's a permanent loss of a slime. And throwing a mushroom and missing wastes the mushroom. And slimes starve to death if you aren't careful. The farming fantasy feels best to me when it's easy to build on your past actions. Like the more crops you have in Stardew Valley the more money you have to buy more crops, and the farming gets easier as you progress through the game. In Preeker Ranch there's a lot of ways that your resources can be lost or wasted, which makes it more like a precision resource management experience rather than a farming experience.
Though I think there's a nice charm to Preeker Ranch and it'd be rad if getting lots of slimes and mushrooms was easier. I think there's something cool here.
