Plantera
In Plantera you build your own garden and watch it grow with new plants, bushes, trees and animals. As you play and expand your garden you will attract Helpers, round blue creatures that will help you with your harvesting tasks.
In short, Steam reviewers most often praise “relaxing plant-and-upgrade loop” (35 of 87 reviews) and “cute, readable garden visuals” (14); the most common complaint is “mindless, repetitive idle clicking” (24). What reviewers agree on ↓

“Nice graphics, but it's most simplistic, least inventive idler I've played. Poor controls and confusing methods of interacting with existing plants/creatures.”
“The game is an OK idle game, though it doesn't have anything extraordinary. The art style is simplistic but attractive and the music is calming — perfect for an idle game. Not needing to keep it open all the time is a…”

“Just kind of "fine" as far as number-go-up idle games go honestly. I struggle to have too much to say about it. It's not very expensive at all so no harm and no foul but there's better games I'd plonk in the corner of…”

“This could have been a fun little idle game, but the design choices make it frustrating. Offline progress is almost useless, money gains hit a weird cap, and yet crops level faster when the game is closed than when it’s…”

“A short idle game. There isnt much to this one, its not one of those idle games you can min-max and plan out the best route. Its chaotic and colourful. Grab it on deep discount.”

“This is the wildest 'idle' game I've played in a while. You better have a full-auto level of clicking skills to keep up with this one. You know the drill... Plant stuff, harvest stuff, get money, buy upgrades, plant more stuff, get more money.... Realistically to 100% this one,…”
