Stardew Valley - Android......any good?

Thank you....it does get very good reviews

I wasn't advancing a lot.

I had somewhat similar experiences with the PC version.

For a game that gets labeled as a farming game surprisingly farming only seems to make up a very small portion of the early game. Like you have enough cash to buy seeds for 5 plants, you sow them and wait a couple of days before you can harvest and sell them and now have enough money to buy seed for 7 plants. I found myself spending most of my time fishing, trying to make at least a little money.

I also don't really get the whole interacting with townfolk and romancing people which seems to make up a large part of the game. Apparently you have to give them the right gifts to make them like you so they will open up more but I kept walking around town and talking to everybody but all they had to say was a single sentence each, which didn't give me the slightest clue what they like and dislike.

I'm not saying it's a bad game I simply didn't understand what was going on.
Probably because I never played any of those Harvest Moon games people keep raving about. I only played 5,1 hours so I assume it gets better later on?

If somebody can explain to me where I went wrong and maybe gimme some tips I'd appreciate it very much because I'd like to give the game another chance at some point.
