Skybloom Orchard

Skybloom Orchard is the comfort food of this list. You tend floating gardens, cross-breed plants and slowly turn bare rocks into little sky paradises. There's no timer breathing down your neck, which is exactly why I kept opening it.

The tap-and-drag controls for planting and decorating are responsive, and the menus are clear even on a smaller screen. I liked that offline progress keeps ticking, so plants grow while you're away and there's always something to check on.

It sips battery and never got warm, making it ideal for commutes. If you want something relaxing with just enough to plan around, this is an easy recommendation.

What we liked

• Deeply relaxing, no timers
• Progress continues while you're away
• Very light on battery
