Even the cozy experience of Hello Kitty Island Adventure can get a bit frustrating due to the time it takes to complete some chores in the game, but one easy tip can make things a bit faster. After having been an Apple Arcade exclusive for over a year, the Sanrio-themed cozy game made its way to Nintendo Switch and PC last month, providing access to a whole new community of players. Similar to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the game features a community of friendly characters on an island where players complete tasks and make friends.

Like many cozy life sim games these days, Hello Kitty Island Adventure includes gardening, at least for growing flowers. The task can be seen as a sweet and calming experience at first, but eventually the act of watering, fertilizing, and picking all those flowers one at a time can become a bit tedious. Thankfully, Ollyen recently shared a simple tip on Reddit that surprised many players.

While it sounds like such a common sense feature, many players had no idea it existed. As littleducky666 said in the comment thread on the post, they "literally jumped for joy when I accidentally discovered this a while back. SO HELPFUL!!".

Simply Holding Down The Button Can Save A Lot Of Time

Collecting, Watering, And Even Fertilizing Flowers

What Ollyen discovered was that rather than tending to each flower one at a time, simply holding down the button that is used to pick, water, or fertilize will work on all the flowers in the field at once. This can save a substantial amount of time for a player, allowing them to move on to other projects in the game. It is also inspiring many players to try the gardening feature in Hello Kitty Island Adventure again after having given up on the idea due to the frustrations they had when doing everything one at a time.

According to a comment from okamifire on the Reddit thread, this feature has only been available for around 6 months, which could be why so many players who were enjoying the game on Apple Arcade did not know about it.

Our Take: Online Communities Are Perfect For Sharing Tips Like This

I Didn't Know This Tip In Hello Kitty Island Adventure Either

Online communities, whether on Reddit or other social media outlets, can be fantastic resources for getting tips and tricks, or even just humorous stories, from fellow players. In this case, although Ollyen originally wondered if they were the only one who didn't realize this time saving feature until their post was flooded with responses from others, including myself, who also had never knew it. I have discovered several things through Reddit communities that I never would have found on my own.

The gaming community in general, particularly when it comes to cozy games like this one, can be incredibly helpful and friendly. Of course, that is not always the case, but the amount of tips, tricks, and inspiration that can be gained can be wonderful. Particularly when it helps everyone find more enjoyment in games like Hello Kitty Island Adventure.
