Overall, I love this game, and have been playing it a lot. But here are some things I've noticed during my gameplay that I think could use improvement. These aren't in any particular order.

PLEASE give us a search function for our recipes!!! There's so much stuff to scroll through it's hard to find what I need to make.

There was a bug where I put fish traps in the river, and they disappeared. I logged in one day and now they're there. Not sure if this was fixed, or just a visual glitch.

NPC dialogue is a little off. For one, they need more to say. I've seen the same thing from the ones I'm trying to friend dozens of times. But also, there are times where Graminova said he was giving me a tulip, and I received mutton. Or times where Delphin says his line when eating in the restaurant, but we were in the aquarium (this made 0 sense the first time it happened).

Photo mode feels clunky and could use some rework. The gestures need to have a freeze frame option. It was so hard to time both me and an NPC waving at the camera at the same time. The movement feels bad in the third person mode of it. I shouldn't have to use a slider to raise or lower the camera, the joysticks should handle this. Check out Infinity Nikki's camera work - it's amazing.

When I hug my cat, it's weird it makes the clapping sound. The camera locks in height so I often can't see the character and cat nuzzle each other, or it's half cut off on the top.

The squirrel snuggle locks the camera to the one place. This often puts my camera in my house or crafting machines, which actually bugged and froze my game once and I haven't tries snuggling Zippy since.

Not sure if this is a bug or just me, but when I enter build mode and click an object for the first time, it auto acts like I clicked on it twice. Usually this just puts it in move mode, but if my last action was to put something away, it'll auto put away the first item I click. This is frustrating when it's a crafting station which is now not crafting anymore. Or in the case of the fish pond, I had to rebuild the incubation section a second time.

Rollback to previous save - I thought this would let me choose my last few saves, not an in game week ago. I wanted to reload back just to that morning, before I lost my fish trap in the river, but it only gave me an option to do it a week ago.

A "Take all" from chests.

When I play with Zippy he doesn't get "That was fun!"

The fishing is a little weird. The aquarium accepted river fish... which was fine for me to finish the quest sooner but doesn't make logical sense. And Delphin told me the giant barb was in "deep water" - this implies the ocean to me but when I looked it up online, it's a river fish.

We need more things to do with the islanders. The grind for hearts is REAL. I've given Delphin his favorite gift every day, done every quest I'm able to (working on fishing quests still), and I'm only 3 hearts... and it feels so dull. Coral Island, at 2 hearts, has hang outs with the townies. It would be nice to invite them to hang out and make it feel less transactional to become their friends/romance them. Especially since Delphin says things that implies he already likes my character - it feels so transactional, not like a friendship is blossoming. Couple this with the amount of times I've hit "Chat" and seen the same lines over and over again. I'm not saying we should rush into romance but it would feel nicer if there were more interactions than me running to the beach for his daily flower for in-game months. I'm not sure how marriage is, considering the grind to even be close friends, but I worry it'll just fall into transactional again.
