Description
When your mother has to move abroad for work, you end up moving back to her sleepy childhood town of Clover. Not soon after, you're entrusted with an overgrown piece of land by the townsfolk, and it's up to you to make it the farm of your dreams! In the world of Ova Magica, humans live side-by-side with mysterious blob creatures, who become people's friends and test their strength against one another for sport. Get to know the locals, enjoy the beauty and culture of Clover Town and valley, and befriend the cute little blob creatures as you build your future.

Farming
Players can grow everything from normal crops, berry bushes, and fruit trees, to heart fruit, weird herbs, and mushrooms from other dimensions! Harvests allow cooking of high-quality food for blobs to help them grow healthy and strong. Alternatively, crops can be sold on the local market in Clover Town.

Blobs
Blobs hatch from eggs and it's up to the player to train them! To make blobs stronger, they need to be fed well and given lots of love. Attention should be paid to their favorite foods, and play with them often to deepen the bond.

They come in many colors and shapes, and can be of the Forest, Storm or Magma type. In the world of Ova Magica, people live side by side with these cute creatures, and players can raise them to be strong, loyal friends and sidekicks. Unlike other games, players don't receive experience points after battle. To make blobs stronger, they must be fed well, pet, and use specific skills in battles.

Blobs can also help with farm work. As blobs become stronger and more skilled, they can be asked to perform certain scheduled tasks to increase productivity. For example, the turtle blob can take care of a section of a farm to water it every day. Be careful to not overwork them or take advantage of them. If they get hungry, they won't work.

Breeding
Grow stronger and unique blobs! You can crossbreed all blobs! Create your dream team and become the strongest trainer.

Battle system
Fight against other trainers and wild blobs. Experience a strategic Active Time Battle system with a little twist. Attacks throw the player back to the ATB bar and can even cancel the current action. Think carefully when it's time to defend, and when to attack. Also be sure to plan to use the right skill type to gain elementary advantages.

Expeditions
To find rare blob eggs, legendary items, and rare crafting materials, players will need to go on expeditions into the blob worlds. Portals can be summoned by placing an item on the altar. These dungeons change every time the player enters them. In the end, a strong blob Emperor boss guards the rare eggs. A tough battle awaits.

Bachelors/Bachelorettes
Players can make friends and build relationships with different characters. Talking, battling and gifting increases friendships and unlocks new events, places, and more. There are wonderful stories to experience. Through conversations, gifts and blob battles, players can increase friendships. This will unlock numerous events and quests that will let players get to know the characters better.

Activities
Enjoy many wholesome activities and things to do around Clover Town! You can work on your fishing skills, or catch some bugs. Mine some ore to build a few parts for your juicing machine, or perhaps you'd like to pop by the Blob League to get the latest news on the latest tournaments?

Crafting
Gather resources to create new items with the workbench and decorate your farm and home! On your adventures you'll find many blueprints to decorate your farm and home! Some of these will help you to refine or process materials you couldn't before, like the furnace or juicer, or grow exotic and weird new crops, help your productivity or just let you relax in comfort!
