Spring has sprung, and with it has come a new crop ofcozy farming sim games. This season’s latest offering,Sun Haven, follows in the footsteps of titles like theRune Factoryseries andHarvestella, mixing down-to-earth life simulation with a high fantasy setting.
The game has the expected suite of features: a farming system, combat, a host of romance-able and incidental NPCs, and of course, the ability for the player tobuild and customize their own farm and home.

There has been a hiccup that new players are consistently running into when customizing their living space, however. They’re not surehow to rotate furniture.
How to Rotate Furniture in Sun Haven
There’s good news, and there’s bad news. The good news is that rotating objects inSun Havenis relatively simple. Right before the player puts down a piece of furniture,they can rotate it by pressing “R.”
If they have already placed an item and want to re-orient it, players have tohit it with their pickaxeto put it back in their inventory. From there, they can place it again, this time in the right direction.
The bad news is that this is not a universal feature. Only some furniture, like chairs, can be rotated, while others, like the player’s starting bed and carpet, can’t. They have to experiment with each type of item to see what the game allows them to spin.
It’s understandable why the game is like this.Sun Havenhas sprite-based art, and rotating objects means drawing new sprites for each angle. It’s small, but that kind of work can quickly add up, especially for a small team already putting out high-detail sprites and animation.
Still, considering thatthis feature is available in other sprite-based games, players can hope that Pixel Sprout Games updates this in a future patch. Still, it’s a minor feature that doesn’t spoil the whole experience, andSun Havenoffers plenty of other things to do in the meantime.
Sun Havenis available now for PC, with a planned Switch Port whose release date is TBA.
