The game features a day and night cycle. As time passes, the leaves in the user interface rotate like the hands of a clock to show time.

A full day will last around 12 minutes of 'real' time. Only three to four of those minutes are night. Many pinata are active during the day and sleep at night, while others are nocturnal meaning that they sleep during the day and are active at night.

Daytime or nighttime also affects when a species might appear in the wild. For example, the Mothdrop appears at night. Other species, such as the Fudgehog, only appear after a certain amount of days have passed.

Gameplay Tip: Just because it's nighttime in your garden, it doesn't mean that you can sleep. Some predators, like the Pretztail, like to hunt and eat other species at night.
