Carefully Stamped

There's no way to save designs so when you get asked for similar designs (which happens often), you have to keep making them repeatedly until it's boring. It's a cute concept but gets dull very fast.

Extremely buggy. Constantly made me lose progress: game always starts on the very first request regardless of progress, cat pet counter kept resetting, stamps I hadn't used would be gone as if I had used them, etc. The gameplay itself was fun but the issues make any attempt at progress self defeating and futile. Don't waste your money on a half baked game and buy a better made sticker game instead like I'm going to now. I wish I could get my money back for this garbage

This game was... honestly terrible. I don't know if my final time shows up here, but the game turned itself on while I was at work but I still was around 9 hours after I just couldn't play anymore. Aside from the game just not being fun, most of it felt really lazy from the NPC graphics, gameplay loop and prompts. I couldn't even get the last achievement as an achievement hunter and this game is sitting at 29/30 because it was driving me crazy. I feel like stamps are hard to get wrong too, and they were miserable to collect. This game has made me very cautious when buying cozy games. Definitely wouldn't recommend it.

Not recommended at full price. I basically bought it as bundle filler but I would not recommend it otherwise. The game is missing some quality of life features, such as the ability to save and reuse previously designed postcards. Given the way the request pool is set up, that would significantly improve my experience with the game. The way the request pool is set up is honestly my biggest issue with the game. This should be a good game to play in brief stretches to destress/before bed but based on my experience, the game runs through the same pool of half a dozen to a dozen requests on every game launch and only then starts to generate other requests. I largely played in bite-sized sessions and wondered why I was pretty much getting the same requests every time. Then, I decided to grind out the funds to purchase the house and played for maybe a couple of hours without exiting the game. That is when I noticed that I actually started getting varying requests that I had not seen before. The game has some other issues, such as the export feature not working (or maybe I missed something really obvious) and postcards for certain requests occasionally being deemed not exactly what the client asked for despite having the same backgrounds/stickers as all the other times the request was encountered. If the issue with the request generation were fixed, I would at least be able to recommend this game as a way to destress suitable for brief game sessions but as it stands, I do not consider "Carefully Stamped" worth purchasing.

Needs a progress saving feature. Needs a little more challenge. Needs a little more variance to the monotony of tasks and scenery. Fix those things and I would recommend the game. Cute art!

[h1] Why you should or should not play Carefully Stamped [/h1] [b] Before You Read [/b] [i] Every review on my profile is based on my own personal experience with a game. My opinions aren't facts, and you're not expected to agree with them—and that's perfectly okay. My goal isn't to tell you whether you should like a game. Instead, I try to explain what worked for me, what didn't, and who I think the game might appeal to. Constructive discussion is always welcome, but please remember there's a real person behind these reviews. Respectful disagreements are encouraged; insults, hostility, or personal attacks are not. [/i] [b] What is Carefully Stamped? [/b] In this game you are someone who is creating postcards for your community! [b] Quick Pros [/b] ✔ Satisfying progression system ✔ Unique mechanics ✔ Easy to learn controls ✔ Relaxing gameplay ✔ Long playtime potential ✔ Memorable characters [b] Quick Cons [/b] ✘ Repetitive gameplay loop ✘ Repetitive soundtrack [b] Initial Thoughts: [/b] -"What, seriously WHY DIDNT YOU LIKE THAT CARD?? I literally made a cat tree with pumpkins for you." -"OMG this game has so much creative freedom for a postcard game." -"I CAN PET THE CAT!" [b] Beginner Player Friendly? [/b] Yes I would argue this game is beginner player friendly. The tutorial is very straightforward and the game play is simple and repetitive making it super easy to understand. And the content is very user friendly. [b] Game Play: [/b] In this game your goal is to run your little post card shop for your communtiy! You design postcards based off the prompts people give you and assist them by decorating it. You are saving money (or spending money) to buy your house and to get more materials. You can also gamble for more stamps! Its not really gambling as much as it is mystery packs. [b] Graphics: [/b] The graphics in this game are cartoony and simple. I believe this game could easily run on lower end systems. I also like the character design in this game as it seems very whimsical and everyone has very unique styles which gives you an idea of who they are as a person. [b] Community: [/b] I have not yet interacted with this community however the steam forums do seem to be active and if you need a helping hand I am sure you can go there for some assistance. [b] How long can you play? [/b] In this game I have played around an hour and a half in this game and have yet to be bored. I believe I will play until I gather all the materials and unlock everything there is to unlock. I think that will take me around 3 ish hours. So if you are an achievement hunter going for everything achievement related you may have loneger playtime. [b] My Opinion: [/b] In my opinion this game is definetly worth giving a try. It reminds me of sticky buissness and is super cozy and enjoyable. [b] Overall Review [/b] ★ 8/10 - A fun postcarding adventure where you can use a lot of creative freedom to create some awesome postcards for the communtiy. ✘ [b] Active Online Multiplayer [/b] [i] (meaning people will interact with you in game) [/i] ✔ [b] Family Friendly [/b] [i] (meaning friendly to all ages) [/i] ✔ [b] Solo Playability [/b] [i] (meaning you can play by yourself if preferred) [/i] ✘ [b] Cross Compatibility [/b] [i] (meaning you can play with friends through other consoles.)

Самая пустая и унылая игрушка от этого разработчика, увынск :(

Cute concept, but I managed to break the game an hour in by dragging a design to the wrong place. Definitely not a finished game.

Very Boring

"Забродившее гoвнo никогда не отстоится" Это по данную игру. Я не знаю как можно было так наcрать и наcрать без души. Купила эту игру из интереса и хотелось поиграть во что-то спокойное. Первый час-два было интересно но зажимала в фантазии концепция игры. Зарабатываешь деньги - тратишь на стикеры. Пока насоберешь на все что хочешь становится не интересно. Запросы покупателей повторяются и честно говоря я их уже знаю лучше чем молитву. Это неоптимизированное гoвнище. У меня пк слабоват но в тоже время в похожей игре стики бизнес все тянуло отлично даже при добавлении очень много количества предметов. КАК В 2D ИГРЕ МОЖНО БЫЛО ТАК ОБЛАЖАТЬСЯ В ОПТИМИЗАЦИИ???? Слишком много стикеров - смэрть, слишком долго играешь - тоже. Но если не добавлять все стикеры из одобренных категорий банально не заработаешь и копейки. Даже когда играла адекватно игра сама тупила и вылетала моментами Лучше купите себе пачку чипсов ей богу
