Gourdlets

嗚呼かわいいおやさい！！！ってゲームです 疲れてる人にはお勧めしたい。お値段もお手頃なので。 けどアイテムのレパートリーが少ないので、まちづくりをゴリゴリにやりたい人や多様なキャラクリ大好きな人には勧めないですね…早々にバリエーションが尽きます。キャラクターがどれだけ増えようと、特段何かイベントが発生したりするわけでもないので…ただただ眺めることになります。ホントです。 だからこそ疲れている人「には」お勧めしたいです。

Great game for kids who like creating a world and are learning the mechanics of moving and manipulating things with a keyboard and trackpad, but who aren't very interested in rules and deadlines.

Adorable and chill. If you're like me, and you like sandbox games with absolutely zero stakes or wrong ways to play, you will like this. This is everything I wanted SimCity to be, back in the day, when all my cities failed after about one in-game week. I'm terrible at strategy-based city builders, but Gourdlets is different. You can't fail at Gourdlets. I see that several players find the lack of strategy, or sense of Achievement, boring. My dudes, I put it to you that you have forgotten about imagination. This is not about achievements (though there are achievements to achieve), and it's not about levelling (though the Gourdlets can "mature", whatever maturation for a tiny vegetal being in a silly hat means). This is like when you were a tiny kid, in your room pretending with your Duplo sets. There's little guys, you give them little things to do. They farm, they cook, they play on swing sets, they wander into each others' houses to use the toilet and take a bath if you let them. They talk to their lawn flamingoes, for heaven's sake. It's hilarious fun. As a rapidly shrivelling gamer of advanced age, I still love that stuff. You're *allowed* to love that stuff. Gourdlets is a huge, imaginative toy box which encourages you to love all that stuff. It can be a little buggy, sometimes, in the sense that occasionally one of the bookcases in my public library might turn into a palm tree. I'm not sure that's supposed to happen. I'm calling it a feature and taking it as a caution not to tax my laptop RAM with adding *too* many ferris wheels. It's good! It's an indie game! It's an amazing piece work by a single developer! I like it a lot.
