It's a fun little game where you have to build a little street and make the people in it happy. Young and old. It gave me a little stress from the cats just blitzing by when I sped up the game. I need to pet them all! The little thought bubbles also can walk out of the street so quickly, even on normal speed. So not completely a cozy and relaxing game for me. But for the price it is, def recommended!
もちろん、猫を撫でられるゲームなら高評価をつけるよ~ でも、エンディングクレジットで、このゲームがたった6ヶ月で開発されたと知って、正直驚いた。ゲーム自体はすごく短くて、かなり単調だけど、その価値は十分に楽しめた。 一番気に入ったのはもちろん猫を撫でることだけど、建物一つひとつがユニークなデザインなのもすごく良かった。色もカスタマイズできて、それも楽しかった。 特にサンドボックスモードで通り全体を管理するのは楽しかったのですが、建物が増えすぎて通りが長くなりすぎると、まるでアリを見ているような気分になってしまった瞬間がありました。「あ、これこそやめるのに最適なタイミングだな」と笑いながら思いました。気がつけば、もうゲームをクリアしていました。
main missions are completed very quickly. it takes roughly 3 hours to get through all 5 of them. however, you can keep playing forever in sandbox mode! and i definitely will. it's a nice management game for those of us who are easily stressed and like to pet cats. worth it :3
I bought this game because I still had some money left in my Steam Wallet. I wasn't expecting much, but I ended up playing through it in one sitting. Minami Lane is the definition of a cozy game. It's relaxing without being boring, simple without feeling shallow, and every level introduces just enough new mechanics to keep things interesting. Figuring out what makes the residents happy is surprisingly satisfying. The art is adorable, the soundtrack is incredibly chill and the cats make everything better. It's not a huge game, but it doesn't need to be. I'd rather have a short, polished experience than one padded with repetitive content. For the price, it's absolutely worth it. If you're looking for a game to play with a cup of tea, relax, and just vibe for a few hours, this is an easy recommendation.
An easily accessible game for the management sim genre that can be 100% with minimal effort outside of the main missions. The largest effort was gathering 300 trash manually. I really appreciate the missions are bite sized to get you introduced to concepts one at a time; there's no pressure for failing missions and optional missions are extremely approachable. I held off playing this one for a while because I was intimidated by having to manage individual stores' recipes, but keeping track of your community's desires is very straight forward. The art style is adorable and a large reason why I was interested in this game in the first place; I had seen the developer's work on social media and have been tracking them as of the release of this game. With how enjoyable Minami Lane was, I'll happily pick up any other games from these devs <3
It truly is a cute little cozy management game. If you're looking for a chill but quick game with a bit of a challenge, this is a good choice. I can see myself playing this multiple times and still finding the charm in it.
关卡内容少的有点夸张。中途我挂着吃了饭回来通关后还没到2小时甚至可以申请下退款。。。但是价格不贵,是我喜欢的画风,也替我消磨了2小时的时间,支持一下
Great game. Very casual, no pressure on the objectives of timing. Some secondary objectives require more planning in order to win or not to win too fast. The only downside is that the manual trash pick achievment is at 300... which you can't achieve as soon as you buy the auto cleaner... So this is annoying, but this is the only negatie I can see.
不好玩,顶多算治愈。可玩性极低,无聊
Really fun and cute puzzle game !! You get around 3 hours of playtime, and I think thats acceptable for the price.
