Nif Nif

I bought this game on a whim and am so glad I did, it's easily the most accessible deck builder I've ever played. The art is really cute, there's no violence, and it's uncomplicated so it's perfectly suited to young children, yet there is still enough depth of strategy that people of any age can have a lot of fun with this game. I'm finding it hard to put this game down since I started playing earlier today, and I can see it being a go-to when I need a break from the sweaty hero shooters and FPS games that I've been playing lately. The developers have really achieved a great balance here - 10/10.

[b][i]Казуальный карточный рогалик для всей семьи. Помоги поросенку и котику спасти обитателей леса от грязевой жижи, превращающий зверей в агрессивных монстров![/i][/b] Геймплей: https://youtu.be/DLWXcO5-jsM Милота! Эта игра подойдет взрослым и детям. Тут симпатичные звери и монстры, нет насилия и убийств, а геймплей очень простой, расслабляющий и приятный. В каждом забеге цепочка локаций генерируется случайным образом. Вы снаряжаете своего персонажа картами и усилителями, а затем отправляетесь в приключение. Вы выбираете свой путь, отчищаете животных от жижи, чтобы дойти до финального босса и спасти лес. Рогалик короткий, забег до босса занимает 10-20 минут, но тут высокая реиграбельность и прокачка колоды! С прохождением вы разблокируете достижения, второго персонажа – Кота, облики, шляпы, новые карты и усиления. Усиления тут в виде супов, которые можно использовать в битвах для получения дополнительных карт, силы, энергии, защиты и т.д. В своих приключениях вы находите семена и можете между забегами выращивать из них ингредиенты для супов-усилений в специальном «Саду». Вы сажаете семена, поливаете, собираете урожай, а затем готовите супы в специальном в меню «Кухня».

I understand that this is a "kids game", family oriented, non-violent etc.. But it deserves to be fleshed out more.

what a CLEAN game, very much a "slay the spire" -like game. but with it being about cleaning I would argue this game is a "clean the spire" game Nif Nif and cat having different sets of cards to unlock and build decks with is awesome. I have already won a couple runs as it is. I'm looking forward to unlock all the hats, cards and might even look to grab all the achievements in this game: https://youtube.com/live/Ee8W3AVkfVE?feature=share <the stream is here if you wanna check out my first couple runs, more to come during the #RogueWeekly

I did like the notion, concept, and gameplay to some level, but what makes it a non-recommend is that there is only 10-20 minutes of gameplay... Once that is over, there is nothing else to do because it's a roguelite, very minimalist and overly simple. [h2]Issue[/h2] Zero replay value for those looking for something substantial. [h2]Conclusion[/h2] Feels like the kind of game you'd see on mobile, or Facebook games, but for free. What their asking isn't close to what it should be listed as. I'd like to recommend it, but too much of nothing is provided.

Nif Nif is an adorable game. It is family friendly, the artwork is amazing, more than one character/deck to play with and it has hats! I haven’t streamed or played a lot of this yet, but I backed it because I believe in this whole idea. A game for everyone. Want to focus on deckbuilding? Done. Want to just have fun and learn while doing? Easy peasy. Want to play this with your children? You can do that. No killing animals but cleaning animals. And several times you will point at the screen and yell “I got that reference!”. Enjoy, have fun.

Very cute non-violent game. Great for beginners, children and anyone who wants just some cute fun.

We've had around 10 runs with my 6-year-old daughter by now, and she enjoys it a lot. I wish the game had more end-bosses, cloud saves, and was playable on the Steam Deck. But ultimately, it's a game for kids, and if they enjoy it as it is, then the mission is accomplished. EDIT: I was corrected that the game runs on Steam Deck now (or has it always run and I was being an idiot?) so I need to give it another go!

A cute, wholesome little deckbuilder! As someone who adores and is obsessed with pigs, I've been excited to finally play the full release of this game. Nif Nif is a family-friendly version of Slay the Spire, with a bright, cartoony style. Instead of attacking or killing enemies, you're trying to "clean" them, and instead of taking damage to your health, you have a cleanliness bar. Think Sonic rescuing creatures from Dr. Robotnik, except your "attacks" are tissues and sponges, and your "armor" is taking piggy mud baths. This game is simpler in scope than StS-- instead of three floors, there's only one track with a few branching paths to pick from. This makes each run much shorter than its many contemporaries, with my longest so far lasting only 12 minutes, and my shortest about 7. IMO this suits the more casual nature of the game, making it better suited for a quick session instead of the 30-50 minute runs I've had with Slay the Spire. There are the standard attack and defense cards, plush a third type of card that can draw, buff your character, etc. Despite being a game aimed towards kids, there is a surprising amount of content and depth. I'm only a few hours in but I feel I've just scratched the surface in terms of unlocks. New cards, skins, and hats which buff your character are unlocked via an XP system, which accumulates at the end of each run and unlocks new things with each level, sort of like in Monster Train. There's also a cat character, whom I haven't even touched yet, but they have their own separate track of unlockables. This is definitely easier than Slay the Spire, and it doesn't have that same magic, intensely precise balancing that has you theorycrafting for hours. It doesn't have collectible relics which can drastically alter your playstyle. What it does have, however, is a lot of charm, and just enough to keep you coming back again and again. I don't see this game becoming a major obsession (i have 200 hours in Slay the Spire and still haven't cracked Ascension 15) or something I could get sucked into all day, but does it make me smile? Yes. Does it have a cozy, sweet atmosphere which makes me feel way more relaxed and chill? Also yes. I don't see myself marathoning this game until I'm sick of it, but I think I'll revisit it for a little while every day, just to see what's there. Not every game has to be an absolute, immaculate masterpiece! Sometimes it just needs to offer something special, and I think Nif Nif has it in spades. If you're looking for something hardcore that will suck the life out of you for weeks, this isn't it. But if you want something a little different in a world full of intense, violent games, this is it. 100% worth the price in my opinion. I hope the devs add more content to this, but if not, I hope they keep making cute stuff like this!
