Piece by Piece

I've played other games in this genre, and unfortunately this isn't a particularly good one. It lost a lot of its magic when, less than 20 items in, the repair pattern repeated (every umbrella is broken the same way, apparently). The painting system is clumsy and unsatisfying. The rock paper scissors minigame was out of left field and didn't add anything.

A cozy cute game about a fox that runs a repair shop from his grandfather. It has colorful artsy vibes and is just relaxing, no need to rush. The characters have interesting stories to tell about how a piece got broken or how it got lost. The rock, paper, scissors minigame brought some variety and you just need to learn the pattern to beat each opponent, I didn't found it out of place given it was made with a variation of a bear, fish, bee, which is suiting for this game. The painting to add some value to pieces you could sell was not really the most intriguing mechanic, with some playing around the system seemed thought about because you can lock different pieces to only paint parts of it, but you can't go into a lot of detail. The little details of buying and upgrading felt nice. Overall a relaxing game for playing in the evening in one sitting to 100% the game in about 4 hours, you could play more to unlock all the stuff you can buy, but it gets repetitive at that point.
