Stimmings

Incredibly innovative gameplay, challenging, high skill ceiling, hours of entertainment for all audiences with a unique sense of humor sprinkled in. Looking forward to future releases

2026 update: may make youtube video documenting my adventure through this. i think the other reviews are bots. this is a good game but there is no fckin explanation on anything. gonna try to 'beat' this soon, i dont know what that would even mean im updating this in 2025, because ive played around a bit more. i have no idea what is going on, but the game itself can be fun and i consider this a good game - most people might disagree. at first, the game feels broken and you wont understand how things interact with each other. ive had to restart countless times and i dont think ive progressed through more than 2 levels - but man is it fun to get there. you dont control units directly, just place buildings in whjich the stimmings will use to interact with the world you spawn in a random world on the tutorial level - took me a bit to figure out but you can block the portal and mess around here / also collect some usable items on this floor before moving foward. if you leave the portal unblocked all of your stimmings will just go into it.. if you wait, i believe you can fill it up to 100 stimmings and they all join you on the next map. usually i just do this and then move on. on the first map, itll be randomly generated so you may just fckin die. lol. sometimes the enemy spawns directly on you, but this doesnt bother me too much. restarting was annoying when idk what was going on but most things are manageable now. youre gonna wanna place down some farms slowly until they are producing population, set some town centers near trees so they can cut them down and use them to reproduce. farms cant be accessed from corners, as far as i know, so build accordingly. DEFENSE TOWERS ARE BETTER THAN KNIGHTS i didnt realize this for a long time, but the defense towers can take out a lot of enemies that whoop the knights. on the subject of knights, i noticed that sometimes they get to the frontline and then stop moving. this is because they need the 'work scent' and can be fixed by building a barracks thing towards the frontline. think of it this way - attacking units need to be close enough to 'barracks' related building to function. and pretty much with this strategy you can play around and learn more. there is no guide or detailed wiki about this game, but something about it has sucked me in. i only have 6.5 hours on this currently but if you load up for 30 minutes youll understand how long 6.5 hours of this game is lol. its a good game and i do recomend it BUT THERE IS NO TUTORIAL (ok there is but not like you think) AND THE GAME IS A LEMMINGS SIMULATION. Personally, i think this game could polish itself up and do numbers on the steam charts but for now its a hidden little gem. Old review:**unironically top 15 games of 2023, no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clue how to play but each time i restart i learn a little more and get a little further. at first it seems like clustered garbage and nothing makes sense.... but it does, i think? :^)

This is a very cool roguelite that can be quite difficult to get into, but any gamer who loves old school game design will love it.
