가방에 넣는 단축키는 있어야 되는 거 아닙니까...손목 뽀가져요
Insanely addicting! I thought it reminded me of Polly Pocket before realizing it's heavily inspired :)
muito fofo e viciante <33
IT IS SO GOOD ASK YOUR GRANDMA
I've really been loving this game!! Its story and tone really resonate, and the main game loop is really satisfying and fun (sometimes so much that it's hard to put down!!). I appreciate how hard I can tell the developers worked on the art for all the item sprites, and they all look super cute and go well together nicely. It's almost perfect for what it is but there are a few little things I'd love to see added in any future updates - 1) customization options for the cashier desk and shop sign 2) wall art!! 3) decor for the pond
我去太上头了,疯狂铺货。完全不关心市民八卦。
The game is very cute and colorful. I can tell a lot of care went into the design and gameplay. I love the design and how it's LGBTQIA+ friendly. The graphics are adorable and it's very pleasing to arrange all the items. I love that the shelves have a lot of space on them and you can fit a lot of stuff. The downside for me is that after playing for over 5 hours I feel like I've seen all there is to see and it's getting very repetitive. I keep getting many of the same items in the same colors over and over again. I think the game would benefit from having twice as many items and more variety. For example: I got 4 pairs of purple sunglasses before I ever saw another color or type of glasses (I eventually got one orange pair of sunglasses and one other type of glasses but that's it so far). Also the patrons will come in at the same time wearing the exact same clothes in the exact same colors. As for extra and repeat items, I would love to have a "sale" function where you can put items you want to get rid of on sale. I don't love that we have to buy most boxes but can't do any sort of trading, we just have to "recycle" the stuff we got too many of. I also think there could be more variety in styles of clothes. There are so many different toys but seemingly way less variety in clothes options. The patrons and my own character have cuter clothes than I have seen so far in the boxes (even if I think they could also use more variety). I want to buy more clothing boxes but most boxes seem to be half "stuff." I would also love bigger rooms instead of more rooms as the rooms are small and more could be done with them design wise if we had more space. Because we only see the rooms from one angle, if you want to put a tall shelf on the "south" side of the room it blocks the view of everything in front of it which limits the space you can decorate. I'm also new to steam so I am not great at playing with the keyboard and I really wish I could play this with my controller. Lastly, figured there would be more "life" to the game. Like that as the player I would have a home (maybe a room upstairs) that I could decorate. Even if it's just something simple, it would be cool to be able to buy an item or two from the store for yourself per day and decorate your attic room.
Bought and played it on release - like minutes after. was everything I expected. a cute, calm, low-stakes, repetitive second-hand-shop simulator with charming reoccurring characters, and lots of queer representation which I love. no complaints. literally cant complain. Its exactly what it says on the tin. I don't know how to emphasise this enough. If you like the idea of it you'll like it.
I've played Spellgarden Games' other games such as Sticky Business and Ritual of Raven its an affordable cozy pixelated romp. I do enjoy the isometric set up of your In-Game Thrift Store and how soothing it is to sort and display your stock sold in the shop. I also find the customer storylines heartwarming. Alongside how some of the customer storylines tie back to their previous games such as Sticky Business alongside certain items you can sell as easter eggs such as Traps and Pterosaurs from Ritual of Raven and the crow plushie. However I do have to say that once you complete the stories there's not much else to do in the game progression wise aside from upgrading and decorating your shop. I will say that I like how affordable the game is and it's fairly short playtime. I do hope there will be potential future updates and more storylines added to the game as it's got a lot of potential. But other than that this game is awesome for what you get and I'm glad the Devs are still cranking out games.
!!!Attention Developers!!!! Please :) I've never reviewed a game before even though I've played over 100. I need more rooms in this game, I love it so much, and I want to expand for ages! Please, please add infinate rooms even if they just repeat, and scaling prices of items, amount of items and ammount of customers (and maybe an option to autoplace a bunch of items if you get to like ten plus rooms). If you do this, it would make it practically infinately playable, and I'd play it for so long as I bet many others would. I love this game so much, please consider my feedback! It scratches an itch no other game has for me! Thank you for even listning if you see this, I know you don't have to.
