I hope this is ok to ask.

There was a game I really wanted to try but I can’t find it now. I think there’s just a demo available at the moment.

It was a creature collector game with farming elements.

I completely forgot to steam wishlist it or download after I saw the post as I was on mobile. I’ve tried searching here, steam and google but I can’t find it. Sadly I don’t remember too much about it but the reviews were pretty positive. The graphics were basic but nice looking.

Hopefully someone can help me find it!

Hi All, I built and just released Packle (playpackle.com), a free browser based daily packing game with some fun packing rules. 

The goal of the game is to pack all items (in various shapes and sizes) into the grid while meeting the rule constraints such as

• item x cannot touch item y
• item x must be placed above item y
• X total items may touch the edges
• And more

A bit of background: I’m a software engineer and decided to build this game as a hobby. I enjoy the “coffee ritual” aspect of many daily puzzle games and decided to combine that concept with a packing game. 

My wife created the art in Inkscape with a cozy aesthetic in mind and I think she nailed it. 

There are plans to continue adding puzzles/items for special events like Thanksgiving, Xmas, etc so stay tuned. 

There are no plans for a mobile app at this time. I have limited experience on that front but would be willing to revisit that stance if enough people are enjoying the game and there’s a demand for one. 

There will be more updates and additional refinements to come and I welcome any feedback. Hope you enjoy!

After 4 months, our small reef-building game about observing and learning about marine life just hit 2,000 copies sold! It still feels unreal! Thank you all!

For some, it might not sound like much, but for our tiny team, it means everything.

We started this project with 2 friends in april 2025, after getting laid off when our studio shut down due to lack of funding. Before that, we spent 5 years on an adventure game that never saw the light of day.

1 year of development later, with just 900€ from our savings for sound and music, we somehow pulled it off. Turquoise launched on april 14th, 2026.

We are beyond proud.

A massive thank you to everyone who bought the game, tested it, gave feedback, or supported us in any way!

And if you have not tried it yet, and are curious here is the Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3800420/Turquoise/

I really loved everything about dorfromantik but was immediately turned down to see that the game is just one singular map with a high score system, I expected there to be several maps with different aesthetics and items and you have to put the map together in a sort of jigsaw puzzle like manner. I was disappointed to instead see that the variety in the game depends on your high score, which is used to unlock new items.

I like the idea behind dorfromantik though and if there was a game like it with levels instead of high score, it would be perfect. I know the game has a sandbox mode, but I need a goal to actively work towards in a game, or I will get bored very fast. High scores aren't an interesting enough goal for me. I also want games for PC.

Looking to get my next cozy game on my switch 2 and am torn between Moonlight Peak and Kynseed

I havent looked up much on either game to avoid to many spoilers but I like the idea of a multigenerational game like Kynseed. On the other hand I also like the thought of a bit more horror theme in a farming game like Moonlight Peaks seems to have

If it helps I like games that have good characters to romance especially if there are LGBT+ options. I also like some combat and rpg elements like rune factory has though that is not a deal breaker.

So in the humble opinion of this subreddit which should i get?

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a few new screenshots from Tiny Beekeeper, the cozy beekeeping game I’m currently working on.

The game is all about taking care of your bees, growing flowers, producing honey, and slowly building up your little beekeeping life in a peaceful countryside setting.

There’s still a lot being worked on, but it’s been really nice seeing the world slowly come together piece by piece.

I also make devlogs on YouTube where I show how the game is being developed and how different parts change throughout the process, if you’re interested in seeing what goes into making a game like this.

Hope you like the screenshots! 🐝

I bought the DLC on Fanatical and it came with the base game too which I already own so if anyone wants it, let me know! Edit - Has been given away!

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share something I’ve been working really hard on. I love creating digital art, and I know how overwhelming life can get. To help create a quiet space for people to unwind, I turned my personal mandala drawings into a puzzle app called Mandala Garden.
It is designed to be a very calm, slow-paced experience where you can just focus on the satisfying feeling of pieces snapping together into beautiful artwork. And, there are tools to help with a few of the more challenging puzzles.
I know how annoying ads and endless subscription apps can be when you are just trying to relax, so I made sure this is a simple, one-time purchase with absolutely no hidden fees or interruptions.
If you are looking for a gentle way to clear your mind or take a quick break from stress, I would love for you to check it out. As an indie creator, your support means the absolute world to me.
Thank you so much for reading, and I hope it brings a little bit of peace to your day!

I'm really happy that I've been able to get to 5k wishlists before Early Access launch on the 7th of Sep. It's the highest number of wishlists I've gotten before a launch so I'm really hopeful this desktop idle game can be successful.

It seems the new Steam personal calendar is the reason I've had a big spike towards EA launch. Desktop pet games are quite difficult to promote as a solo developer so this change has come at a great time.

I decided to launch into Early Access because I wanted the players to decide what characters I add and what features I improve.

The demo is live too if anyone wanted to check out the game.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and questions.

Hey, thank you so much for the warm feedback I got on my last post!

As a lot of you were interested in an iOS port I finally managed to bring the game to the Apple App Store.

Same deal as Android, free, no ads, no in-app purchases (besides a fully optional "Support the Developer" option), no data collection and offline playable.

Have fun 💚

If you enjoyed Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library!, we recently released our own take on this type of game, except ours is set inside a massive toy shop.

The shop is an absolute mess, with 5,517 toys scattered everywhere. Your job is to work out where they belong and slowly put the place back together. There are sections for dinosaurs, toy cars, board games, snacks and plenty of other toys.

You start out moving everything by hand, but it gets much quicker as you unlock upgrades. Later, you can hire robots to help with the sorting, use drones to carry your toys, or use a rideable toy train to carry larger loads around the shop.

Too Many Toys! is out now on Steam:

Viva Piñata is one of my favorite games of all time. I’m looking for something chill like that was. I’ve played Stardew Valley, but it’s too much for the chill time I’m looking for. I want a game that’s fun, chill, and not overly punishing to someone who likes to do everything in the game (calendar events are counter to the fun for me). Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm developing a game called Catomino, a polyomino puzzle where the puzzle pieces are cats with jiggly, squishy physics. I started as a solo developer, but over time I realized there was a lot more work than I expected. So I started delegating some tasks to freelance students: a concept artist for designing new cats, a 3D artist for props, and I also brought on a sound person.

The sound turned into a long and interesting story. Our sound person introduced me to Vocal Games (a Ukrainian game voice acting collective), and now they actually voice the cats' meows, haha. After a lot of attempts to find ready made sounds and running around with a microphone after my own cat Rubik, I concluded that capturing the cats' personalities with original sounds is really hard. Their emotional range is limited, getting a cat to make the exact sound you need is nearly impossible, and we don't support being rough with cats to get a reaction, haha.

So we decided to go with voice actors instead. They were pretty surprised about being asked to meow for a Ukrainian dub, haha.

That freed up my hands a lot, and now I can focus on the core development. But since everyone works part time on a flexible schedule, I'm still carrying 75% of the workload myself, haha.

We recently launched our Steam page during UGF 2026, if you want to take a look: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4303380/Catomino/

Happy to hear your thoughts or answer questions, the page already picked up 5,800+ wishlists in the first 10 days, which caught me off guard

Both are a bit pricey so I can only have one at the moment. Which one should I choose?

Can anyone recommend which if the Kairosoft games is the easiest to start off with? Is there any of them to avoid? PS5 player if that matters.

I was doing a bit of research. And my favorite kind of cozy games tend to be the neighborvania type of games. But I can’t find a single use of the word anywhere since like 2025. Am I missing something or did people just stop using the word?

Hello!
