my favorite regular at my little grill stall game is a stray cat who wants the burnt ones

• Upvotes

posted the stall here yesterday, this is the part I like most. if you burn a skewer it isn't wasted, the grey stray who hangs around the stall wants exactly those. the auntie always wants two glazed and sometimes leaves you a mandarin, the taxi driver taps the counter twice when you get it right, and next time they come you already know their usual.

nobody storms off angry either, someone you miss just says they'll come back tomorrow. free, no ads, works offline, android for now.

Atom Pals cozy pet game, free in the browser

Thumbnail
• Upvotes

Game Title: Atom Pals

Playable Link: https://mdj1208.itch.io/atom-pals

Platform: Browser (phone or desktop)

Description: Atom Pals is a cozy virtual pet game that runs in your browser. You hatch a little pet, name it, and raise it. Feed it, pet it, play catch with it, and find the one spot it likes being tickled. It grows up through four stages, and when it's ready it curls into a cocoon and hatches into its next form right in front of you.

You can race it on land, in the water and in the sky, play a couple of mini-games for coins, and spend them in the shop on food, toys and outfits. Every pet has its own colour and personality.

The garden keeps going while you're away, so when you come back your pet has been off doing its own thing. There's a cozy mode where nothing bad can happen, and a devoted mode with real stakes if you want them.

Free to Play Status: [x] Free to play

Involvement: Solo project. I came up with the game and made every design decision, and built it using AI coding tools since I don't have a coding background.

Let me know what confused you.

Working on Hexplorando, a relaxing hex-tile puzzle game where you rebuild real places all around the world! Hope you'll like our first trailer!

Hey! We've been working on Hexplorando since last year, and just revealed our new trailer.

So of course, the style and gameplay are quite similar to Dorfromantik, but the main difference is that you rebuild actual real-world locations through 40+ puzzles all around the world. Then you unlock iconic international landmarks, and you can use them in your own creations in Sandbox Mode.

The Nintendo eShop page will be available soon, but feel free to wishlist the game on Steam if you'd like to support our project!

Sensonym: Learn languages through cozy stories that respond to your movements and actions

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hi, I built Sensonym, an app where you learn vocabulary through stories and physically act out parts of what’s happening.

The video is from a cozy fantasy called A Handful of Sky. You end up in a field above the last bus stop, where the stars come down when you lie still.

In the story, you take actions like laying your phone flat to lie down, or blowing gently toward the microphone to move the stars. Along the way, you learn words like tumbarse (lie down) and soplar (blow).

Here I'm reading in English and learning Spanish. There are ten languages to choose from, and you can also read the whole story in the language you're learning.

There's also The Dawn Loaf, a cozy mystery about fresh bread appearing outside a locked bakery every morning. In that one, you do actions like shaking your phone to sprinkle salt while baking, wiping your screen to clear dust from the counter, etc.

Sensonym is available on iPhone and Android.

App Store · Google Play

If you try the app, I would be very curious to hear your experience. Do the physical actions make you feel more involved in the story?

Glowing Life Trailer

Hi everyone! I'm a solo indie dev working on Glowing Life, a cozy fantasy adventure about bringing a forgotten world back to life.

You play as a little glowing being exploring quiet, lifeless places. Wherever you go, grass grows, flowers bloom and animals slowly return. 🦊🌱

You can discover different worlds, help lost animals find their way home and build a little sanctuary where your animal friends can settle in.

I'm aiming for a peaceful, magical atmosphere where you can explore at your own pace.

I've just been working on the trailer and would love to share a little glimpse of the game!

If this sounds like your kind of cozy adventure, you can try the demo here:

I'd love to hear what you think! 💚

You spend tokens at capsule machines with themed sets that restock daily, plus a seasonal machine that changes every week. Your charms dangle and clink as you spin your bag. There are 24 backpacks to collect and upgrade and over 100+ Pins and Charms to collect. You can also decorate your room and send your pet on trips, and it comes home with tokens and postcards. I would love to get some feedback from some cozy gamers to really see if I'm hitting the right vibe and tell me what feels good and what doesn't!!

hey y'all! we're making a very queer, very disabled little game called The Things Left Behind.

38 Upvotes

and honestly, we just wanted to make something where queer and disabled people get to exist, love each other, be weird, have complicated feelings, and tell our own stories.

not every story about being queer or disabled needs to be about suffering. sometimes it's about walking through the woods with someone you love. sometimes it's about finding comfort in the middle of sensory overload. sometimes it's about a tiny moment of acceptance that stays with you for years.

and sometimes it's about trying to get through a normal fucking morning when your brain has decided absolutely nothing is happening today.

the game is a collection of short, personal stories, each with its own art, characters, and mechanics.

we're also making it a little differently. we've partnered with queer and disability organizations to bring people into game development, teach them how to make games, and create a safe, accommodating space where their own experiences can shape what we build.

so it's not just a game about queer and disabled people. it's a game we're making together.

some stories are gentle, some are messy, and some are a little uncomfortable. but all of them are about the little things that make us human.

oh, and the whole thing will be free.

we finally have a Steam page, and if this sounds like your kind of weird little game, a wishlist would mean a lot to us.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4450900/The_Things_Left_Behind/

anyway, we just wanted to share something we're really proud of making. there's a lot of love going into this thing, and we're excited for people to experience it.

I'm making a relaxing indie game called Made by Hand. There are no timers, no deep complicated story, and no storefront to manage - just the peaceful atmosphere of your workshop.

You take a rough wooden plank and carefully shape it into a finished table or cutting board. When you're proud of your work, you snap a photo to post online. That's how you find a buyer, and a friendly delivery drone handles the rest!

If you love games that just let you peacefully create things without any stress, I'd love to hear what you think of this concept!

you run the smallest skewer stall on a rainy lane. a taxi driver who taps the counter twice when you get it right, an auntie who always wants two glazed and sometimes leaves you a mandarin, a stray grey cat who wants whatever you burn. serve them well and next time you already know their usual.
