I’ll write something here later probably. In the meantime, hi to whoever’s reading this I hope you get a chance to enjoy something kind today :)
Ooblets!
Take a cross between Pokémon and Stardew Valley, make the fights dance battles, and toss in some Slime Rancher aesthetics and you have Ooblets.
When you win a dance battle, instead of catching the critter you pet them and they fart out a seed that you plant and grow into your own buddy. It’s genuinely delightful.
Decided to do a replay of Cattails: Wildwood Story in between my Balatro runs.
The former is pretty cute, fairly low stakes adventure/exploration game. Once you befriend the cats in your colony town you can start taking them along as adventure companions too, which is helpful especially in the mining areas.
Bee Simulator! Way cuter than I thought it would be (due to other “simulator” titles) and I’m about 70% through the main story.
