Steamulator 2019
Disclosure: I’m friends with one of the conceptualizers of the game.
Enjoyable game for the price. Simplistic in nature but a generally addictive nature will make players want to keep coming back to the game. The game has you running your own Steam storefront where you have to monitor your stats to assure they aren’t too high or too low, otherwise its game over.
The game suffers from some bugs such as no matter what the event is, every time you swipe right on a card, your game count will increase by 1, even if the choice doesn’t involve publishing a game to Steam and the confusing stat adjustments made in correspondence with your decisions (how does accepting games have the same positive influence on developers as when you deny them?)

Well I originally wrote a long rant about why I hate these devs after they’re first success that was half-decent, but then I realized I would probably get deleted for it, so here’s my attempt at a reasonable and constructive review for this game.
Don’t buy it, Reigns is better. Long story short, it just seems like a cash grab to me, as was their last game after the initial lootbox simulator success that was alright but probably not worth the cost. It’s a half baked concept they put a price on to cash in on. Or perhaps an attempt at a game inspired by games like reign that they gave up on either out of boredom or inability to manage to work out kinks and bugs. I would suggest Game Dev Tycoon or other similar rip offs if you’re looking for the steam-esque simulators. I have a degree in computer game development that I haven’t used in 3 years because I wasn’t a fan of it, so I have a basic understanding of how to make a game. If I bothered to do research I could probably make this myself for free. Anyway, not worth a look if you ask me, if you’re looking for anything from these guys, the only good thing is I can’t believe it’s not Gambling, the first one, not the second.

Galactic Mining Corp
Galactic Mining Corp is decent. It’s not quite good enough for me to say its a great game, but its not bad enough for me to say its awful either. It occupies that middle niche of being compelling enough to enjoy but also shows off a lot of points where it could have used some more refinement.
=The Good=
-
The artwork is great. You can tell effort was put into the art direction off the game.
-
If you enjoy completionist style games, this is going to have a lot for you. Hundreds of items to unlock and rank up. Lots of achievements.

Game is not terrible, though its essentually a clicker with very little actual game play. You’re just increasing numbers so you can gain even higher numbers. The mining sections while there’s interaction with power ups and such, are more a measure if your progress is “tall enough to ride” you can finish some maps earlier than intended with some intelligent play, but that’s extent to the depth of gameplay.
The game honestly goes on a little too long. They could have cut the entire 3rd galaxy and the game been just fine to me, the game starts feeling a little long in the tooth around the start of the 3rd galaxy. at least 35 of my nearly 60 hours was in the 3rd galaxy. Also whoever on the dev team decided what you go through on the planet Apollo needed to be a thing. There’s a special place in hell for you, you know what you did.

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Gambling 2(K)
The float on the drop sucks and the minigames are a chore really - good try tho.
Also the spin is so damn slow that I just want to leave my computer alone while it clicks for me.
As a note, I enjoyed the previous installments of the franchise; but this one has too many waiting mechanics that I can’t get myself to play it.
Not worth the asking price for a idle clicker

The Legend of Bear-Truck Trucker
I spent the weekend absolutely obsessed with this game. A very simple premise, and incredibly charming in its own quiet way. There’s some real min-maxing depth available here, and lots of laughs (with the occasional heartbreak) in the physics. Highly recommended for those stretches of time where no other games seem to stick and you just don’t know what to play. You want to play this :)

Slime 64 is a 3D Collectathon Platformer inspired by the 64-bit era!
Play as four uniquely strong elemental Slimes in any order you’d like as they meet each other on their journey and combine their powers to save the world from the diabolical Wurl Tzun and his ever-expanding enterprise. The Geo Keys and Golden Bells will unlock new worlds to explore as you amass your strength in numbers (and your pile of goodies).
Meet the Slimes!
Fly through the air with Winona, zip through water at high speed with Marsh, dash and jump farther and higher with Ash, and build up insane speed rolling around as Tuff. These four slimes hail from all around the world, but through their adventures will meet and fuse, allowing their powers to be used at the same time!
Choose a Visual Style
Some people prefer jaggy edges and scanlines, others prefer crystal clear sight. Play the game with Nostalgia Goggles set to On, HD Remaster, or Blinding!
Adaptive Soundtrack
Catchy tunes inspired by the style and tone of yesteryear combined with some smart programming help capture that classic exploration feel.
All sorts of challenges!
Do you like platforming? How about puzzle solving? Speedrunning? As fans of all of the above, we’re pushing Slime 64 to be the best it can be, and to offer something for everyone.

Sunset Mall
This is an amazing game, I love the retro 90s style, and the store items that you can buy are actual 90s items and thats pretty cool. Cyan Dreams is constantly rolling out new updates to improve the gameplay, which they never fail to do. Since I started playing, this game has been getting progressively better and better, and I believe it will continue to do so in the time to come.
If you are reading these reviews while considering to buy the game or not, I would DEFINITELY recommend it, 10/10. Just make sure you keep an eye out for the porple gangstas :)

Cozy Cabin
From the developer of Simple Farm comes a brand new relaxing survival game where you survive in a cabin set in a old school operating system.
I was watching a Kingsway stream one day, an RPG set in an old-school style operating system, when someone in the comments said that the UI was cozy. The comment immediately inspired me to make a coziness simulator based completely in an old-school desktop. Cozy Cabin is meant to be as relaxing as possible. It’s set in a quiet, rainy town where your only job is to fish, farm, and mine in order to pay your monthly rent and stay in the cabin.
Cave Confectioner
This product was provided for free to review by a friend of a friend.
The game initially reminded me of the classic Kings Quest game on the Apple II. You wander around a bit looking for the next thing to pick up. Kind of just wandering and clicking around with very little direction, but there are some occasional tips by talking to the characters. It was probably inspired at least some by MineCraft, since the player starts with nothing and has to pick up items and then use them with other items in inventory or objects on the ground to try to get make else. It also has similarities to One Hour One Life. There’s a lot of experimentation required to get anything going.

The game seems really nice, and I like the concept a lot. Thing is, I am having some issues with saving. However, as far as I understand the game is early in development and possibly being made by one person so issues like these are understandable. Can’t wait for future updates!
P.S A little help with saving would be much appreciated! :D
Edit: Save function in now working. Also, the controls are fine, that was a mistake on my part. Big thanks to the developer for the fast fix and the kindness!
