Mini Crafty

Mini Crafty

This game is very basic but has a lot of potential. There are definitely a few bugs, and for how short the game is it does feel strange to have to sit there and wait for the right materials to spawn before you can progress. It is also infuriating when you die to a swarm of enemies and have to restart the entire game. I think the crafting and inventory system is interesting but there is only a few crafting recipes, and I have yet to figure out the purpose of the minions. The audio and screenshake left me with a headache and there is no menu that I have seen to tweak any game settings. I would love to recommend this game but in its current state I cannot say I would spend more than a couple of dollars on it.

At first, I have no idea about what the game want me to do. After I unlock 3 maps and die 3 times, I still have no idea. Why don’t you set save points ?

Settlement Survival

The game is very involved and quickly gets you immersed in the construction of your town. The difficulty level is fairly challenging, although it’s hard to see how you can really “fail” at the game. It just slows you down if you mess up. Feels quite enjoyable and even addictive when you are playing, but the game does have a few shortcomings.

First of all, it’s very open ended as in there is nothing to really aim for other than a few achievements, most of which can be gained quite easily. There are other scenarios that will be released later though, so they may address this issue.

I really like this game - restarted a few times to get used to the disasters, under- and overpopulation crises. I have played Simcity, Cities: Skylines… I highly recommend it :)

A few things to suggest:

  1. Some quick-upgrade tool - at this point I have over 100 garden villas, luxury boarding houses, and hundreds of production buildings. It would be great if there’s a tool to quickly upgrade them all, because it is painful to add cats, toilets, ovens, tools, scarecrows one building at a time.
