Here are some of the games I’ve been playing lately! I clearly love cute art styles, cozy little games, decorating, cats, cafés, and simple puzzles.

What other cute and fun mobile games should I try? My iPad still has plenty of space, so please keep the recommendations coming! 💕

I’m obsessed with tortoiseshell cats. Are there any tortoiseshell cats in any video games? Don’t even have to be cozy games.

Hi! I'm a 3D artist who has worked on Paw Patrol and Dora, and Pack Pals is my first step into low-poly game and cozy game development! ( LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-b-reddick-77a16329/ )

Pack Pals is a relaxed Android ( iOS Coming after! ) game about collecting charms and pins and hanging them on your backpacks! 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!!

Testing Links coming soon!

We're a small indie team and we've wanted to make something cosy for a while now after releasing our first game (dark fantasy souls-like). This is what we've been working on for months now.

It's a cosy management sim where you sail down the river on a teahouse boat through a Ghibli-inspired world. You can explore little river towns, forage real herbs, and brew tea for whoever you meet along the way.

We wanted to make it a bit more interesting too so every town has its own little drama unfolding, quests, and even side quests that you get pulled right into it!

First two images are concept art we did like a month ago and we still look at it whenever we're stressed lol. The last two are how it actually looks in engine now.

Honestly, making something this soft, warm, and cozy has been such a nice change for the team. but since it's still our first, we wanted your opinion.

Would you guys dock your boat here for a while? Is the world worth spending hours in? Does it make you happy?

If anyone's interested in playtesting, you can check out this link: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/2406379/199858136187667656/share

Hi everyone! I’m part of the team making Coldline: Disconnect, a pixel-art game where you work undercover as a repair technician during the Cold War.

I wanted to share the hands-on repair side of the game: opening devices, removing screws, and working through repair tasks. These GIFs show some of the interactions and little details we’ve been working on.

The full game also includes espionage and tense situations alongside the repair work, which is worth knowing if you prefer entirely relaxing experiences.

Our Steam demo arrives on October 16, 2026. If you enjoy games about tinkering with old electronics, we’d love to hear your thoughts after you try it!

I've always loved having Christmas villages set up during Christmas time. This game tries to capture a little of that feeling (for a lot cheaper and takes up less space).

You can build up the village how you want. This first year there are 2 village themes: an Old English village and a farm. After you've built it how you want, you can decorate everything! Once you are done, you can explore your village on foot, or share it with others.

It will be available in mid November on Steam and mobile.

Hi all!

I'm Tom, one of the 2 developpers working on Knick Knack Stack. We just released a big gameplay update and QoL overall to our public Steam demo!

Knick Knack Stack is a physics-based puzzle game inspired by Art of Balance, mixed with visual novel elements. You travel the world, goof around with the physics, build tiny piles of objects and take cute memory pictures of your creations! It's meant to be relaxing and a bit goofy!

We gathered feedback from our 1st demo and agreed that the puzzles lacked in variety. That's why we decided to add new mechanics in every main levels. These mechanics are unique to their level and change the way you interact with it. Solve the mysteries of the magic glyphs in the Valley of the Kings, play with the crocodile at Dakhla oasis and dig new objects from the ground in the Sahara desert!

We're also planning a 2nd update in the future, entirely focused on narration. This update will bring a revised script with a better introduction to characters, and overalls to most of the dialogues in the game with shorter dialogues, better pacing, more interactions between characters, new pictures and less annoying conversation subjects. But this will take a bit of time to make, as we need to write everything in French, and then pass it to our translator to get the English version.

Feel free to ask anything, about the game or about us, I'll gladly answer your questions!

After way to long tonight I figured out how to make zoom in work on the Steamdeck. This is more than just the one zoom this is the up close zoom.

First you need to update your controller settings to add control key (if you haven't already).

After that when you want to zoom in, click whatever you mapped the control key and then (while holding down the first key) click either L1 or R1. The L side will scroll in the R1 will scroll out.

I ended up mapping both L4 and R5 to the control keys. Then I could kitty corner and not have it be obnoxious.

This is one of two newbie areas in my open world RPG. If you choose Druid as your starting class, it drops you into this area, The Moors of Vin, to start your adventure. It's an area full of lush plant life, serene ponds and streams, and unfortunately spiders, rats and some unpleasant characters from the nearby Gor faction.

Each "tile" in the game world is 1024 px x 1024 px, all hand drawn / curated. It takes forever, but I am happy with how it is looking, and enjoying the process.

I also recently added a system to level up your spells, allowing them to evolve and strengthen as you use them (and are leveling up yourself!). That is the little pop up that appears after blasting the Rat with "Lightning Strike" :).

Thanks for reading, and feel free to ask any questions about the game in the comments <3

Hey, a few days ago, a buddy of mine released the demo for his upcoming super chill incremental game. It's called Valehands, and based on an older gamejam project of his called Lumberite. You manage your dwarves through the day until dusk is falling, buy buildings, new rooms, get lots of upgrades.

See how the dwarves cut down trees, other dwarves pick them up, every morning you can shoot new seeds through the seed catapult.

If you want a chill management/incremental game, check out the demo on Steam :D

No AI is used in this project.

Hi everyone!

I’m having a massive proud husband moment today. For a long time, I’ve watched my wife pour her heart and soul into solo-developing her dream game, Yatai Talee —a cozy simulation game where you run your own Japanese street food cart (solo or in local couch co-op!).

In the game, you chop fresh ingredients, simmer and assemble custom ramen bowls, crack open Fortune Cookies for roguelite perks at the end of each shift, and upgrade your little street stall (complete with warm lighting and neighborhood cats!).

Today is a huge milestone for her because the game is officially featured in the Steam Cooking Fest! Since she's a solo dev working tirelessly behind the scenes, I wanted to share her work and celebrate how far she's come.

If you love cozy games or cooking sims, checking out the page or adding it to your wishlist would be the biggest morale boost for her:

Thank you so much for taking a look! I’ll make sure to read all your comments and feedback to her tonight!

AI Disclosure: No generative AI was used in any part of this game. My wife is a 3D artist and game designer who handcrafted all the art, models, and game design herself, and I occasionally helped her out with some of the coding/technical parts.

Hey everyone, so i have been putting some time into a game i liked the idea of. It's a calm merge puzzle: you drop little buildings on a floating island, and when three alike touch they merge into the next size up, huts into cottages into houses, all the way to a landmark. Each world has its own twist: fireflies that carry every lit home onto one roof, a volcano that lifts everything around it, an underwater one where houses float.

It's called Sky City Merge: Cozy Puzzle and it's free on Android.

I'd love to know your thoughts. and which world you'd pick, and what makes a puzzle game feel cozy to you. All feedbacks are welcome, i am just getting started and just did as much i knew.

Hello! We are making a "cleaning" like game about picking over 10000 fruits, by hand or with tools. It's called A Game About Picking Fruits!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5243280/A_Game_About_Picking_Fruits/

It's similar to Leaf it Alone or PowerWash Simulator. I love this kind of games myself, so we (my friend and I) made sure that it scratches the same itch as these games.

We do not use AI, unless you count Google Translate as an AI :D

The whole point is to pick all the fruits in the orchards (YES, there will be more levels than just this 1!) and put them all into the correct boxes. You will have different tools to help you with this job. A vacuum is one of them, but the game can be completely finished without any tools, or even without any upgrades. The game has some incremental parts, but as I said, it's all optional and can be played in whatever playstyle you like.

If you are interested, please wishlist on steam and tomorrow (Friday) we are launching demo!

Brick by Brick: Tidy Up the Small Town!

I'm the developer of Pet The Damn Cat! at Crowned Games.

Between the timed cat-petting shifts, you can wind yarn into balls and catch falling kibble with a sliding bowl. These are two screens from the full game.

Pet The Damn Cat! is coming soon. A separate free Steam demo covers Cozy Cottage and Sunny Backyard.

Would you pick yarn or kibble between shifts?

Hey there! It's been a few months since I last shared this project, and I've been hard at work adding new features. Including:

- New "Tickets" mechanic! Players get rewarded with tickets for overshooting the goal score, encouraging more risky combo chasing.
- Market! Players can spend their tickets in market, this allows a lot more strategic decision making then before.
- STICKERS! This one I'm most excited about because of how much emergent gameplay it creates. Stickers can be applied to any card in your deck, and different combos can create pretty wild effects!
-Controller Support!

If you're interested to try it out, and help shape the future of the game, I'm opening up a small closed playtest which you can join through Discord.
