Cozy Island Idle

Fullscreen option doesn't work, maximised windows revert to small window constantly, there are a lot of flashing screens, clicking on things intuitively takes you back to the front page - just a very user-unfriendly game. Which is sad, because I did love the premise and really tried to enjoy it!

Cozy Island Idle is at best a framework for an Idle game that wasn’t really setup to be a good idle game. You basically set your character to go fishing which can be active or idle. If you like me dislike fishing mini-games you will go the idle route which is about ~20 sec per fish. there's a semblance of a customization system but not well integrated and very limited. I think I got the game for something like 90c but this game isn’t solid enough to recommend even at that price. Pros: -Solid core mechanics and systems cons: -Most of the systems don’t interact well or are poorly balanced -There is content but its barebones. -Camera control system was odd and had no place being so complex in such a shallow game.

Another game by this developer with an offset mouse by about half an inch. Time to refund and never trust this developer and their bad games again.

Terrible camera control. Boring game play loop. Uninspired fish design. Overall, just not fun, and I would recommend trying out a different fishing idle game.

Mostly assets from the internet, especially apparent in the UI that has mismatched elements and stretched/squished together elements or just not a consistent art style. Runs awful even for such a simple game. Gameplay loop is kinda okay but not truly idle, since to progress you need to manage your inventory every 4 minutes, which shows many design flaws and corners to round out to make it flow more.
