Cottonville

So cheap and so much fun! It is an easy relaxing game and cute as can be. Would be great for all ages. I'm 65!! lol

One of the cutest games I've played in a very long time. The gameplay is simple, but for $1.09 on sale, I find it very much worth it. You grow plants to weave into fabric or use as dye, stitch together clothes in your atelier, and serve customers according to their desires. You can dress them up however you want, but if you match their clothing to the color, fabric type, and style they specify, you get bonus money in the form of tips. There's really not much to this game, but somehow, I very much like it. The character customization is cute as well. You have multiple hair styles, colors, and eye styles to choose from. The only thing I have found baffling/displeasing is that clothing items are single use -- once you wear it, you have to make it again if you change your clothing. Not a great feature, but at least most items aren't too difficult to make. I found the music pleasant and unobtrusive. Get it on sale and have fun playing dress up!

I got this for fairly cheap on sale. In its current state though, I can't recommend it. Mainly because the farming, barebones as it is, is the most tedious farming I have ever encountered. The watering can holds enough water to water five or six crops (can't remember the exact number off the top of my head) before needing a refill, and can only water one spot at a time. So it's VERY tedious, and farming is pretty important for amassing fabric and dyes. Besides that, the game is also just a bit too barebones in general at the moment. There are NPCs at the town but they don't really seem to contribute anything besides shopkeepers. I don't think I saw any of them in my shop as customers. It would have been cooler to see an overlap between customers and the town. The town honestly feels kind of pointless. The gameplay loop does have potential though. You actually make a LOT of money off the clothes, I was able to rake in over 1k on the first day. And it's interesting to try to fill as many of the requests with limited items. The raw materials are the main issue. In the short time I played, I barely ever "dressed up" anyone to wear coordinated outfits because the materials got used …

I can't recomend this one. - The view is zoomed in on a map with very few landmarks which make it easy to get lost which makes gathering unfun. - The dressed up portion is very cute. - The crafting portion makes it difficult to tell what you have and what you need. - Each farming action takes over a second and the water can needs to be refilled 4-5 times to water your small fields. With a bit more time to cook this could be a really sweet easy to pick up game.

x-- 7/10 --x Really charming and cozy. The simple mechanics make it a pleasure to play when you need a change of pace.

⋆˙⟡ ⋆.˚ ⊹₊⟡ ⋆ Worth sale price (about $1) ⋆˙⟡ ⋆.˚ ⊹₊⟡ ⋆ This game reminds me of old school social games where you can dress up your character & can do a few simple tasks to fill your time (minus the social aspect). It is very slow paced (animations take a long time) and the controls are a little clunky (I often have to press 2 or 3 times for a button press to register). It's very cute and extremely casual. I like that I can make clothes & sell them in my little shop. I don't expect I will spend a huge amount of time playing this game, but it's good for short play sessions & cute screenshots. ♡
