PawMart Tiny Market

Pros: The animals are super cute, and there are a ton to unlock There are a lot of different goods for the supermarket to unlock, and the gameplay will last you a long time. It has a really good idle formula where you can be pretty idle and just let it run (depending on your money and storage space for grocery items) Cons: Not a lot of decor options, there are wallpapers, plants, and floors - that's it. The decor quality of life is painful. You can't duplicate items, you can't put down multiple things at the same time. I wanted to put down like 50 plants and had to individually go back, press it, then press it again to place it. Then at times realized it was the slightly wrong color because you can't just copy them like in other decor games. Placing wallpaper? If there's something in between you also have to reselect every time. You can't just drag to restock every item at once. You have to individually press them all. By the end its like 200 clicks. There's a horrendous achievement that makes you have 30 of the same exact animal as an employee. Remember what I said about how there's lots of animals to unlock? Yeah its pure RNG which one you can hire. Which means I've spent hou…

[h2]Feels like an unpolished Beta demo rather than a full release. Total disappointment.[/h2] I have played this game for over 32 hours now, and I feel completely misled by the Steam trailer. Many features, symbols, and mechanics from the promotional videos are missing. It is clearly designed to artificially stretch your playtime in the background instead of offering an enjoyable, rewarding progression. To be honest, you’ve seen everything after about three hours; there are no new features compared to the demo. You can see new products being added, of course, but nothing actually changes. [b]Horrible Balancing & Overpriced Upgrades:[/b] Earnings are strictly capped at double the purchase price (buy for 2, sell for 4). At the same time, staff upgrades cost an absolute fortune but make almost no noticeable difference. They show barely any improvement in speed or efficiency, meaning you waste thousands of coins on useless upgrades with no real impact. [b]Exhausting Micromanagement:[/b] This is marketed as a relaxing background idle game, but once you unlock 50 to 200 products, it honestly feels like a second job. It becomes pure stress. There are no notifications or clear indicato…

So far, so good! I am almost 40 hours in and here is my personal experience: It is a bit of a slow grind, HOWEVER... It does provide a clear goal if you follow the achievments. The restocking... I wish there was a job for that. <-- that being said, if that does not bother you, and you have no issue restocking supplies every hour or so (if you buy 50-100 at a time) No issue. It grants you plenty of time while still being engaged in a semi-idle game. Gotta keep your peepers on it! I enjoy the slow grind, nothing feels impossible, it doesn't feel too fast (some of these kinds of desktop games I finish within 12 hours. :'c), it is a slow up hill climb to your next goal. Perfect lil game if you need something slow to poke at every now and again!

fun and a great game to leave open while doing work, not distracting at all, it takes little time to mantain the shop going.

The game is cute but if you're expecting a game with something to do task after task, this isnt really the game for you, this is basically just an idle clicker game, buy the product, wait for critters to buy the items from you, restock, earn more product, it's pretty slow paced and kinda boring, it's i suppose more something you'd have run in the background, it's cute, but there isnt anything really 'fun' to do, it's more a game just to not be braindead bored.

(HUGEEEE thank you to the Smallroom team for giving me a key!) I really enjoy this game, genuine honesty!! Its cute, it is easy to pick up, and it is not hard to understand at all. It is a little less "idle" than my every-day workload can handle, so its better for days when I am able to spend a little more time on my study/desktop games. But overall, its fun and cute! One thing I would love to see in a future release is a Pause option, or it would be nice if going to the Main Menu would pause the game. I made the mistake once of thinking the Main Menu paused shopping from my save file lol, came back to an empty store Overall, again its a lovely game. very fun, very cute, and easy to pick up. and not at all intense on storage space (227MB at time of review)
