Pupa

Low effort marketplace grift.

No item drops.

"Pupa" is another cancerous non-game "clicker" with no purpose other than to manipulate the Steam community marketplace. It's designed for the developer to farm the game and then sell Steam marketplace items at a premium, much like the "banana" clicker. This rubbish is harmful to Steam and to the gaming industry. It gives indie devs a bad name. It takes up visibility, so genuine indie devs have to compete with this crap to find an audience for their games. It makes it harder for gamers to find genuinely made games. This features really godawful, lazy pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks bad because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good.

Pupa has a lot of potential as a pixel art item drop and trading game, but it currently feels like it’s in its early stages. The concept is solid, and the Steam market integration adds a nice layer of trading fun. However, with many features still missing and dropped skins not yet usable, the game feels half-finished. That said, if the developers follow through on their plans and polish things up, this could become worth something. Keeping an eye on for future updates, as it could truly spread its wings and shine.
