Soluna's Mood

"Soluna's Mood" is another disgusting clicker scam game like "banana". Effectively a blockchain/NFT game, but abusing the Steam Marketplace instead of some other blockchain/wallet system... the end result is the same, this isn't a real game, it's just dumped on Steam to scam PC gamers through the Steam Marketplace. It has no value as a serious game, you just click stuff in the hopes an "NFT" marketplace item drops so the developer can get paid for the sale... and of course so the developer can sell ones that he's farmed up himself. So while this looks "free", it's only superficial. The real purpose for this game is for the developer to farm and exploit Steam Inventory items that drop through the game. They can then sell these items in bulk on the Steam Community Marketplace. This kind of Steam abuse, combined with a minimum-viable-product non-game, does no service to gamers whatsoever. This is pollution... it's harmful to everyone. It hurts genuine indie devs, who have to compete with this pollution to get visibility for their sincerely made games. It makes indie devs look bad. It makes it harder for gamers to find those genuinely made games. It's designed to prey on gam…

Cute. Cheerful. Relaxing. Soluna's Mood is one of the better desktop pets I've tried. It tracks both your keyboard strokes and mouse clicks, and the subtle animations make it feel alive without becoming distracting. It even has a gentle idle rotation that adds a nice touch. The constant smile is surprisingly charming, and it's one of those little desktop companions that genuinely puts a smile on your face. Hovering over Soluna shows the current weather along with your click and keystroke counts, which is a nice addition. Everything feels polished, and the overall presentation is clean and pleasant. The only limitation I found is that you can't move Soluna to another monitor if you use a multi-screen setup. It always stays on the primary display. Overall, it's a simple desktop pet that does exactly what it sets out to do. Cute, lightweight, and enjoyable to have around. If you're looking for a desktop companion that adds a little positivity to your day, this one is easy to recommend.

Lovely light game, you can open at the side and leave it be, tend to your work and it will finish it self, not to mention the drops that you can customize your soluna with.

I don't even inherently object to this style of cash over time generator for the dev, mostly because I can't resist anything that even vaguely resembles a tamagatchi/desktop pet, but I absolutely can not recommend this one in its current state. There are basic functionality issues (I can't even use the sun form, only moon) and no patches or other communications this year, plus just straight up frustrating design flaws such as the inability to stack up unclaimed drops. It's too low effort to endorse.

It's nice to have a clicker game that doesn't require luck to get all achievements
