Spacenap

A tiny chill cozy idle game to accompany your activities that may end up making you daydream (at least that's what it did to me LOL. I like daydreaming about outer space). Price is cheap af even without discount. The game has some flaws and minor inconveniences, but the dev is accepting players' suggestions, actively addressing issues and fixing them. Recently I had an error that caused my save file to be corrupted. I contacted the dev and he went out of his way to create me a new save file containing the same progression as my old one so I don't have to start fresh. I HIGHLY appreciate that effort because he could've just said RIPBOZO and dipped, but he didn't! What a GOAT. Usually, obscure indie games like this are very prone to be abandoned almost immediately after launch (last winter sale I tried 10 new idler games, 5 were bugged that prevented me from completing them and devs were nowhere to be found). Thankfully Spacenap isn't one of them!

Start of the game is a bit too hands on for me, but when you get the automation running it is nice.

this is the most tedious game i've played recently, the dev deliberately makes the endgame boring and time consuming, even after receiving repeated feedback

An adorable space-themed idle game that I only stumbled across thanks to the Steam algorithm. There's actually a decent amount of clicking needed early on to get some of the stars, and coins are very slow to accumulate at this stage, but I've decided not to worry about that and to just enjoy the sight of the little hammock-in-the-clouds nearby when I'm working on stuff. The aesthetic is so cute (reminds me of Starbound for some reason), and I can tell this was made with love and care!

Very good idle to collect game. Instead of a (usually) fishing idle game, this time you collect stars, so many stars and discover constellations while the game sit at the corner of your screen. You can customize the character, and the design is adorable. Can take a while to 100% but that the charm of those type of game. The dev is nice and hard working, still updating the game for any possible bug. It is in my opinion, a must play if you like the idle at the bottom of your screen/in the corner genre.

Really cute game, a bit more straightforward than similar ones like Cornerpond. It's cute, requires little input over a long period, and you can come back now and then to make new constellations. Still exploring the later game stuff but it's been nice. I've had an issue recently with the transparent background of the game going black, so it's a big black square on my screen with the game in the center of it. I'm sure that's something fixable, just haven't figured it out/know where to ask.
