Wabisabi SushiDerby

Fantastic little game! The sounds and graphics are just perfect, This DEV is awesome.

This game is quite simple, but it's very addictive, fun, and absolutely adorable. I've enjoyed earning the full sushi topping tree and playing around with the new sushis. The card deck-based skills are really fun to mess around with and figure out how to use and combine to get the fastest sushi. Sweet little game, 100% worth the $5. Give it a try! Edit: I finished the game! I absolutely loved it. My only complaints are that the Pride of Corn race feels next to impossible with both of those pairs of chopsticks on the right side of the course. And a few of the later races, and also one of the earlier Salmon races, feel almost entirely based on RNG/luck. It gets quite frustrating at times, and took me many tries to get through those. I wish they were significantly more skill based than luck based. The final S1 race feels appropriately difficult, and I really felt that elation of achieving something hard once I finally won! 10/10 loved it, will return to watch the adorable sushis run around when I'm feeling down.

This game is a fun mix of sushi, horse racing, and roguelite. I think I ran the credits on the game about 3.5 hours in, and I've won all the races before about 10 hours of play, but it is a super cute game. The later levels can feel a bit unfair at times, and it would be nice to have some more endgame content, but it s a fun game that is a great way to blow off steam at the end of the day.

Neat little sushi game.

Wabisabi SushiDerby is developed by ITAMAE STUDIO and published by Kodansha. Few indie games are willing to embrace such an unconventional idea as wholeheartedly as this one. Set in a whimsical world where sushi are bred, trained, and entered into high-stakes races, the game immediately captures attention with its unique premise. What initially appears to be a simple novelty gradually reveals itself as a thoughtful combination of management simulation, creature raising, and arcade racing. By placing players in the role of an aspiring sushi artisan seeking victory in the prestigious S1 Cup, the game establishes a surprisingly compelling motivation that carries the experience from beginning to end. The heart of the game lies in preparing and nurturing your sushi racers. Players experiment with a variety of ingredients and toppings, each affecting important attributes such as acceleration, endurance, and special talents. Mastering ingredients becomes an important part of progression, encouraging experimentation instead of relying on a single strategy. There is a satisfying sense of ownership over every competitor you create, especially when a carefully trained sushi begins consistent…

a silly, cute and fun game. there is very little gameplay, but the concept is great and well executed. for that price, you get enough fun for an evening and thats it, it does its job.
