I power-gamed this the first 10 hours or so and really enjoyed that for what it was, but eventually the game became too grindy with options for friendship/relationship building too spaced out. If you're looking for a Stardew Valley surrogate you'll be disappointed but if you like cute clicker-types like Forager you will probably enjoy it.

I played this with my 7YO and we really enjoyed it. It was just challenging enough to be fun for them without being frustrating, and the ability for one yarny to carry the other meant we never got stuck. Though I will say, the story in the background completely eluded me, I have no idea what that was about.

One of the weaker Mario games, with slightly wonky controls and tiny sprites, and it turns into an unfortunate shooter at the end for no apparent reason, but it's a short game, forgiving in lives and checkpoints, and it's worth a visit just for the general weirdness (the UFOs and Egyptian tombs were my personal favorites) and the music.

A solid cute 'em up that has gained fame for its aftermarket price. Powerups are obtained through a shop system and the player is granted a generous health bar. Boss design was a weak spot, since the player can afford to take (many) hits the game isn't concerned with offering a tight experience, making this a colorful "see the sights" shmup. I enjoyed emulating this one and will probably return to it from time to time.
