was really looking forward to this and the graphics & ooblets are really good and cute but I agree with most other reviews bc I also couldn't rly get hooked on it :T
it does lack a bit of sincerety and agency in some of the writing and story and collecting the ooblets feels more gimmicky than exiting

It's a breath of fresh air for this kind of game but it gets repetitive after a while. Hope I can stick to it a little longer but knowing me, maybe not hahaha
Every time I come back to this game I lower my rating. It's cute, polished, has a point of view, but Jesus CHRIST is the gameplay loop boring. I have no idea how they essentially transposed the Stardew formula into a different style and lost the playability along the way.
Same vibe as Animal Crossing/Stardoot valley, but ALOT more goofier and endearing. Did eventually get abit bored with the repetitive gameplay, but can appreciate the creativity, adorable artwork and humour - might pick up casually again one day.
I really like the concept of this game, luckly i got a promo code so I didnt pay the full price when it released and I know its still in early access but right now its just a bit boring and i already "finished" the game and i have to wait for future updates.
looking forward when the game is finished I know it has potencial for it

it's in early access at the time, so this review may change as they add more and more stuff
I absolutely love the concept!! farming sim mixed with monster collection sounds like a dream come true for me. whether Ooblets delivers..... ehhhhhh
it's a fun game with some really cute monsters and some nice settings, I won't deny that. dance battles are fine. but I think most of my issues with this game lie in the very..... mid 2010s Tumblr way all the characters speak, to the point where it feels almost patronizing (and I was knee deep in Tumblr in the mid 2010s so I think that says a lot). it tries way too hard to be cute when it's already sugary sweet and it falls straight on its ass the moment anyone speaks
not being able to predict what the next day's weather is gonna be like also sucks but maybe they'll fix that in a later update. who knows

unapologetic in its weirdness

The game was very cute, but I couldn’t get into it for some reason. It seemed kinda disorganized and, at some points, like they were trying too hard (particularly with the slang. It was hard to read). The ooblets are so cute though!!
So much potential but the loop is too slow
Really enjoyed the beginning of this game.
But once I got a bit further into the main story (P F****), it just got way too repetitive for me. My other big beefs: dance battles are my favorite part of the game and until you unlock a cool tournament spot it's hard to actually do them consistently. Secondly, the cool-ironic internet-y writing just irked me. I just wanted an ounce of sincerity, please.
But! I still had fun, and maybe one day I'll head back when I have more patience.

Super charming and fun. Absolutely love it!
Really enjoyed the beginning of the game but the composer (pedro silva / slimegirls) being outed as an abuser and the developers never addressing this makes it very hard to recommend.
The dance battle mechanic is rad, I like the world, but the music is such an important part of the game and it's completely soured for me.

EARLY ACCESS REVIEW
i like the gameplay a lot and how tactile things feel, but the writing is just not for me personally. it's extremely cutesy, to the point where i'm struggling to figure out who this game is targeted towards? if it's children, it's patronising; if it's adults, it's tiring. there are a lot of made up words (humans are 'oobin'), deliberately misspelled words (reconstitooter), or things are bizarrely renamed (drippy can instead of watering can, dirt scraper instead of hoe). this is fine, but not for me.
also, currently, there's not much to do, due to it being in early access. i'd stave off on this one for a little while. my 3 stars will hold even for future updates, though, unfortunately.

Way too damn cute and the soundtrack is great. The dance battles are entertaining and mixing in a farming simulator makes this game really promising.
Excellent so far, exactly what I needed in the moment, can't wait for the final product.
