If you love cosy Dorfromantik-like city builders, try Bubblegum Galaxy.
City builders are having a big moment right now, and I love ones that play around with the genre to bring a totally different experience to the table. Lauren Mortion recently wrote about. You know, the ones that take the stress of impending invasions or natural disasters away from your sweaty, stressed-out hands. I couldn't agree more, and that's why I immediately fell in love with Bubblegum Galaxy during the Wholesome Direct.
Racking up a high score is important, but each level also has quests to complete that earn me stars. More stars means more unlocked levels and planets to restore. Some tiles might have special missions attached to them too, like having a certain amount of coloured tiles grouped together or an exact number of tree tiles connected. Completing these missions gives even more tiles, allowing for bigger planets and higher scores. Yeah, about that.
Being able to take a break between levels and spit out some Animal Crossing-style garble at human bunnies, robots or floating star receptionists is something I'm totally here for. It's a nice respite between plugging tiny tiles together, and it seems that the story will eventually unravel just how the galaxy got deleted in the first place. Maybe I'll even be able to befriend a few of my coworkers along the way.
The demo is available on Steam right now. It claims to be about an hour long, but I rather guiltily spent around double that time trying to beat my personal scores and complete each level's quests. It's a devilishly moreish demo, striking the balance between cosy and challenging. If you've been on the quest for a Dorfromantik-like, give Bubblegum Galaxy's celestial twist a whirl.
