Hey everyone!

We're very close to finishing our first game called Gloopalaxy! It's a small game in which you'll have to catch and study strange creatures called the gloops from all over the galaxy!

You've been assigned to a Gloopology research station in the milky way, where some recent unknown activity has been detected. Catch fun creatures, study them, and fullfill -mostly- scientific requests by making new discoveries!

Here's the Steam page if you want to check it out :)

Hello CozyGamers,

I'm the developer of Teddy’s Haven, a cozy fantasy shop simulator inspired by warmth, exploration, decorating, and creating a peaceful place to unwind.

Its somehow already been a full year since launch, and I honestly just wanted to say thank you. Before release, and especially after release, the CozyGamers community gave Teddy’s Haven a chance when almost nobody knew what it was. That support genuinely changed my life and helped keep development going during some very difficult moments.

Over this past year Teddy’s Haven has grown massively because of player feedback. The community helped shape so many of the updates and quality of life improvements added since launch. Farming was expanded with magical crops and harvesting systems. Fishing was added with cozy orb magic and aquariums. Decorating, storage, automation, accessibility, optimization, controller support, Steam Deck support, shop management, and countless small frustrations players mentioned have all been improved over time because people took the time to share their thoughts.

If you haven't heard of it before. Check it out on Steam by clicking the following link.
Teddy's Haven - A Fantasy Inspired Shop Simulator

Try the Demo - Your progress will carry over to the main game if you win or purchase Teddy's Haven.

The game is definitely not for everyone, and I fully understand that. It tries to do its own thing and focus more on comfort, freedom, and relaxing systems instead of pressure or punishment. And communities like CozyGamers are the reason I wanted to keep going in the first place, and I wanted to focus on a positive safe space for everyone.

So as a thank you, I’d love to give away 10 Steam keys for Teddy’s Haven to this community.

If you’d like a chance to win, just leave a comment below. I’ll randomly pick and announce the winners in two weeks.

Thank you all again, sincerely. Whether you’ve supported Teddy’s Haven directly, told a friend about it, left feedback, or simply spent time being kind to others in cozy spaces online, it means more than you probably realize.

I hope you all have a wonderful week.

Edit: Since there are a lot more people joining the giveaway then I initially thought would. I'm going to add 5 more keys, making it a total of 15 Steam Keys being given away. Thank you all and feel free to try out the Demo!

Hey everyone! I want to share the announcement trailer for a cozy management game I’ve been pouring my heart into, called 5 Blocks of Happiness.

The story kicks off when the main character, Clementine, is put on strict bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy. Her husband Julian decides to sell his car, quit his city commute, and open a small neighborhood shop to support them. Your job is to help them build a supportive, thriving community around their shop just in time for their baby’s arrival!

You have to manage the daily budget, fulfill your neighbors' specific daily cravings, and keep the town’s average Happiness above 50% to attract new residents.

It releases this year, but I’m incredibly nervous/excited to have a demo ready for Steam Next Fest starting June 15th!

I’d love to know what you think of the diorama art style!

Please look forward to the announcement of the 2026 Apple Design Awards winners in the coming weeks! 

I've played multiple games like this on my phone and love them all except the ads.

I don't know what they were recalled they were all add filled knock offs. I want more cozy games for night time or long drives.

I don't really care about the extra 15 bucks it just that I don't want to buy the dlc version down the line and have wasted 20 bucks I could have spent on a different game like unpacking BC I'm thinking of that one too.

Hi everyone!
We're devs behind Urban Jungle and we're happy to announce our new game - Petals & Pots: Plant Shop Simulator!

🌷Grow, nurture and sell ton of plants
✨Customize your character
🛋️Expand & decorate your store
🤝Befriend locals

Since we adore plants and got feedback from players that they'd love to water/replant/grow plants in Urban Jungle, we've decided to dive deep into simulation genre. The game is in early WIP, but the demo is already brewing 🫶

Wishlist Petals & Pots, it means a lot for our team!

Thank u and have a great day,
Maria, Kiunnei and Kirill from KYLYK

Happy to answer any questions about the process, not just trying to sell my game.

I wanted something that was like Pokemon, but using real animals and in the real world. The aim of the game is twofold: get people out into nature & get them appreciating wild animals.

I've been playing with my friends and family and it's already fulfilling my aim!

You start off with a couple nets and healing potions (for the animals) and have to physically go out into natural areas, e.g. parks, woods, lakes etc, to photo and catch real wild animals. Once photo'ed, you can throw a net to capture them and once you have your first animal you can battle the wild animals to level up your own, which increases their stats, teaches them new moves and evolves them (yes, just like Pokemon). For example, a caterpillar will evolve into a chrysalis, then butterfly. You can also catch any evolution stage directly.

I came up with a clever way to have a progression system, the further you are from human areas, e.g. residential, industrial etc, the higher level the animals are. Once you get like 1 km away from built-up areas you need to battle the animals down first before you capture them. It's not easy!

I wanted health centres and shops to be well distributed throughout the real world, so I came up with using places of worship (churches, temples, mosques etc) and using real world grocery stores as in-game stores. You have to physically walk to one to buy your items and heal your animals!

If you're going out on a walk, you need to actually stock up on nets, potions etc. So, the game is not super easy, but I think that's what makes it fun and there's not a lot you can do in game from within your home, you have to physically get out in nature.

The currency is leaves, which you get for discovering, battling and capturing animals. If you're the first person in the world to discover an animal (very likely at the moment!) you get a bonus as well. Also, I use an official endangered species list, so more endangered animals give more leaves when you capture them etc. Each animal has it's full taxonomy listed within the game, so in your "Dex" you can see all the species from the different branches of the animal kingdom that you've caught.

On top of this, where available, I have the real animal's call within the game, which I think is kinda fun.

PvP: you can add friends and either trade or battle with them. Trading helps you fill out your Animal kingdom and improve your team. Battling awards leaves from the losing player to the winner!

As well as this, other cool stuff:
- it obviously uses a map of the real world, but it also has real-time accurate building shadows based on your Lat Long and the position of the sun, time of year etc.
- has live real world weather in the game, e.g. cloudy, raining, snowing, wind.

The game is procedurally generated based off a real world map, so the first time any player visits a new location, I quickly fetch the map data and render our game world on top of it (would be too expensive to render the entire globe ahead of time).

For AI people: I generate the animal moveset, evolution chain and sprite images in real-time the first time a species is discovered by any player. This takes ~10 seconds, during which I just say "Researching" within the game. So, it is possible to generate game assets on the fly, I haven't seen anyone else do this.

It's available on Android as well, but I need your Google email as it's in closed testing until I get 12 players using it for 2 weeks.

You just buy the game once and you can play it forever, no in-app purchases, I don't sell your data or advertise anything. I just wanted a simple game that people can play.

Hello everyone!

I’ve been working on my cozy little shop game for a long time now, and today the open playtest for Tiny Shop finally started
I’m honestly so happy and excited to finally share it with you all! Very scary and nervous, but still happy!

In Tiny Shop, you run your own tiny cozy store, decorate it, organize shelves, help customers, and slowly turn a small space into your dream shop at your own pace.

The game is all about relaxing vibes, simple cozy mechanics, and creating a warm little place you’d want to spend time in. I’d really love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Check out Tiny Shop on steam

An open-world co-op adventure about sailing a scrappy ship through a northern archipelago, exploring the uncharted, finding lost treasure, and uncovering the mystery of a fallen star.

You will of course be able to fish, set up a tent, make a fire and relax for a while if that's your cup of tea! There's no combat or deadline, go at your own pace.

We are a very small team, if you want to support us, a wishlist or a share would mean a lot!
