A Little Shop in Squirrel Town Reviews

I find it really enjoyable and relaxing to play. A nice change of pace. I'd like to see better, more detailed tutorials. This game in its current iteration doesn't give enough explanation/details about how to use items. It'd be nice to have a fridge option for food, as it fills up my inventory pretty quickly. I also feel like I need more room inside my shop/a way to expand it. I definitely don't have enough room. It also seems like I can only upgrade one counter at a time? However, it's relaxing and an enjoyable time sink.

Its a sweet little game. You can grow/collect/buy items and sell it. The artstyle is very sweet. I realy like it. Best things: 1) The devs answer very quick and improve the game asap. 2) The price of the game is realy low if you think about all the work it takes to make such a game. Gabb the games as long as you can get it so cheap! :)

I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS! I've always loved cute games where i can relax and destroy things, (i know it's weird but i like it) destroy things as in monsters. I highly recommend and greatly advise patience when first playing. it is worth everything!

Simple, but lovley graphics. Fun shop/item management/dungen crawler

Really enjoyed this game and can't wait to see what else is to come. It has a similar feel to Stardew but still very different. I really enjoyed the shop system.

It's a mixture of Recettear and Harvest Moon. It's a very relaxing/your own pace type of game. Not complicate and very simple/easy game. Have a lot of activities to do in game. Grow crops, fish, explore dungeons, unlock crafting recipes (cooking/armor/weapon/accessory), and sell them at your shop. Collect monster cubs from dungeons for as livestocks for loot. Each type gives different loot. Level up your fairy to help in dungeon (kinda stupid as it attacks the direction you're facing, if you're running away then it doesn't work that well) Level up your Shop, Fishing, and Farming Skills--it's not explained in game at all but you can kinda tell the perks (better fish show up, chance for more drop when harvesting crops) You can also do whole sale, but not much profit that way (or sell water for 2G each). **Note: the English isn't the greatest, but you can still understand it, so it's not gibberish. I don't really mind it as everything else is fantastic and I would prefer the dev focus on other aspect of the game first (like more content), as this isn't a novel/dialogue based game.

This is such a cute game. It is obviously *heavily* inspired by Stardew Valley. There are a few bugs but since it is early access I'm sure they'll be fixed. There are a few spelling errors, but I'm sure it is just translation errors. Great game!

You know what. I don't let reviews make a decision for me, but I honestly do wish that even though I know I didn't have to spend the (discounted) money on this game, I did anyway, and I regret it. It seems as if the dev has ceased updating for it, the translations are absolutely something out of this world; not only do they not describe what is going on, there are also blank bars that I -assume- were there for telling me what I am picking up. Except I have no idea what I was picking up. Because the bars were blank. Appreciation for ESL game developers who try to translate in to English, but this was just...a lot to take in. Or not, as the case may be. You, from what I could figure out, as the premise of the game is super simple - Get a shop, sell things at your shop, go explore a little forest, and come back to sell those things at the shop, too. Get some new counters, fish up some fish, feed them to Pom, your actually useful in the forest shoulder fairy, rinse, repeat. Except on two days a week where you can go to the market and...get absolutely nothing you can't get from wandering about for three minutes in the forest. That aside, it's an obvious game, made in a popular genre, that could have been adorable, but it's seemingly been abandoned. The forest itself is something else, too. Just a real keen piece of work. I go out, to find eighty stone, so I can upgrade my shop, see? And I get 25 or so on my dangerous trip through a few levels (never have I got past 18, because it gets dark too fast to do so), I return home, and lo! I have three stone. Where did the other stone go? Was I just picking them up and hurling them in to the sun? No idea. All I know is I don't have room in my shop for more things. And my hobby is apparently tossing stones in to the ether instead of lugging them back for my QOL upgrade. All that aside, I would have gladly continued to play the game, -if it was to be updated- and all of these odd little bugs fixed. They are not. Even at six dollars, heck, even at three. No, one dollar. I would not recommend buying this UNLESS the developer decides to come back and fix what makes it a rough, rocky road. Or rather, a rough, non-rocky road, seeing as I still don't have enough stones to upgrade my shop, and at this rate, I never will.

Fun and easy crafting game. No stress related to hunger and stuff. Wish the look and feel was a little better. If you wanted to be a shopkeep, this game is for you. Craft, Cook food items for better margins. Pretty good game.

Cute little game and it's not a bad way to spend a few hours. However unfortunately I can't recommend it as the dev seems to have abandoned it (complete silence and no updates for 15 months now). It does have promise, but it could definitely use some polish. The English translations are terrible though understandable, but I'm sure some players including myself wouldn't have minded helping the dev with improving them before a potential full release. Storage and inventory management is a bit annoying since stack sizes are too small (For instance gems don't stack at all) and chests only have 4 slots, so you end up with so many more chests than what is reasonable for storing so few things. Generally the game just needs more content - more options for upgrading your shop, upgrading storages, maybe some armorstands to display clothing and armor and over all more to do. It took me about 7 hours to play through the entire game and getting all the achievements, so a bit more content and some polish would have made the full price worth it. Currently you can farm, forage, fish, cook and craft, fight your way through the 50 levels of the forest dungeon and collect monster and animal cubs to put in a pasture to produce resources for you. The different features are unlocked as you progress through the first 1-2 weeks of the game and after that you unlock more armor and cooking recipes by progressing in the dungeon. The combat isn't hard - just basic melee and roll to avoid enemies, but you do need to craft the different armor and weapon upgrades to survive the entire way through. Might be one for farm sim collectors to pick up at a discount - just don't expect a super polished game. I didn't encounter any bugs at all though.
