Ooblets

I got this on steam because I originally played it on my switch and loved it. A super cute monster collector game.

10/10

Played this game when it first came out, so happy it's now on Steam!
Very cute, colorful, slow-paced game. Combines cozy elements of farming and resource collecting with fun creature battles, gives off vibes of Anime Crossing with a bit of Pokemon, very self-paced and unique! Many new friends to plant and collect! The rules, controls, and basics are easy to learn and follow, there's strategy to the dance battles, so many different critters with special abilities and skills, ability to build relationships with some NPCs, decorate, dress up and customize your character. Very laid-back but can be as "grind-y" as you want it to be! The art style and aesthetics are on point, the characters are simple yet adorable, the music is incredible, the way characters speak and all the good vibes you get from immersing yourself into this game, in my opinion, are worth it. I love Ooblets and I hope this game will continue to actively update and improve!
The only downside is that so far, all special events have been happening in-real-time, which locks players out of certain things and experiences until whenever the developers bring it back/live again. (and they nerfed my favorite ooblet smh, let him be stronk)

The game is fine. But I remember the devs shit-talking Steam and its users back when they made an Epic-exclusive deal. And now, here it is (who could've seen this coming?) I would get it only on sale for that reason alone, especially considering how they've tried to conveniently sweep that under the rug.

It's extremely fun and cute with a pretty art style. I only have two complaints, that being that the dance battles are a bit too easy and that progress is restricted by how much money you can make, but making money is extremely tedious.

It's adorably weird, seemingly effortlessly funny and so charming that even after finishing the story and collecting one of every Ooblet I still find myself returning to Oob to have "just one more dance party" and just hang out with my silly little dudes

GOOD

So Cute!
Ooblets is an adorable game and i had this game on my xbox before i got it on my pc.

ooblets is a creature collector game but instead of "catching" them you dance battle them and plant the seeds they give you to grow more little guys.
PROS:
o adorable
o fun mechanics and things ive never seen in creature collection games before
o you can customize your house which i looove
o there is a story but it is not the main focus and nothing forces you to do it
o bubbly cute graphics and goofy animations with great lighting
o character customization!
o in a new update you can open a shop which i enjoy

CONS:
o after the first go, the story is repetative and is needed to unlock some parts of the map
o dance battles are easy and get to be a trivial task at a certain point

In conclusion, i want more from you, developers! more ooblets, more secrets, more events, more new mechanics after completing the story. the game was great but there are so many things i want from you guys that i KNOW you can do!
the game is lovely and is very stylized and new which is a breath of fresh air to me.
overall rating 7/10

Honestly I thought it was a great game until the soggy balloons showed up. Having to fish and hope RNG lets you get the items you need. You have a max 10% chance to get the balloons and after 60+ hours I had enough bait for 15 attempts and after save scumming for 30 minutes caught 4 balloons the whole time. Until this point I was really liking the game, I was planning on catching all the Ooblets and just having fun. After this I couldn't have beaten the game fast enough. If I wasn't already at the very end I probably would have just stopped. This took the game from a solid 9 to a 4. Do yourself a favor and spend your time and money on any other game. You'll almost universally be better off.

Really fun game,
but i wish for some more content in it

i just love it

I think this may be the first review ive ever posted, but game is adorable, and weird, and the writing can be very witty and funny and the little oobz are all great. There's enough variety in the oobz to pick your favourites. Its very chill, no time limits on anything, a bunch of friends to make and things to collect. I am a 33 year old man but I have had so much enjoyment just wandering about, chatting with the people and playing dance dance pokemon battles against the strangest of walking veggies. 10/10 cannot recommend enough. Shrumbo is my spirit fungi

Ooblets? more like OobLIT!

eettttt

Love the game, but it seems like the devs abandoned it spring of last year. Hope that's not true though.

I love this game. It's cute and kitschy, you can get a lot of hours out of it (I'm at 50 hours and expect to put in another 20-30 before getting bored), and there's a good variety of things to do (I've finished the main quest line and still have plenty left to do)! It's a great combo of mini-Stardew and cute-Pokemon as the devs promised.

--- SMALL SPOILER BELOW ---
The only feedback I have for devs is that the ~late-game selling location~ is annoying. It uses so much energy, takes a long time, and doesn't get much profit. Also, it's irritating that certain items can ONLY be sold here and that there's nowhere convenient to check the selling day theme (a mail reminder or inventory-menu notice would be helpful).
I'm still having a great time with the rest of the game, so it's by no means hurts the overall experience. Just, it's annoying enough that I ignore it entirely.

Extremely cute and stylish hybrid of a couple game styles. It's not as deep of a farming/town sim as the big ones, it's not as deep of a creature collector as dedicated ones, but it hits enough of the fun points of both alongside so much style and personality that it is an easy recommend to anyone who enjoys both genres. There's no romance options or anything like that but the cast of characters feel like a nice group of friends by the end of the main story. Also extremely family friendly. If you look at the game and think it might be for you, it is.

Absolutely charming, completely adorable, and full of joy. This game fulfills the desire to have cute little creatures follow you around, as well as giving the important farming, fishing, and friending goals of a true cozy game. Definitely reminds me of the energy of Pikmin in a lot of ways.

Ooblets isn't like any other game you've ever played. Totally unique and creative.

This is possibly one of the greatest spins on a creature collector ever! this game is so fun and filled with love and pure whimsy! If you like games like pokemon, stardew valley, animal crossing, etc, you'll love this game too!!!!!

Although I really enjoy the game, I dislike how the devs talk to the community. Plus they didnt communicate that the game was done (or not done) and the ooblets community is left confused.

First of all my review is based only on what I have played.

Ooblet is a very cozy and fun creature collection game with farming and life sim aspects.

Pros:
Lots of cute Ooblets to learn new moves and try diff combos of dance teams
Graphics are very cute
Music is well done and enjoyable ]
It has a fun story and I actully wanted to progress and finish the story.
Glimys are fun to look for (like shiny hunting)
You get to run your own shop which is great for earning money.
When you talk to NPCs they actully have good lines throughout building friendships with them I hardly had repeat lines.

Cons:
In the start the days can feel very long as you have to nap your way to night time to actully go to bed
In the start it does feel very slow paced
There is no way to craft or make furtlizer you either spend wishes or fish for. just wish you could craft it
Though their is a good amount of NPCs in Badgertown I wish we could befriend people in other places as well.


Overall I really enjoyed it and the cons are more personal cons. Im glad i played it myself to form my own thoughts on the game. I really believe this is a good cozy game and very excited to see if they make a Ooblets 2!

Language feels like trying way too hard. I can't get past all the nonsense ("...and junk").

Cute game, especially the voices/sounds. I find myself dancing to the music a lot of the time.

Camby for Taffy

its my new fav game i love clomper

The perfect game for those times when you're too overstimulated, tired, or depressed to play anything else. Groovy music, cute af art style, easy mechanics, decoration & personalisation, no time limits on anything. Lots more to it, and some areas could certainly have been developed upon further, but absolutely worth playing.

you get to dance with cool lil fellas

YES.

I love it, I love collecting lads

This scratched my neurodivergent brain so well

A hidden gem! I love this game SO much, the vibes are impeccable.
The game play is super satisfying and definitely has the potential to be your next instant obsession!!

A very fun bubbly game with a very fun,cute,smart game with a very nice animation style.

It's an okay game. it's cute and quirky, there's plenty to collect, it's just not the most compelling game.

I think a lot of the problem is just the pacing. The card game isn't quite snappy enough, but also the grind for everything feels a little much. I've basically found myself wasting time so I can get more planklets the next day. It's such a bottleneck that I spend more time doing nothing than anything interesting.

I'll still recommend it. It's still interesting and it's unique enough.

i love my silly little guys!!!!! they all perform child labour for me on my silly little farm :3

When I bought this game, I absolutely did not expect it to be an adorable creature capture game that I'd put over 14 hrs into! I figured it'd be a short cozy indie game but I was so wrong! Let's go over the pros and cons!

PROS:
- This game has some longevity to it! Something that I definitely didn't expect! The game has an open world that you can wander around and multiple themed towns that you can explore! I'm over 14 hrs in currently and I've only finished one town.
- The adorable design is very well done! The bright colors and energetic vibe is what attracted me and keeps me interested! The ooblets are all so quirky and unique in their own little way which makes me excited to capture more!
- There's plenty to do that will keep you invested, from farming to cooking, and furnishing and decorating your home! There are also quests you can do to unlock areas and other parts of the town.
- The combat is very fun! I love the concept of a card deck system combined with a dance battle!
- The seasonal gacha machines are a fun way to earn seasonal cosmetics, accessories and decor without having to spend any real currency!

CONS
- The combat system is a blast, however I feel like it needs a little more polish. The concept is great but the card deck system could use some more instructions. The game could really use a more fleshed out dance battle tutorial to explain the use of Hype and Beats as you're sort of left in the dark when it comes to the dance battles.
- There's is a huge lack of balance when it comes to the card deck system. You cannot personalize your deck or see which cards you have in your hand aside from what your ooblets contribute from their level.
- Higher level dance battles feel rushed. If the battle goes on past a certain unknown amount of time, battle will end within two final turns, rewarding whoever has the most points. This is a bit of a turnoff as it significantly takes away the appeal of any sort of challenge present.
- There's a huge power gap between ooblets which is my biggest gripe. Some ooblets like Fripp and Petula are massively OP right out the gate and can add 14-20 points after 4 turns, Lickzers can straight up stop the use of fluster for the duration of the battle, Bristlebuds can spam fluster cards without any sort of cool down, which pretty much renders your deck useless if you don't have an ooblet capable of removing fluster. I feel like if cards like these should really be earned at higher levels instead of given right out the game. The cards that stop certain abilities should be limited to turns, similar to the stun ability or at the very least, there should be something to counter those cards.
- Landscaping your yard is nearly impossible. Logs, weeds and twigs constantly clutter my yard to the point of obstructing my path. Getting rid of them consumes a massive amount of energy and the ooblets don't clean up much.
- The reward system is very lacking when it comes to clearing stages and quests. Dance battles for unlocking parts of the map don't result in anything. No seeds, no gummies, nothing. The same can be said about quests, nothing is usually given in reward which is very disappointing, especially for fetch quests. Everything in the game is very expensive and crops don't sell for much so it's difficult to farm currency, at least in the earlier stages of the game. On top of that, you're limited on how many ooblets you can have on both your property and your person before you're told to either expand your home (which costs a whopping 2000 gummies) or the coop for ooblets, so I feel like players should be rewarded for their deeds so that we can have an easier time affording upgrades that we need.
- Recipies are hard to obtain as the game doesn't explain where to get ingredients for them. Sometimes the recipes are given, sometimes you find them at random. These recipes are needed to battle with certain ooblets so I feel like knowing how to acquire these recipes is very important.
-The characters, while fun, don't have much depth to them. I'd love to be able to know more about them and their backstories, especially Taffy considering she's banned from all clubs.

Don't let my list of cons take away from your decision to buy this game however, it's well worth the money, it just needs a tad bit of polish in the area of combat! I'll be reviewing in my channel soon to give a more in depth review!

Super cute game! I love the art style, the gaming mechanic, and the ooblets so much!! I've been trying to find a game that's super cute and ticks all the boxes of creature collecting, battling (by dance lol ), helping the town plus gaining friendships and the overall story is so cute and amazing!!! Keep up the great work! I'm so happy I got this game it's worth it!! <3 ^_^

This is one of the most adorable and hilarious games I have played. The art style is magnificent and the game play is so unique and enjoyable. It's an all around great time with lots to discover and many funky characters to interact with. Couldn't recommend enough!!

an adorable fun-filled game with a rich storyline, it's super cosy and you can choose what u wanna do for the day!!! one of the few games that i am able to come back to whenever life is hectic, and still enjoy, very easy to jump back in!

this game is so much fun

i might of got addicted.

I love this game, not really any complaints, it was made to be a feel good easy to complete game and it accomplishes that perfectly.

Some notes for the developers, since i cant find a better way to report problems.
-when you hit save and quit in an area where you cant save, it still quits the game
-Itd be nice to modify your base deck

Other than that, great and well balanced game, maybe even too easy

This game is super silly and well made!! It's very entertaining with it's dialogue and keeps you busy with many quests/tasks!

This game deserves the hype. It is hilarious and heartwarming, and very addictive! Each character is unique, and the dialogue is very funny (laughed out loud for 10 straight seconds at “meal deal,” and I couldn’t even tell you why…). It is truly weird without being annoying, and the “moral” is meaningful without being preachy.

My only complaint would be inventory management. I wanted to have everything I owned with me at all times, in case an ooblet or a friend or a construction demanded it, and that wasn’t really possible.

this is a master piece. It has changed my life and I love it

i love

this game is amazing

This is a game I like to play and I don't like most games.

I had over a hundred hours logged on Epic Game store and have loved watching this game be fine tuned into what it is, I love this game a lot and adore my pink clicky claws named Pickle Snib- 10/10 have and will probably play again

Unless you dislike card based combat, this is a great creature-capture game combined with farming sim elements in a super cozy town. Oob clearly has its problems, but you can stick around in Badgetown as long as you like, with no real time sensitive quests. It's quirky, surprising and full of things for collector types. You have 6 towns to scurry to and fro, with one of them packed with fun minigames and a satisfying conclusion.

The polish shows a few cracks, causing a few collision glitches on occasion, and I've had the occasional crash, but it's certainly not lacking in charm. The only downside (at least for some) might be it's not apolitical. Without spoiling anything, it's pro-community and somewhat anti-bureaucracy, which might be a turn off. But if that doesn't make you want to run for the hills, you should give this a try! It's one of my favorite games I beat this year, along with Spiritfarer (which has somewhat similar farming and community building aspects, but wants you to cry instead of laughing).

i love clickyclaws
