Very pleasant to play, the quiet music adds a relaxing atmosphere that is good. I struggled a little to find the menu of furniture. The stop button is a little too effective, there was no one on the streets:). I saw no reason to lower the speed of the animations.

Art style is very well!, but  this is not the kind of game that I like to play so i can't give you a solid review

This is a really fun, cozy, polished game!  You have great soft sound effects, awesome visuals and visual effects, wonderful squash and stretch when interacting with buildings, funny player names!  I really loved the option to play in fast forward as well, this is incredibly fleshed out for 4 days.  Having to decorate the buildings in order to level them up is a wonderful way to get players to decorate their village for sure!  

The only thing I was confused about is reading more about villagers and buildings.  Often I'd both right and left click on them and got nothing.  I did get character info a couple times, but it was seemingly on accident and I didn't quite know what the symbols mean.  

Also, these three with exclamation marks stood in the center of town all game and I couldn't figure out how to interact with them.  Am I missing something?

Amazing job, full marks from me!

Thank you very much for your feedback, it’s so kind ! <3 

So cool to see your creation, your little village with the screenshot :) <3
Yes, we really need to improve the feedback, and the selection of characters and buildings. As well as detailing the information a little more, I note ! thank you very much

For the 3 NPCs with the exclamation point, they serve no purpose, it was to add the MMORPG atmosphere with the quests. 

They must have been useful for something, but we ran out of time.

Wow <3 a huge thank you Matt

Loved this game!
It is such a fantastic art style, very cosy and cute!
I can't help but build more. :D The music is great and helps you get lost in the game. Kudos to everyone very lovely.

I have to say, the specific sub genre of "games where you manage a town for simulated RPG characters" has been one of my favourite ever since I played Kairosoft's Dungeon Village, and it's been something I've been trying to pull off myself for a few years now. Love to see a jam entry that fits in with that, and has the most perfectly chill art, music, and just general vibes.

I wish there were a bit more information available on what to do, or what effect building things was having. I could upgrade buildings by adding enough flowers, but wasn't sure why I was upgrading them. And sometimes I couldn't build things but wasn't sure why either. I think a few tooltips, or prompts when you can't do something, they'd go a long way. Even just having more checklists past that first one would be great. 

No doubt you probably wanted to add those but didn't have time, always the trouble with a gamejam! But it's a great entry either way.

If you took Majesty, made it less annoying and more cutesy, this is what you get =)

Hard to believe this was made in 96 hours, I'm super impressed!

Heyyy, fellow management game devs :D

Only problem is that the game doesn't explain itself. Like, what are we building, where are we, why are we.
Other than that, great job! I know these games are hard to create, and it honestly ended up great!

A great-looking game with an amazing style. Would want a little tutorial though~

100% agree, we had a big lack of time.. we will correct that for the next jams.

It's much too important, and you have to take the time, even to cut features. :D

Thank you for your feedback <3

Truly gorgeous art work, with a soothing soundtrack and chill gameplay! I would have liked a little more direction in what effects the different building types provide. But overall, this was lovely! Great work!

Cozy Realm is a delightful experience, perfect for anyone who loves a very relaxing management game. The music sets a soothing tone, and the atmosphere really lives up to the game's name—it's the kind of place you'd want to hang out in.

The art is lovely, with lots of well-stylized sprites that bring the starting zone to life. It's fun to watch your zone grow as more players arrive. Overall, Cozy Realm offers a charming and peaceful way to unwind. Great work!
