A 1319-upvote dev vent about Steam reviewers dunking on a game with "Idle" in the title — after 92 hours of playtime — captured the week's mood. Right beside it: a 906▲ player complaint that you shouldn't need to join a game's Discord just to learn how to play it. Both threads worth reading if you make or play these.

Spotlight launch. Koltera 2 — full sequel, completely free, no microtransactions or DLC. 226▲. The dev's "launching at 1am on Saturday" energy is part of the charm.

Also out. Land Drifters (Early Access on Steam), Incrempire base defense demo, Angler's Journey fishing demo, Flowers to Honey (cozy bee incremental, Steam page just up).

Worth your time. shapez 2 finally has a 1.0 release date (April 23, 180▲). It's Fine (idler about shipping a game on time with your dog) hit 233▲ in a hot 175-comment thread.

Bonus. Someone made an incremental about clicking a Reddit upvote button (305▲). Genre's eating itself.
