In Bambas!, the streets of a lively coastal town become your playground, just like when you were a kid and every sidewalk or puddle sparked an adventure. The game’s unique controls let you move each sneaker on its own using your gamepad’s sticks and triggers. But it’s not just about strolling. You’ll need to dodge crosswalks, kick cans, balance on curbs, and nail tricky jumps to complete hundreds of challenges.

Each success unlocks a wardrobe of customizable sneakers, letting you style your kicks with flair as you leave your mark on the town. The game’s story unfolds naturally through environmental storytelling: graffiti, forgotten objects, and meetings with characters.

Your task is to blend in by handling daily chores like pumping gas, restocking shelves, and serving food to travelers. But beneath it all lies a secret mission: gathering intel on humans to prepare for a full-scale invasion. You must balance running the gas station and keeping customers happy to upgrade hidden research stations for data processing, though odd behaviors might attract government officials.

This title offers everything you’d expect from a classic simulation, but its multiplayer experience lets you encounter truly weird and bizarre situations. Less than a week after its announcement, the game has already gathered over 60,000 wishlists on Steam, where it will be available later this year.

Drawing inspiration from “rubber hose” animation of classic cartoons like Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry, and early Looney Tunes, Into the Unwell immerses you in a cartoonish dream. The game’s visual elements also craft a psychedelic world filled with anthropomorphic enemies and bizarre environments. Unlike Cuphead, which shares a similar retro influence, Into the Unwell features 3D combat and platforming, offering a fresh take on the genre with dynamic movement and intense battles.

Additionally, expect boss fights and environmental challenges. You can dive into this chaos solo or team up with four friends in co-op as you battle waves of enemies. The gameplay leans into the quirky and wild, with Coffee Stain describing the combat as “as bizarre as it is belligerent.” This mix of cooperative action and unpredictable challenges ensures each playthrough feels unique.

You play as Vasily, a local driver with a big heart and a knack for fixing problems. His main goal is to breathe life back into his struggling village, one delivery at a time. Whether you’re hauling cargo across bumpy fields, towing a broken-down car, or helping a neighbor get their harvest to market, every task feels personal. The game’s world is alive with various characters and relatable moments. It’s the kind of place where everyone knows your name.

What makes Zarya special is its unique blend of freedom and storytelling. One minute you’re navigating overgrown paths to drop off a package, the next you’re roped into a fishing trip or a roadside repair job. The game leans heavily into those post-Soviet vibes, think creaky old cars, faded billboards, and that classic “we’ll make it work” attitude that defined the era.

Your trusty vehicle is the star of the show, and Zarya lets you tinker with it to your heart’s content. You can upgrade your ride to tackle tougher terrain or trick it out for style, turning heads as you rumble through town. The game’s car collection, full of automotive nostalgia, feels like a piece of history. Sure, your vintage ride might not be the fastest, but it’s got character, and so does the game itself.

At its heart, Starsand Island is all about finding joy in the simple, everyday moments. Unlike many farming simulators that get obsessed with efficiency and numbers, this game puts emotional connections far above stats. As lead designer Golton Gao puts it: “Life has no inherent meaning, so you decide how to live it.” There are mini-events tucked into every corner, whether you’re fishing up bottle caps that might unlock secret lore or just having a laugh at a legendary “golden poop” left by one of your animal pals.

Starsand Island experience truly lies with its NPCs, who are inspired by real-life personalities, from shy dreamers to bubbly optimists. You’ll build meaningful bonds with characters like Solara, who might share midnight fireworks with you, or Serena, who might drag you on shopping trips that turn simple errands into lasting memories. “We want players to feel warmth, like they belong”, says narrative designer Richardo Wang. These subtle, heartfelt interactions, like waking up to Pastelle’s breakfast as sunlight streams into your home, truly make the world feel alive, not just like lines of code.

The team actually built a custom engine from scratch, which lets you reshape almost anything, from winding paths to entire villages. Want a Japanese alley or a Nordic hamlet? Go for it. One tester even created a maze garden so tricky that the developers themselves got lost and had to teleport out. With endless customization options, the island truly is your canvas. “It’s a nightmare for coders, but we’re crazy enough to make it work”, Gao laughs.

The multiplayer features are set to grow even further, with plans for things like photo contests and player-created Easter eggs down the line. “We want Starsand Island to feel like home”, Gao says, and the team is really committed to evolving the game based on community input, adding new events and stories after launch.

In Gaucho and the Grassland, you step into the boots of a gaucho or gaucha, tasked with bringing balance back to a huge region as its brand new guardian. Forget the usual “you inherited a farm” setup; here, you’re actually rebuilding your family’s ranch while tackling quests that truly celebrate rural life. Imagine lassoing cows, shearing sheep, or milking livestock as part of your everyday progress.

What really makes this game special is its deep connection to South American culture, especially the traditions from Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul region. You’ll get to experience things like sipping chimarrão, a traditional drink that even reveals secrets, playing the harmonica by a campfire, or firing up a delicious churrasco barbecue.

In this game you can really focus on classic farm tasks like fishing, collecting eggs, or even building cozy homes for other characters, customizing every little detail to match your style. But if you’re more into adventure, you can roam around the diverse landscapes solving puzzles and helping out the locals. Doing so boosts your charisma and unlocks new paths to explore. There’s also a crafting system that lets you turn raw materials into useful tools or unique decorations.

Cash Cleaner Simulator is seriously addictive, and I might even say it’s one of the best simulators I’ve played in a while. It’s so chill and cozy, and the gameplay just sucks you in. Things progress at steady pace, and you wouldn’t believe how many times I’ve found myself squinting at the screen trying to figure out if the money’s fake or not. You play as Mr. Fresh, who’s a small-time crook stuck with the job of literally cleaning dirty money for the criminal underworld. We’re talking cash covered in mud or ink. And you’re stuck in this mysterious room, trying to scrub your way out of a $1 million debt.

It’s a singleplayer, first-person sim where you’re cleaning, sorting, and shipping cash for some shady clients. You get your assignments through a smartphone, upgrade your cleaning gadgets, and slowly piece together a light story about why you’re being held captive. Although the gameplay loop can get repetitive with similar tasks, and sometimes it’s not super clear what you’re supposed to be doing, Cash Cleaner Simulator is still a very engaging game.

Addictive gameplay that gets repetitive later

Money falls from a hole in the ceiling, often in damaged or dirty boxes. You collect it, clean and sort it based on the client’s needs, then pack it into different bags, backpacks, boxes, or even mattresses. Some jobs are easy, like cleaning $5,000 in a backpack. Others are way more involved, like getting 100 clean $100 bills all banded up in a suitcase, and you have to check for things like dirt, blood, ink, or even fake bills. You get tools to help, like washing machines, dryers, cash counters, and UV lights to spot the fakes.

When they say “cleaning,” they really mean it. Muddy or bloody bills? Toss them in a washing machine for 15–30 seconds per load. Wet cash? Into the dryer. Then comes the fun part: counting all that money. You can do it by hand, which takes forever (my personal favourite), or use various machines. In most cases, after sorting, you often have extra cash to stash in a giant piggy bank.

Cash Cleaner Simulator also got this physics thing going on, which can be pretty chaotic. If a box tips over, all that cash goes flying everywhere, which can be kind of satisfying to watch but also super annoying when you have to pick it all up. The most satisfying part of the game is how fast everything feels. Tying up bills and wrapping them in protective foil is a great touch that never feels like a chore. To keep things interesting, the game throws in special challenges, like trying to avoid dye packs that you need to dispose of in locked bags or dealing with gold bars and ancient artifacts mixed in with the cash.

“When they say ‘cleaning’, they really mean it.”

Tackle money-cleaning jobs at your own pace

To get better at your weird money-cleaning job, you earn two kinds of in-game cash: cryptocurrency and something called Respect. You can use these to buy better tools from the “DarkMarket”. There’s huge amount of tools you can go through so you’ll always find something interesting to experiment with. You can also blow your earnings on silly cosmetic stuff, like radios to listen to or just random pallets to decorate your mysterious room.

The story in the game is pretty low-key. You mostly get it through text messages from your handler, Betty Opps, and other characters. Story is important if you wish to progress. So, what keeps you coming back to cleaning all that dirty money? Well, the jobs you get are different each time, plus there are little side missions to do and achievements to unlock. Sadly there’s no multiplayer, but you can just imagine how fun it would be to clean cash with a friend.

As mentioned earlier, Cash Cleaner Simulator offers a cozy vibe, letting you tackle money-cleaning jobs at your own pace. However, the 18-hour grind to see everything feels overly long, and the gameplay could use more open, free-form elements. Once you’ve completed all tasks and bought every tool upgrade, there’s little reason to replay alone, which may disappoint some players. A longer-term progression system would boost replayability. Still, fans of slower-paced games might enjoy the extended journey.

“Offers a cozy vibe, letting you tackle money-cleaning jobs at your own pace.”

It has some flaws

One of the most annoying things about this game is trying to find marked bills in those huge stacks. The fact that you can’t even just fan out a stack of money to quickly glance through it is just frustrating. It’s not too bad when you’re dealing with small amounts of cash, but when you get to the late game with massive piles, it just sucks the life out of you.

Additionally, if you’re looking for any automation, you’re in the wrong place as you need to do everything yourself. The story missions are fun at first, but they get longer and more of a hassle as you progress. The weird thing is, for most of the story missions, you can actually just send any kind of bill, even the marked or fake ones, so you don’t have to sort them. But if you do, you get way better rewards. Cash Cleaner Simulator as desperately needs some sort of sorting system, as it eventually turns into a weird organization simulator: where do you put the sorted bills? What do you do with the marked ones? Do you separate them by how much they’re worth? Does your money storage look nice?

The graphics on the other hand have this simple, low-poly style, with some spray-painted graffiti and kind of odd, AI-looking icons on your phone, which gives it this young and rebellious feel. But the real eye-catcher is all the money. Even the tools get a bit of style, there’s a fancy DLC that gives your washing machine a gold finish, which is pretty ridiculous. The game also has a day and night cycle, which mostly affects when you need to use your UV light to check for marked bills. Just a heads-up: trying to spot those marked bills during the daytime in the game can be a real pain.

“If you’re looking for any automation, you’re in the wrong place.”

Might not be for everyone

Cash Cleaner Simulator is a budget-friendly indie game with a cozy charm that hooks you early with its engaging money-cleaning loop. While the controls can feel clunky at first and the gameplay may be too relaxed for some, its potential for future content updates, like multiplayer, makes it worth trying. However, the longer you play, the more repetitive it becomes. Despite this, its unique vibe might keep you intrigued, even if it’s not for everyone.

It has a brilliant, unique concept, who thought cleaning money could be a game? Casual sim fans will love its cozy gameplay and charming graphics. However, those wanting a polished experience may prefer waiting for updates to address clunky controls and repetitive gameplay, as future content like multiplayer could improve its appeal.
