Tiny Glade is a delightfully perfect cozy game. Building little dioramas is incredibly relaxing.

Fiddling with all the little details to get it just right is the kind of flow activity that you can really sink into and if you're like me it will scratch your brain just the right way. It gets bonus points as a nifty quick terrain generator for TTRPGs if you're into that kind of thing.

The daily challenges are great when you don't know what to build, and the soundtrack is absolutely on point for the vibe.

17/10

First the elephant in the room : it does feel like the publishers forced a release when giving the devs a bit more time would have resulted in more polish and fewer unfinished features, however overall the game is still excellent. A lot of people seem to have expected Stardew Valley levels of development but seem to have forgotten that Stardew had many years of additional development to add content and features post-release.

Coral Island is a great little game which is extremely reminiscent of Stardew Valley. Whilst it's a little disappointing that several features weren't ready for the v1 release there is *plenty* to do in Coral Island and the dev team are working hard on addressing issues and future content. On the other hand game balance feels a little off and there are currently some disappointing though not game-breaking bugs.

Overall I'd give the a 7/10 for a v1 release. I will revisit the review as and when the developers address balance and content.
