Whimside

Screen Hype

Blake Wilcox

6.5 / 10.0

For an idle game, Whimside demands a surprising amount of micromanagement. It doesn't feel like a background game; it feels like a never-ending loop of low-energy busywork. If Whimside excels in one area, it's definitely the art. The pixel art style is charming, with a soft, cozy feel that perfectly suits the game's laid-back concept. As a fan of pixel art in general, I really appreciated the effort put into making each creature look distinct, even with their modular mash-up designs. Seeing how different body parts combine together is genuinely one of the most creative aspects of the game, and easily one of the most fun to explore early on.
