Shimmer's Quest - Way of the Whoop

Such an adorable game! It's full of endearing characters, quirky designs and gorgeous landscapes to explore. There's an interesting balance between the relaxed fantasy vibes and a slightly darker undertone that I really enjoy. The music really fits the world of the Shimmers and their friends. Also: lots of lizards, flowers and sushi. What more can you ask for? If you're a fan of point-and-click games with an eye for detail and plenty of cuteness, this game could be for you! Highly recommended! Whoop!

Such a cute point-and-click adventure! Very old school and with a lot of charm, I love the world of this game!

I love the art style and the chill music. Its very wholesome and I would definitely recommend.

This is such an incredibly warm, wholesome game. I would compare it to reading a book of cosy fantasy, like Legends & Lattes. I love the original artwork, the care and love that has gone in each and every step of the game. The story is sweet and funny, the puzzles are just challenging enough and the artwork is simply gorgeous. Definitely recommended.

This short but sweet little adventure lets you meet the cute and quirky Shimmers who indubitably have their priorities straight! You travel through a whimsical and mysterious forest as you help our main protagonist on her quest, which stood out to me with ethereal and strange plant life I just had to marvel at. Dark and glowy but very soothing.

It's a cute little adventure game with some beautiful art work and nice music. It works fine on my old laptop, that has a simple default video card, so that's nice. I'm looking forward to playing the finished version, mostly to see all of the finished art work, and hopefully some more interesting lore about the world of the Shimmers.

It's such an adorable game that was lovingly made <3 I played it in early access and I can't wait to see how it'll look when it goes live. The little sounds, the characters, the illustrations, it all just makes me very happy to be in this world and walk around in it

Shimmerspawn has created a very lovely game for jumping head first into solo-ing a giant project such as this. From the beautiful artwork to the chill music, to the silly examination of objects and the story, this is a lovely WIP and cannot wait to see more WHOOP-ing

Let's start with the obvious, it's a cute and short game. If you like point and click adventures, and want to play one with the little ones, you might actually want to give this one a try. The art style is cute, and even though at time of writing (18/08/2025) the game is still in early access, it's mostly done in the "Game play" and "story" perspectives. Story: Very cute, yet short. You don't need to remember a lot of lore, and it made me want a bit more, but nothing too much. Game play: It's a point and click game with movements by keyboard/controller, nothing high-fidelity. Art style: This game will withstand the test of time, as the art is not overly realistic, but if that's your thing, I can see that being an issue. For me personally though, I like the art style as is, and wouldn't change any of the (finished) pieces. Price: For a game which is an hour long, a price tag of 5€ is more than valid, especially in Early Access. I enjoyed the game enough that it's more than wor...

This lushly illustrated adventure may seem sill(k)y at times (which is a benefit in my book), but has a surprisingly thought-out lore given that. What I've seen from it so far is that any puzzles are easy enough (and fit into the story well enough) that, unless its easing in gently, you'd most likely play it for the 'cozy-but-with-slightly-darker-undercurrent' vibes -- fortunately, this game is very good at vibes. It's also good at signposting -- information can be found out in multiple ways, and interactable spots are very clear, somehow despite the background being as saturated and detailed as the foreground objects. There are some early access shenanigans of which I will inform the dev, which I'll not be leaving in this review as I expect them to be fixed soon-ish. disclaimer: I know the dev personally, but I bought this game with my own money and stand by these words separately from that
