Göl kenarında sevimli bir kokteyl barı işletiyoruz ♥ Üstelik gölden balık da tutabiliyoruz! Gerçi şu an için pek bir işe yaramıyor, ama ileride bu balıklarla yemek yapma gibi bir özellik eklense fena olmaz. Sushi yapabiliriz mesela ^-^ Oyunda biraz ilerledikten ve geliştirmeler yaptıktan sonra, bar kendi kendine işleyebilir hale geliyor. Arada bir uğrayıp ilgilenmek yetiyor. Ayrıca oyunu ister tam ekran, ister ekranın alt kısmında oynayabilme şansımız olmasını, bunun bizim seçimimize bırakılmasını sevdim. Barımızı ve balık tuttuğumuz göl kenarını çeşitli dekorasyon seçenekleriyle kişiselleştirebiliyoruz, bu da oyuna hoş bir çeşitlilik katıyor. Genel olarak keyif aldım, ama başarımlar sizin için önemliyse almanızı önermem. Oyunda gerçekten hem saçma süreler gerektiren hem de tamamen şansa dayalı bazı başarımlar var. Başarımlar önemli değil derseniz, çalışırken yada başka şeylerle ilgilenmeniz gerekirken oynamak için tavsiye edebilirim.

I had fun with the game but it has some serious balancing issues once you're able to unlock the hidden recipes. All of them have ridiculously high profit compared to the ones you unlock as you level up. Another issue is that there's nowhere to spend my millions of cash once I've upgraded every possible aspect of my staff. Even if I convert cash to tokens at the rate of 100 to 1 the cost of furniture is still just chump change compared to what I make per minute. And I'm only level 19 at the moment. There's still like dozens of level up recipes to unlock but I already don't feel like keeping playing it at this point. I think a lot of the prices should be increased like the hidden recipes' crafting cost. The profit of those should be adjusted as well. Staff memembers should cost more to further upgrade or recruit or have some extremely expensive attributes to unlock. I'd also like to be able to purchase some insanely expensive stuff like funiture or pets or other decorative stuff. I still like the game despite the balancing issues so I'm reluctant to give a negative review. I hope the dev could fix it so it doesn't feel so broken past the initial stage.

🍸 Lakeside Bar Review 🍾 Lakeside Bar is an indie game where you run your very own bar. I played the demo and honestly loved it. You can either play it actively or set it up to run quietly in the corner of your screen, there are different full-screen settings too, depending on how you want to enjoy it. I absolutely love the art style. Pixel-art games always have a special place in my heart, and this one is no exception. You’re the proud owner of a charming little bar, where you’ll be serving customers, cleaning tables, or maybe just relaxing with a bit of cozy fishing while your staff lend a hand. The more you play, the more you unlock, from new drinks and decorations to upgraded tables that make your bar feel even more alive. You can hire staff to help run things, and one of my favourites is Chef Mike, a literal sentient microwave who unlocks the cooking system. That one really made me laugh! Making tasty food and drinks for your customers is super satisfying. There are loads of recipes to discover, and plenty of other fun tabs to explore too, like memory capsules and mini bar games (which I won’t spoil too much here, but trust me, they’re great). I’ve spent a lot of time fishing! I enjoy the little mini-game where you have to hit the green square in the bar, it’s pretty easy but occasionally throws in a fast one to keep you on your toes. The music in the game is lovely. There’s a record player filled with relaxing tunes that really fit the bar’s cosy vibe. If you're not in the mood for music, you can pause it and enjoy the ambient sounds, wind, birds, ducks, even the occasional dog barking. And when the weather changes, the rain and thunder effects are honestly fantastic. Decorating your bar (and the outdoor area!) is a big part of the fun. Everything is adorable. In the tabs, there’s also a “Thematic” section where you can change your bar’s wallpaper, there are seven to choose from (some are a bit pricey), but they’re all very cute. I also want to shout out the staff training system. You can hire lots of different workers and even train them. For example, servers can improve movement speed, carrying capacity, and work efficiency. Your bartender—who I think is the most important staff member—can be trained in tipping bonuses, mixing speed, and success rate for recipe experiments. You can even customise the task order for each staff member, which helps them work more efficiently. Just a heads-up: training can be a bit expensive, especially in the early stages so you’ll want to pace yourself and plan upgrades wisely. The game has a lot to offer, and it's very beginner-friendly. There's even a simple, cute statistics page with little icons to help you keep track of things, much better than the overly complex ones in some other games. Lakeside Bar is such a cozy, relaxing experience. If you're into idle games where you can also be hands-on and interactive, this one's definitely for you. The customers are adorable, and their silly little costumes made me smile so much. Happy bartending! 🍻 Tip: If you want to find more reviews like this, check out our curator page [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41527689/]Moon's Tea House

Like a 7/10. It's cute, cozy, operates nicely as all the other comments will say. Gameplay wise, I've spent 5 hours on the game, and put a small amount of effort into it and I've already unlocked pretty much all content worthwhile. Some feedback: 1) The "hidden" menu unlocks WAY too quickly and is WAY too valuable for how quickly it unlocks. I unlocked ~2-3 of the items pretty early (about an hour or 2 in) and immediately they are worth 100-1000x more profit than the standard menu items, no joke. As a result, I have more money than I know what to do with, a max size bar, fully upgraded staff... These really should be far more difficult to unlock and actually take menu rotations to try and get customers to reveal the items slowly. There is almost NEVER a point to use the less expensive menu items, as the fame trickles in no matter what. 2) Chef Mike either needs a buddy, or some buffs. The food items are by far the slowest to make and I frequently have a dozen guests waiting on food. I thought it may have been a proficiency issue with the hidden menu items, but no. Even the regular food items are just slow to make and bog down the whole bar. Chef mike will have 20 orders waiting while the bartenders and staff are all idle. 3) Some additional decoration options would be nice. MUCH more expensive options so that I have something to sink all this gold into?

played the demo for around 6 hours and immediately bought the full game as soon as it was released. It’s one of the best idle games I’ve come across.It runs perfectly in the background while I’m working, and it’s perfect for checking in during short breaks. It has just the right amount of gameplay to keep you hooked. It’s not overly stressful or grindy, just the right kind of idle experience with satisfying progression.Easily one of the best idle games out there.
