Chillquarium

The demo for Chillquarium is sitting at the top of the list of “most downloaded demos” in the Capitalism and Economy Fest and shows no signs of relinquishing the top spot. Part cozy aquarium management sim, part idle game, players will buy fish, raise them, and then either sell them for a profit or exhibit them to earn from ticket sales. The art is adorable, and players will unlock new fish species through booster packs, so there’s a fun element of luck too. There are 125 fish to collect, and rare color variations for each one too, making it a perfect idle game.

Moose Miners

Manage a mine operated by moose. They will collect the gems, and you as foreman decide what to spend the profits on. Upgrade the equipment wielded by the moose, hire more moose, or venture deeper into the mines, it’s up to you. Acquire machinery to process the gems and make even more profit. Invest and expand your mining empire. The look of this game is unique, starting out on a small scale with moose harvesting gems, and expanding into a massive network of moose and railways and grinders that will take over your screen.

Will you print what the mafia wants, or will you uphold the impartiality of the press? Manage your reporters, design your headquarters, and change history. News Tower is currently in early access which makes it a perfect time to check out the demo, with the full release just around the corner on 13 Feb.
