Stickers are really cool accessories to have. How about making your own stickers? Unleash your creativity in Sticky Business.
THE GAME
Sticky Business is a simulation game developed by Spellgarden Games and distributed by Assemble Entertainment. As the owner of a small online sticker store, you will manage the entire process of your business, from creating the stickers and printing them to packaging and shipping them. With several elements to customize your stickers, use all your creativity to create your products and fulfill your customers' orders.
MY IMPRESSIONS
With simple management, Sticky Business doesn't complicate your life. In fact, this is the least impactful aspect of the game. The focus is on creating the stickers and having fun with the element combinations. In that sense, the game is very rich and creative. With a happy and cute theme, you will have a good time creating the stickers.
The game is in Portuguese-Brazil and, even if the texts are not so important for the course of the game, they help with the requests of some customers, who ask for stickers with specific themes. In this case, these customers tell a story through their orders, which makes you have some objectives in the game. For me, these stories did not work so well, as they are left in the middle of the game and are not so clear in terms of the interface. So much so that I only understood what they were after some time, because I thought they were standard customer requests.
I had fun creating the stickers, finding ways to combine the elements and create cute and funny products. And, to be honest, that's where the game shines. All the other factors get boring and repetitive, without as much direct impact on the game. Still, it's a great pastime.
ACHIEVEMENTS
We don't have that much trouble with the Sticky Business achievements, except for two of them. It's not even that they're difficult, but they'll be pretty boring to do. One of them is unlocking all of the sticker creation elements, which takes some time as you have to earn experience points for each visual element, which earns you points to unlock more elements. The other is to buy all the upgrades, which require money to unlock. Both need a little grinding. If you're looking for 100%, I recommend that you leave these two achievements for last, because that's when you'll have done everything possible in the game and you can focus on them.
There are also achievements linked to customer requests, which unfold stories. When you complete each of them, you receive an achievement. Pay attention to the theme that is proposed for creation, so that you can continue in the story.
CONCLUSION
Sticky Business focuses on what's interesting: the stickers. The management part is simple so that the differential of the stickers is the highlight, even if this leaves the game a little too repetitive. The customers' stories, even if simple, force the player to create stickers with the proposed themes and I like that, making you try a little bit of everything.
As a sticker maker, Sticky Business is a lot of fun. As an online store simulator, it's pretty monotonous. In a few moments, I was already robotically doing all the processes, just to get money and points to unlock more things in the game.
You'll spend some time playing and creating your artwork, as well as being able to download and use the stickers you create in the game. It's pretty fun to imagine yourself as an artist selling your art online, going through all the processes and such. I have artist friends, so I know this whole routine and it's cool to be in their shoes, even if in a simpler and gamified way.
