We love cooking games here at MyPotatoGames. There is something about making virtual meals and feeding virtual bellies that never stops being wholesome. We are always looking for new iterations on this classic, cute gaming staple. Our latest find is Tiny Kitchen, currently in development by GhostGoats. It’s a cooking simulation in the voxel style.
About Tiny Kitchen:
Tiny Kitchen gives you the ability to create your dream kitchen. You will play through 9 levels. Each level unlocks a new type of food. You can turn around and replay levels with the new food to attempt beating your previous time.
Your customers orders vary depending on what appliances you have in your kitchen, and what food items you choose to stock. The more variety you have, the more customers you can bring in, and the more money you can make. If you aren’t careful, though, you’ll spread yourself too thin by trying to accommodate everyone!
Game Features:
- 9 Unique Levels
- Couch Co-Op
- Xbox One Controller Support
- Endless Mode
- 30 Recipes
Features in Development:
Currently in development are more:
- Recipes
- Levels
- Events
- Appliances
- New Customer Types
- And More!
The game is currently being developed for PC. The demo is currently available to play on itch.io. You can follow the developer on Twitter or watch their Game Dev Streams on Twitch.

Donut County is a physics puzzle and adventure game developed by Ben Esposito and published by Annapurna Interactive. In this colorful game, there are adorable characters to meet and holes to throw them in. Not to mention – tons of trash to steal.
About Donut County:
You play as BK. He’s a raccoon – and a new hire at a startup. The startup utilizes remote-controlled holes to steal trash. It’s a pretty sweet gig for a raccoon until…BK falls into one of the holes.
Then he has to answer to his best friend – Mira – and the other (adorable) residents of Donut County. They’re pretty unhappy with BK because they’re now trapped 999 feet below their homes.
So, what do you do? You control a hole. Whenever you swallow something, the hole grows a little bit bigger. It reminds us of Katamari Damacy.
You also solve puzzles by combining different objects inside of the hole then launching them back out.
Key Features:
- Combine objects for surprising effects.
- Launch them back out to solve puzzles.
- Explore negative space.
- Ruin everyone’s day by devouring everything!
Watch the trailer:
Donut County is available on Steam, PS4, GOG, the App Store, and the Mac App Store. Get it for 33% off on Steam and GOG before the end of tomorrow, July 9th!

LEGO has been at the forefront of wholesome games for decades. Now, they have joined forces with mobile producer and developer Nimblebit LLC to create LEGO Tower. We can’t wait to dive into this virtual brick building experience!
About the Game:
LEGO Tower is very similar to Nimblebit’s Tiny Tower. Your main objective is to build the biggest and best tower you can. Each floor fits into a different category. These range from residential apartment floors to restaurants, gyms, and more.
Instead of Tiny Tower’s “bitizens”, you have LEGO minifigures. Your minifigures live and work in your creation. You can customize the appearance of your minifigure residents and assign them jobs.
The biggest difference seems to be the graphics. Instead of Nimblebit’s signature pixels, the graphics look like LEGO pieces. What is really neat about this is the potential customization. In Tiny Tower you had a forever growing gray skyscraper with an orange crane on the top. In LEGO Tower your tower can be green with a dinosaur on top or red, mimicking LEGO’s NINJAGO collection.
Like Tiny Tower, you can visit your friends’ towers. It seems friendship is important to the game, as you have the ability to gift friends materials to help them build.
There seems to be a focus on collection in LEGO Tower. You can supposedly collect “hundreds of unique minifigure pieces.” There are also hidden characters you can find, along with unlocking vehicles.
Watch the trailer:
LEGO Tower is out today for Android and iOS! Get it for free on the Google Play Store or the Apple Store.

Islands, villagers, and jellies – oh my! Those are three things we here at myPotatoGames love, and Alchemic Cutie wraps them all into one, well, cute package. Developers Vakio and Viridian Software along with slime-loving publisher CIRCLE Entertainment are behind this new wholesome adventure RPG.
About Alchemic Cutie
The game is set on Wimba Island, a bright pixel world that reminds us a bit of Littlewood and Stardew Valley’s Pelican Town. So far, it seems like there are beaches, forests, the main village, and a Jelly Shrine.
Instead of farming, you will be taming slime-like creatures called “jellies.” There are over 4,000 visual styles for jellies and each jelly will have unique traits and statistics. They will also have needs like hunger, energy, and happiness. You will be able to show off your jellies by entering them into different competitions.
You can also meet Wimba’s villagers to form friendships – or rivalries!
One exciting and unique feature will be the world map. To help you navigate, the map expands as new locations are discovered. What makes this feature unique to similar games is that, once a place has been visited, you can use the map to fast travel there.
Game Features:
- Level Up: There are Alchemy and Jelly raising systems in place for you to master.
- Competitions: A total of 8 contests will allow you to show off your Jelly raising skills.
- Share Away: Special codes mean you can share your jellies with others!
- Complex Characters: Wimba Island villagers are described as “goofy, fun, and sometimes complicated.”
- Modders Welcome: There will be release day support for modding.
Here’s the announcement trailer:
Alchemic Cutie will be released for PC later this year. It will be available on Steam and Itch.io. There is a blog for DevLogs on the website and a Youtube with “Jellycasts” where you can listen to developers Sebastien and Thomas talk about game details and history. You can also signup for “Cuties Club” updates via the website.
Can’t wait to play with slime-like creatures? We recommend Slime Rancher!
