Sticky Business Review (Biscuits 𖹭 🎀)
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
I had my eyes on this game for a while, and when it went on sale for its lowest price yet, I finally gave it a go.
I'll be honest—the first hour didn’t quite click with me. I was even debating a refund. But then one of my sticker combos unlocked a customer story... and just like that, I was hooked. Nearly 10 hours later, I was still at it.
The soundtrack is soft and soothing, the stories are heartwarming, and there’s something so satisfying about finding just the right sticker to make someone smile. I started thinking less about aesthetics and more about what would make each customer happy. Mixing, matching, testing out new combos—it's simple, but deeply satisfying.
I do wish there was a little more complexity. It would be lovely if sending extra items triggered different reactions or dialogue, instead of just boosting points. And small quality-of-life features—like a “select all” option or alignment tools—would go a long way in making the design process smoother.
I didn’t expect the grind, though. The stories wrapped up long before I unlocked everything¹, and my completionist brain winced at the thought of farming points just to buy every last upgrade and sticker. (Thankfully, I don’t have the DLCs, so I was spared some of the grind.)
Still, it’s a calm, wholesome experience—the kind of game that scratches that “I want to run a cozy small business” itch without the real-life stress.

¹Mea culpa. I probably should’ve planned ahead a bit better.
