Latest Steam announcements

  • 1.0.2 - 10 July 2025

    Hi all, -Improved balance to penguin mini-game (reduced move speed and max spawn rate of bats). There was a lot of feedback on the tuning of the difficulty and I hope this tips things in the right direction - please keep the feedback coming if the balance can still be improved! If you are still struggling with any minigames, a "godmode" can be activated pressing the G key. -Added a sensitivity slider option if you are using a controller (if you use a controller, stay tuned because my current major task is slowly building up better controller support) -many minor bug fixes Thanks so much for playing, for your support, and for continued feedback since launch - I think the game is already in a much better place in just under 3 weeks!

  • Patch 1.0.1 - 23 June 2025

    Hi all, thanks for everyone who has been enjoying the game and providing feedback and bug reports so far! Here are the updates for this patch: Recipe discovery system! From now on, after you unlock the alchemy station, there is a small chance that a recipe page will drop when harvesting certain crops or Critters. Discovered recipes will be recorded in the stats tab (the blue star) in the journal. Mute buttons for poop and text sounds – Important: If you are a current player, these will be turned on when you start your game after the update. They will save with your other settings accordingly, afterwards. Ability to skip cutscenes Many many many bugfixes (thanks for the patience and assistance in squashing this so far!)

  • CritterGarden out now! - 20 June 2025

    Hi everyone!CritterGarden 1.0 is officially out! Thank you to everyone who has followed and supported the three year journey up until now, especially those who have playtested and contributed feedback to the game's development. If you're a new player, welcome and thanks for checking the game out! I truly hope you are able to appreciate what I tried to capture by making this game, and that you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it!Here's a roadmap for the game going forward:1.) Bug fixes, balancing/tweaks, QoLThe absolute initial priority, I plan to make sure the current base game is as bug free and fun to play as possible! Please drop by the discord if you encounter any issues or have minor QoL suggestions.2.) Better controller support, console porting, localizationThe next step will be to port the game to other platforms, with a particular focus on a potential mobile release,…

  • CritterGarden Releasing June 20th! - 11 June 2025

    Hi everyone! I am super excited to announce that CritterGarden will be releasing on Friday June 20! The full game will feature 96 Critters to discover, 64 plants to grow, and 32 unique objects to help you grow your planet back to life! I officially started working on CritterGarden in June 2022, so it has been a three year project coming to a close! I'm excited for everyone to experience the full version - for VP fans, I really hope it scratches that itch, and for players new to the genre I hope you discover the joy of creating gardens for your Critters! I will announce more details on the short-term roadmap upon release, but I also really look forward to the reaction and experience of players once the full game is out there. Please join us in the Discord if you have comments or questions!Best,David

  • Next Fest halfway point - The big poop update! - 27 February 2025

    Hi everyone, Thanks so much for your support and feedback during Next Fest so far! I'm happy to announce a tiny, but potentially high impact midway update based on the most common feedback I've received so far. Poop can now be collected simply by hovering your cursor over it - no clicks required! Furthermore, you will collect it no matter what tool you have out - it doesn't have to be the hand (I hear our virtual avatar thanks us dearly for this). In addition, I doubled the amount of hard soil around the ship when a new game starts. This effectively doubles the amount of fertilizer you can get at the beginning, as some players expressed they were getting bottle-necked and having to wait for the Critters to do their business early on - I hope this helps that out a bit! (but remember to use this valuable resource wisely, as well as use logs to your advantage ;)) Finally, since Next Fest s…

  • CritterGarden in February Next Fest! - 21 February 2025

    Hi all, I'm excited to announce CritterGarden will be featured in this week's Next Fest event! If you haven't played the demo recently, or haven't had a chance to try it out yet, now would be a great opportunity! Along with the update, I have added achievements (CHEEVOS) to the demo version! There are ten to unlock and guide you through the available demo content in the game - if you manage to unlock all 10 - congrats! Hope you enjoy it and be sure to drop by our Discord community (link on sidebar and ingame) to say hi! -Minjonia Studios

  • CritterGarden in Wholesome Games Celebration and Demo Update - 3 August 2024

    Hi all! I'm happy to announce CritterGarden will be featured in the Wholesome Games Steam celebration. Huge thank you to the team over at https://wholesomegames.com/ for hosting this event and for giving indies a shot at some exposure! To go with the event, I will be launching an updated demo on Aug 15, The most notable feature is the inclusion of Critter variants! Along with the breeding and mutation tabs, you can now click on the variant tab under a Critter's info to learn about what it needs to eat to turn into a variant form! Discovering variant form provides experience, which I think really helps streamline and speed-up the "slower" early game progression. Enjoy the winding down days of summer, I will be back in the Fall with more updates, along with news about NextFest participation!

  • CritterGarden and Farming Fest 2024 - 29 April 2024

    Hi CritterGardeners! CritterGarden will be featured as part of Steam's Farming Fest this week! If you haven't played the demo yet, now would be a perfect time and be sure to share with your friends! I'll be live streaming periodically throughout the event. Hope you all Enjoy!

  • CritterGarden Demo Out Now! - 12 April 2024

    Hi all, Thanks so much to the 182 playtests over the past couple of months! I've received a heap of great feedback and have been hard at work polishing it into a new demo product which I am excited to share today! I hope this is able to reach more players and help get some feedback to improve the game even further. PS. I think I'm supposed to keep it on the downlow, but part of the reason for the demo release is CritterGarden will be participating in an upcoming event soon - more to come!

  • CritterGarden Playtest now Open! - 16 February 2024

    The CritterGarden Playtest is now open to the public! Just click the "Request Access" button and you'll automatically be let in! If you try out the game, please hop by our Discord server and leave some feedback: Discord I really want this to be a community driven development process! Enjoy!

Short description

You are an astrobiologist stranded on a lifeless planet. Breathe new life into this mysterious world by gathering plants, animals, and research upgrades to help it grow back to its full potential. Collect, breed, and evolve over 90 cute and quirky Critters to help you on your journey back home!

About this game

Breed, feed, and collect cute Critters in this cozy, relaxing farm sim that is easy to pick up and play for all ages. Critters have complex emotional needs that must be balanced to keep them alive and happy. Critters need to eat, and each species has a unique diet. Discover new Critters by evolving the ones that are present in your garden to complete your Critter Phylogeny! Every Critter’s ancestry can be traced on the grand tree of life – who knows what kinds of great beasts might descend from your humble Slimes? Get creative! Create distinctive gardens with biome-specific needs and features, including traditional farms, cactus gardens, forests of fruit trees, and more! Unlock research upgrades to enhance the efficiency of your gardening, such as faster tools, quicker Critter breeding, and earning more currency. Paying attention to the specific evolution requirements of Critters and growing conditions of plants will help you check off every task in your journal to achieve 100% completion in growing your collection of life! Through gardening and crafting recipes, you can create balanced ecosystems across nine unique biomes. From the desert to the arctic, manage your resources and space to support plenty of plant and Critter species. Each plant thrives in specific biomes and on suitable surface conditions! Care for your crops' unique needs, and experiment with different care techniques to see the best results in your harvest. Sow and grow your seeds, feed your Critters, and sell what’s left to purchase unlockable tools, farm layouts, designs, and items that help automate and improve the efficiency of your gardening tasks! Complete four classic arcade-style mini games to collect all necessary parts required to fix your ship and return home. Throughout your journey, your robot companion will task you with quests filled with lore and valuable rewards. Discover at your own pace why the planet you’ve landed on is devoid of life, along with the deeper and darker secrets your new and mysterious robot companion is hiding.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 4, 2026 to Oct 4, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $9.99
  • Highest observed: $9.99

CritterGarden's USD price history spans from Oct 4, 2026 to Oct 4, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $9.99, the highest is $9.99, and the first visible tracked price is $9.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

CritterGarden's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99, from Oct 4, 2026 through Oct 4, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99. The latest run records $9.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $9.99
  • Current list price: $9.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records CritterGarden at $9.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
