This is an extremely cute house building game. One thing however, I did find it a little frustrating if I place down an item then wanting to move it, I'd have to delete the item then go back into the item menu and select it from there. Another thing is I wish we could choose the colour of items. Certain items are one colour in menu (take example the graffiti) then it's a different colour once you place it. The tutorial is also a little lacking. It can be confusing sometimes with the popups. I think there should be a quick tutorial to show how to play the game. Overall though, I enjoyed playing this game.

SUMMERHOUSE is a quaint and relaxing little game with an enchanting art style. Or rather, it's about 80% of a game. Keeping in mind that it's a one-man project, there are certain glaring things missing from it that I personally would have made sure to add before release. - The ability to simply click to drag an object to move it is just a strange feature not to include, and makes every action twice the amount of work it should be. - The available selection of items to decorate with is simply too small most of the time. Some strange choices were made by the designer of which item varieties there are enough of and which not - there are three parasols, but only one (strangely huge) plastic chair and one plastic table to put under them. There are several advertisement signs but only one lamp, and none of them light up at night. Even just different colour varieties of items to pick from would add loads of artistic freedom. - The UI falls short. There is no scroll bar and scroll sensitivity is low. Items of wildly different sizes show up as the same size in the menu, so you have no idea what you're getting. Items are also highly pixelated in the menu to the point of being unrecognizable at times. Menus will frequently reset to the top half the time, and several times they bugged out completely. - The textures of placeable items frequently clash with each other's meshes. Certain items that are supposed to be stuck to a wall can not be put at the correct depth to actually stick to the wall, either sitting inside or floating in front of it. Side scrolling reveals that the sides of any wall block or roof block are completely untextured. So after that laundry list of problems, do I recommend the game? Yes. It's gorgeous and meditative. It's an impressive effort for one man to have made. Really, my only hope is that the author continues to fix the problems above and add more items/colour options. With these issues adressed the game would be simply excellent.

I got this game for shts and giggles and it’s actually a lot of fun. Wish I could give some suggestions to the creator. 1: lamp doesn't light up at night 2: should add Christmas lights/LED for building 3: I can’t seem to edit an already placed item only able to delete it, would be nice to be able to edit a placed item already like it’s depth. 4: should add a key bind/ability to change menu 5: more landscapes because they are nice:) I got tons more ideas but these are probably the most beneficial 100% recommend this game

hey screenshot lovers, press H key then we will be happy! hey Friedemann, this kind of info is THE THING you have to tell us. (and thanks for making this lovely game!)

So, I bought the game the moment it released, and I think I am going to sink a lot of hours into this game. Its a relaxing, creative building simulator. Build your house how you want it and make it however you want! Think townscaper, but just the house. During my playtime I could just feel myself relax to the music and the visuals. Even when I made something that arguably looks bad, It still has its charm in this game. The only real feedback I would have is to have more blocks to make your house even better. Or give tools to the community so they can create more models on the workshop to be used in the game. All in all, I can recommend it!
