With hundreds of games releasing each week, discoverability is a well-known issue for game developers and publishers on Steam, even as the storefront has made moves to address the issue, like a personalized release calendar for users. Still, the final boss of game development for indies and their AAA counterparts is getting players’ eyes on their games.
What likely doesn’t help that issue? Releasing your game the same week as another game with the exact same name. That’s what happened to the developers of Piece by Piece and Piece by Piece, but they’ve made the most of it.
Gamkat’s Piece by Piece is a cozy management sim. You’ll play as an adorable orange fox who runs a repair shop. Neon Polygons’ Piece by Piece, which came out two days later, is a puzzle platformer whose levels are divided into puzzle pieces. You’ll connect, move, and rotate them to progress.
