Game is abandoned. If you are waiting for an update like the controller update, it aint happening. They fired everyone on the team and there's barely anyone working. I'd only buy this if it was $5. From their Discord: "Yeah... the tiny little interesting thing about that is that we're kinda on hold 😬 times were tough after the release, so we've had to let everyone go (you could see life disappear from the server …

First and foremost - the devs at HalfBeard are updating Morp literally daily. They're in the game's Discord 24/7. They're implementing updates that the community is asking for ON THE VERY NEXT DAY. Seriously. If you enjoy watching EA games come together then snag yourself a copy, join the Discord, and buckle up. The game itself is a more sandbox-y Slime Rancher with a fantastic built-in wiki/search mechanic, and …

Factorio X Slime Rancher! It's a fun cozy little colony sim game where you automate resource gathering using morps to advance the story and tech tree. Devs are very active and helpful in the Discord, giving hints and responding to issues and questions very quickly. Definitely recommend, I can't wait for full release!

It's quite good - a sort of building-farming game with some automation here and there. You grab these little critters, put them in a sufficiently spacious and decorated enclosure, and give them materials that they like for them to produce other materials. Materials are then used for construction, research, or creating other materials. The game's pretty kind, you get resources back when deconstructing buildings and …

The game is finally out of early access. Here are my first impressions. The character customisation is cute and simple, and I love the fact that you can unlock new assets by playing the game. The cutscenes are smooth. The NPC’s all have a friendly charm, tutorial is easy to understand. And most importantly of all, THE MORPS ARE SO CUTE!!!

77% of the 160 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Time to Morp. The complaint that keeps coming up: game feels abandoned with no updates. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My favorite part of the game so far is when Morpius shows up and said "it's morpin' time" and Morbed all over those guys
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I personally not a fan of reviews that seem scripted, filled with buzzwords and just fluff. So lemme cut to the chase, if you can get the game on a 50% sale, it's definitely worth the time you'll get out of it. It's an Early Access game that is constantly getting updates but really lacks substance compared to a game like Slime Rancher that has been out since 2016. Sadly for myself as a person who loves automation games and games that offer a relaxing time, I currently have very few pros…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →We ❤️ reading your reviews for our games! Time to Morp is Slime Racher meets Factorio?! WELL SAID!!
neutral · AI labelView post →I enjoy this game. It is very cute, the concept is nice and the little monsters you collect are adorable. Definitely more for single player than multiplayer for a few reasons, but I will get to that. Having played with friends for a few hours I can say it has it's charm. However I have a few more gripes with it than I do praises. -Firstly the forced togetherness to progress the game makes it very annoying to talk to the NPCs when everyone wants to do their own thing and is at different…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has a lot of effort put into it, but to the people who plan on buying the game - please ignore the automation tag, relative to the other indie games, the automation here is functional but horrible. Calculating productions is tough, tools are lacking and weird (Pipes can pull through only one item at a time, splitters refuse to work if one of the inputs is full), scaling is nonexistent, automation is treated more like 1-solution puzzle. The rest of the game is... I mean, decorations…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cute idea but feels wildly unfinished. do not pay full price for this. lacks serious quality of life, feels extremely tedious. no reason to farm half of what you do, no reason to level up relationships with crew or morps (which is annoying and rng based on its own), no reason to use a lot of your research. we finished the main storyline and went oh what was the point lol it could be really fun and enjoyable in the future but it looks like from other comments its been abandoned which is a…

neutral · AI labelView post →I was hoping this would be Slime Ranchers mixed with Satisfactory. It's more like Slime Rancher crossed with Animal Crossing New Horizons with sprinkles of automation. My solo experience to this point has me very much "whelmed." I would like to take a moment to point out that a 1.1 update was promised and planned for Q2 of 2025 but no news pertaining to said update has come out and it's early Q4 2025. The art direction is cute! I loved the player customization; though I found it odd how it…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic game! If you're a fan of Palworld, you'll find this game similarly engaging. Although it begins at a slower pace, it soon evolves into an intricate factory game. Unlike Palworld, it skips the routine aspects like base building, eating, and crafting, and instead plunges you directly into the excitement of collecting creatures, exploring their evolution, and creating spaces for them to harvest materials for you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →didn't play that long but so far I like it. plays really good on the steam deck, no issue for me there.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cannot recommend if you intend to play with a controller. Settings are limited and controller bindings cannot be changed and applied if they overlap, even if they are in seperate instances of the game, such as in-menu buttons and in-world buttons.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My boyfriend got me this game on a whim because it's an incredible amalgamation of a lot of things we like playing together: base building, resource management, cute design... we've been having an absolute blast muddling our way through things and figuring out stuff together! I tend to like looking after things like our farms, making sure everyone of our crew mates and our morps like us, doing organizational things, and making things look nice. My boyfriend tends to focus on the actual…

neutral · AI labelView post →The game is cute and there is a lot of effort put into it, but there is VERY LITTLE tutorial explanation of the mechanics of the game, and you end up just completing micro quests for ages. We didn't make it past 1.5 hours because we were just running around doing these micro tasks not really knowing what were supposed to be working toward. Small tasks with no main goal is just annoying to play, give me freedom as a player to figure things out on my own.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game feels half baked to be honest. The gameplay loop is repetitive and there's no goal or reason for anything. It's good for about 10 hours of gameplay at the most, I wouldn't buy it again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're looking for a cozy game to enjoy with a loved one, this is a great pick! It's perfect if one of you enjoys automation-type challenges, like optimizing production lines or factories, but still want the cozy vibes of more relaxing games like harvest moon or Minecraft. There are no deadlines or lives at stake - just a colony of cute little blobs. You take care of adorable creatures called Morps, who help you produce materials as you progress, in exchange for a home they like. You learn…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought to play co-op. Every time the second player joins they cannot move and the game crashes. The first player can customise their character but the second player always gets a random build, even though they customised their own. Not recommended for multiplayer. When I customise my character it put me in long grass. Seems silly when you can't see half the character to pick boot colours, designs or see what you properly look like.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was billed as Slime Rancher meets Satisfactory. And I loved Satisfactory. This ain't it. The automation is so hard to understand, me and my friend spend more time trying to figure out how things are supposed to work than actually playing. The game is not at all polished. The controls are clunky, the UI is atrocious. And its a small enough game there's very few resources available and no updates anywhere in sight.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd call this a crafting sandbox creature collector with some rudimentary story. You have some quests that give you a little guidance but that's about it. The automation is very lackluster as you can't automate the watering of plants beside certain morps (collectible critters) because the "tech" of the sprinkler changes the theme of the habitat which makes it useless. Morps produce specific resources you need to collect and use for crafting and unlocking new items and recipes. That's a nice…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →# Something for everyone My boyfriend and I have different taste in games - I enjoy the cozy stardew valley type, he's more the automation and upgrading fanatic. I was drawn to this game because of the cute little creatures and style and suggested to my boyfriend we try the Demo since it has automation. So we decided to give it a shot, and we have absolutelyyyy #norugrats. Even the Demo alone already gets you several hours of playtime, and after investing 5 hours into the Demo, buying the game…

neutral · AI labelView post →very clunky, copy paste graphics, not great customization. especially being abandoned, no tutorial for buttons so you just end up button mashing. for 20 dollars, i get maybe 5. dont reccommend in current state but to each their own!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is currently one of my favorite automation/colony sim games. Somehow it's managed create an environment welcoming to newcomers while also appealing to people like myself who crave the problem solving and optimization that this genre brings to the table. Don't be completely fooled by its welcoming and cozy vibes. While it is still is a warm and cozy experience, there are a lot of tools and devices at your disposal in this game that allow for some pretty crazy and intricate setups through…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Devs abandoned game without notice and polish was never applied. Really unfortunate. I loved the premise but the game simply isn't ready and evidently, never will be.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is abandoned. The dev team no longer exists and the game was left in an unfinished state. Graphics are poor with lots of clipping and odd stylistic choices that lead to eye strain, mechanics are unpolished, and characters are flat. I played with the hope the game would improve over time, but knowing this is the final product I can't say it's worth your money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had picked up this game with a friend, and unfortunately I believe I am the one responsible for recommending it as the game we played together. I have regrets and I am happy to say I will never be installing this again. The friend in question and myself have a history of playing games similar in vibe to this, tech-based Minecraft modpacks, slime rancher, satisfactory, and stardew valley (late game when you do more complex tasks). So you’d think this kind of game would be enjoyable and stick…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A perfect cozy game to chill and enjoy . The game has light colour tone or artstyle which is mostly the theme for all Cozy games and I like it . The game is automation and production based but there are a lot stuff to explore and do in the game . It would be amazing to play with friends , iam thinking to play it with one of my friends as its super fun to explore and go silly. Can decorate the base and adore the lil creatures.and what not. Developers doing a good job as I did played it before…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In short: this game is great and I'm loving the experience. An absolute visual treat to a lullaby soundscape featuring well judged Morp sound effects. I very rarely buy games and I have no regrets with this one. A bit longer: I'm several hours into this and am now realising I've been incredibly inefficient -- but that is ok! There is no pressure to get things done fast, its fine to explore, and I like that muy bien. I'd describe this as a pastel coloured satisfactory with jelly baby slaves…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I expected to like this game. I did not expect to love it as much as I am so far.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game just feels clunky and the fence mechanic is bad and restrictive. Also I need a little more hand holding in the tutorial. I do like the art style.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Something different. A fun mashup of farming and automation games, namely Slime Rancher and Satisfactory. Worth playing!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very fun game. Started before the august update and just tried the new update out. The game is pretty easy and relaxing while also being child friendly. I always played in duo and had really few connection issues. There is about 20 hours of (fun) content if played in duo. The recent update overhauled the research system which was a bit of a chore before. The automation part is fun, but it still needs a bit more fine tuning, as there is still no way to automate a few machines (like the new…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game, similar style to Factorio but way way cuter. You explore a world of morphing creatures and safe guard them in pens from the elements (and corruption) when they feel safe they will also start producing items you can use on your way to automation as long as you feed them and tend to their needs. All this to fight against the corruption that's making the Morps scared.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tl;dr - The game is way too underbaked, but you should expect that for first week into early access apparently by now. It doesn't seem to be a bad game, but I can not recommend buying it from a standpoint of wanting content, you will be paying for the future potential. "Cute" creatures, don't make compelling gameplay. It is what you can do later which adds attachment. Easiest additions would be hats, outfits, either to their pen theme or otherwise, maybe some sort of name tags and having one…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was on the fence as to whether I wanted to negatively review this or leave it be for now, at least until I got stuck. I reached a point where I needed a certain type of seed to advance, and that seed can only be found in small, rare, randomly-respawning resource nodes. There's a scanner upgrade to locate these resource nodes... that is only unlocked by first finding enough of them to get enough seeds to unlock a prerequisite technology. I ran around for half an hour searching for the resource…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1.0 UPDATE Since I last played, Time to Morp has recieved a lot of new features, quality of life updates and adorable morp interactions with the environment. The option to increase placement brush size with roads is great, the change in terraforming is much needed and addition of fishing and farming add more depth to the game. Though I've yet to get far enough to see if all of the issues I've had with the game have been addressed, some definitely have been, and that's great to see. The only…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a wonderful game that deserves more attention, this game was made with so much love and attention to detail it has made me happy cry which I can't say any game has made me do. The fact that this game is so good with such a small team going through hard times and struggling with money is just wow. I can't wait for any future update this game has and I'll be sure to tell people about this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game surprised me with how much fun it is! It has a similar creature collection aspect to slime rancher in that the base monster morphs into other things based on what you feed it and can be evolved, and also has specific care requirements. This on it's own is fun if you like catching them all but the town building and automation aspects on top of it, as well as life sim style villager rep gains, really makes a well rounded game with an addictive gameplay loop. The multiplayer experience…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Giving it a thumbs up, but recommend buying it at a discount. It's interesting and fun up to a point, then towards the end the game gets really tiresome and repetitive, with the last few morps requiring way too much work to make happy (not in an interesting complex way, just a lot of work).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Imagine Factorio or Satisfactory, but not as huge, and instead of machines digging and transforming resources there are cute living creature doing that. The game is is captivating and has reasonable balance for when different pieces of automation become available. It has enough content, I would buy it for the current price even if won't get better as it gets closer to full release. Some bugs exist, which shouldn't be surprising for game that is in early access and released to the public less…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →UI and controls were unfriendly and the tutorial needs work. The resources were all to far from my starting area - but that might have been bad luck on the world spawn. The morps/creatures were cute and the game had some charm but it needs a lot more work before I can recommend anyone.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the demo with my pals and I like the full version a lot more just a few things annoy me. Grass is the main one. I hate grass in this game. No bugs so far, it's a very radical game. (I was going to go on a rant but decided to not be up super late writing that.)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Doesnt give a very good first impression, customization isnt that great, the lack of gender wouldnt bother me if it was first person. The morphs look very.. Static, they dont have any vibrancy to them and the UX isnt very user friendly. Which is a shame. I'm sure this game will eventually become good, however currently it feels under baked. Good luck on your journey, this game isnt for me however.

They're adorable creatures, that you can morph into whatever your needs require, while staying heart-melting with their expressions and acting! Due to them morphing from one type to another, it quickly turns into trying to figure out what you can use and combine to make different kinds of Morps, for different kinds of resources! They're not harmful at…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this game full price because I loved the demo so much and it had been on my wishlist forever.... only to find that this game has been completely abandoned for a hot second (over a year at this point). Not worth $20 in any world in its current state, but if you see it on sale for max $10 and you liked the demo I'd say get it. I really wish I could recommend this game, but I really really can't
