Full-blown games with great graphics, fun mechanics, and in-depth storylines are great. They’re what take up the bulk of gaming, cozy or not, and offer some incredible experiences for everyone. However, you sometimes just want something scaled back. Something to play for a few minutes at a time while you work on homework or take a break from your work-from-home job. These 10 mini desktop games are perfect for that! They sit at the bottom of your screen (some can sit vertically down the sides, too) and run in the background while you do your thing.
Rusty’s Retirement
Rusty’s Retirement started it all for me. This was the first cozy bottom-of-your-screen game I encountered and it’s the perfect one to start with if you love farming sims. Start out small and grow your tiny farm piece by piece. Rusty will work while you’re busy, farming, caring, and gathering crops. You can even employ worker robots to help speed up the process, too. There’s also a Focus Mode to slow down crop production if you feel things are moving too fast while you’re busy with other tasks. This makes for an even less distracting game!
Bao Bao’s Laundromat
If you prefer a business-based game over a farm sim, then try Bao Bao’s Laundromat instead! This one doesn’t sit as tiny on the bottom of the screen as others, but it will sit in the background and continue playing as you work on other tasks. In this cute game, you help Bao Bao open a laundromat and turn it into a bustling mega-business. Install washers and dryers, buy land to expand, hire different types of pandas, and more. Relax to the excellent soundtrack and set the Focus Timers to assist you with study or work sessions. There’s not much better than a gamified productivity tool.
Tiny Vending Machines
Here’s another business-based mini desktop game. Tiny Vending Machines is about building your vending machine empire. Buy and manage a variety of vending machines. Stock them with products like drinks, candy, ice cream, fruit, fast food, salads, soups, and so much more. Keep your machines stocked as customers will show up randomly to make purchases. Upgrade the vending machines to increase their capacity. Their highest upgrade fully automates them, too!
My Little Life
Take a life sim and make it tiny, and you get My Little Life! Watch as your little character leads their life as you complete work. They’ll choose a career based on what they’re good at, and their paychecks increase based on their skills within that career. You can then spend their hard-earned money on items to decorate their home with. You can even recruit more people to play with and build separate homes for everyone, or make one mega mansion. It’s an idle game, but you have some fun choices to make!
Desktop Cat Cafe
Desktop Cat Cafe is another adorable business-based mini desktop game. This time, you get to design your dream cafe and serve cute cats. Design the outdoor cafe using hundreds of decor options. Unlock 150+ recipes to serve in your cafe. Serve tasty items like cannolis, bubble tea, and matcha cake. Automate the business by hiring some cats so they can serve customers while you’re busy with work. Happy customers means more money, after all.
Cozy Littlequarium
Cozy Littlequarium takes relaxing aquarium building to the next level by putting it at the bottom of your screen and letting you care for it at your own pace! Study, work, or even play other games while your aquarium hangs out at the bottom of your screen. Purchase a variety of tropical or freshwater fish to stock your tank. Decorate with a number of different items to create a peaceful, natural, vibrant, or magical look to the aquarium. You can even breed fish and discover new types to fill out your compendium!
Deskquarium
Deskquarium is another aquarium idler, but it sits comfortably in the corner of your screen. Choose which aquarium type you want, and get to work filling it how you want. Pick from different kinds and colors of fish. Decorate the tank with fun plant life or rocks. There are even different water pumps to simulate a real aquarium build. Play around with your options to create our favorite aquascape and let it hang out on your desktop for some relaxing vibes.
Ropuka’s Idle Island
Ropuka’s Idle Island is described as a “playable sticker”. It’s a small little game that sits anywhere on your desktop. On that tiny island is a cute frog who spends his days cutting the grass that grows constantly. Watch Ropuka cut the grass day in and day out, and watch him take naps, too. Then, use the grass as currency to upgrade his tools or buy decorations to make the island super cozy. You can change the color of the grass, add bushes and plants, decorations, and more to make things super cute!
Whimside
If you prefer creature collectors, then Whimside is the perfect bottom-of-the-screen game for you! Explore the tiny world of Whimside and adventure through some enchanting environments in search of Whimlings to capture. You can also breed Whimlings to get hybrids. Each biome you encounter has its own secrets and rare breeds to capture. Use decorations to create your very own Whimling paradise and have your favorite creatures live there. These Whimlings will keep you company throughout the day while you get work done!
Tiny Pasture
Tiny Pasture is last on our list, and also another idler that has to do with animals. Cozy up with a variety of adorable animals like red pandas, deer, rabbits, alpacas, and more. Feed them, interact with them, and watch them grow on your screen. Put up a Mystery Curtain in the pasture and choose two adult animals of the same species to breed them and get more cute babies. Also buy magical items to help you care for and clean up after the animals to keep them happy and in tip top shape! You want them to keep you company while you work, after all.
