Survive the Urban Jungle!

Good Luck is a third-person arcade platformer. Filled with lighthearted humor, the game’s objective is to reach your meeting by navigating streets, jumping, and climbing. The city is having a bad day, and if something can go wrong, it will.

Players can expect absurd traps, unexpected threats, and high-stakes situations where no mistakes are allowed. In Good Luck, even a banana peel, trash can, or streetlight can be deadly.

Total Chaos and Crazy Co-Op

The game stands out for its unpredictable physics-based chaos and lack of checkpoints, offering single-player and up to 5-player online co-op modes.

The creators at Happybara Games say Good Luck uniquely blends urban survival with mechanics typical of the “rage game” subgenre. It shines in co-op, where chaos and frustration mix with epic plays.

Good Luck – Key Features:

• Make it to the meeting;
• Survive the urban jungle;
• Don’t count on checkpoints;
• Battle chaotic physics;
• Play solo or with friends (up to 5 players online).

The PC (Steam) release date for Good Luck is April 8, 2026. The game will also launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles later.

A New Name, a New Home, a New Chapter Rooted in Community, Calm, a Packet of Seeds

NICOSIA, Cyprus – April 2, 2026 – Publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment proudly announces its partnership with Bajka Games and the rebrand of their cozy indoor farming sim. Tiny Eden, formerly known as City Garden Harvest, will release on PC via Steam in Q3 2026.

The new name reflects a clearer, warmer vision of what has always been at the heart of the wholesome experience, shaped by community feedback and a deeper focus on the quiet joy.

Life in a megacity presses in from all sides – concrete, glass, endless gray. But when a simple packet of seeds arrives at the door, everything changes. What starts as a single pot on a windowsill becomes something more: the quiet joy of watching green push through soil, the rhythm of watering and waiting, the first taste of a tomato. The apartment begins to breathe. For the first time, the city feels like it might actually become home, an Eden.

Features

• Grow: Plant flowers, berries, and vegetables right in the living room. Nurture them through every stage – from seed to sprout to harvest. With realistic soil chemistry and distinct growth phases, every plant feels alive. Watch a windowsill turn into a green corner, and that corner into a greenhouse.
• Craft & Cook: Transform vegetables into something even better. Create and cook recipes in the kitchen. From fresh salads to baked goods – create meals that taste like home. Sell them at the market, or support neighbors.
• Sell & Expand: The city is hungry for real food. Sell a harvest and handmade goods to the people, then reinvest. Create signature recipes, set up automation, craft space — turn a small apartment into a productive green sanctuary.
• Design Your Space: Decorate with dozens of interior items – whether it’s a cozy jungle hideaway or a clean, efficient growing station. Here, plants aren’t just crops. They’re part of a home.

Aliaksandr Piskun, CEO of Bajka Games:

“The idea for this game came to me during the isolation of the pandemic. It started as a personal meditation on loneliness and the comfort of small, quiet rituals like watering a plant and watching something grow. That became the seed of the game (no pun intended). We wanted to create a space where players could slow down and feel something gentle, where the act of growing plants was also, in some way, about growing a sense of peace. Working with the Digital Vortex team gave us the room to take that feeling seriously and build real depth around it, so that Tiny Eden isn’t just cozy on the surface but has something genuine underneath.”

Alex Izotov, CEO of Digital Vortex Entertainment:

“From the very first moment, we were really impressed by Bajka Games’ craftsmanship and attention to detail. Not only is Tiny Eden beautifully made, it also captures that rare harmony between depth and comfort – meaningful systems and a world that genuinely feels like home. This philosophy aligns with our own: every small detail shapes the player’s experience, and when those details come together, they create something truly memorable. We’re excited to support the team in bringing this warm, distinctive vision to players around the world”.

Follow updates and share your feedback by joining the official Discord server, following Tiny Eden on X/Twitter, watching the game on TikTok and adding it to your Steam Wishlist.
