  • I’ve paid a lot more for a lot less

    The first time I played, I probably spent at least an hour crafting my little town and buildings. It was delightful and relaxing, well worth the purchase price right there. It’s engaging without being addictive. You can leave it for weeks, or play it every day, and it’ll be there.

    For a while I thought you couldn’t delete buildings, only undo, and I kinda liked that. Like a real old European coastal town that just keeps building up and out. Then my daughter discovered you can tap and hold to delete. Either way, the simplicity and restrictions are perfectly elegant. I don’t want the makers to change a single thing.

  • Amazing game

    My little brother loves this game and he suggested that maybe people become part of it and the bigger the building the richer the person, as in king or peasant type thing. But I love this game how it is anyway and I would also love to see improvements and added things obviously but it’s amazing as is. Thank you for making this amazing game.

  • Great game needs refinement

    So the game is very fun and has very great graphics, it has a all around great feel and main idea but. My requests are

    1 expand the outward border as my towns always seem kinda small and needs growth

    2.the size and shape of some pieces add much needed flow or better feel but can leave very random pieced that stick out or are super skinny while also the edge can be nice a smooth or made of ugly squares that hinder the games feel

    3.custom colors of walls and maybe some different roofs as they always seem the exact same, floors or paths are also a good thing to add colors too

    4.some quick builds as filling in the entire floor is not a fun task and perhaps you could add a setting allowing starting templates (full floor, canal world) just some extra things.

  • Good way to zen out for a bit

    It’s a cool chill little app. My only wish would be to be able to have the camera a bit more free. Inadvertently this is a little tool I can use for setting up backgrounds in comics and cartoons I make. Just dabble around, screen grab what I made then use it as a base for me to draw around. It’s a lot more fun when I have zero inspiration in front of sketch up or blender. Right now the camera seems to move in a half dome, so difficult to have an up angle liking up at a skyscraper I created :(

  • Can’t wait to see where this goes

    Not sure it’s worth the price just yet, but certainly will be with a few more updates. Perhaps a floor painting tool so it doesn’t have to be only-enclosed gardens, and some people/pets to animate the paths between houses. Boats to make harbours will be awesome afterwards.

    This game is wonderfully designed and so relaxing after work. The grid system is so quirky and makes some wonderful shapes!

    Keep it up Devs! When I run out of steam playing I’ll keep my eyes out for an update!

  • 4 stars for potential

    I would happily give this app 5 stars if it had a few changes:
    1. An option to add/delete large swaths of building at once
    2. An optimization of the save map feature. You are unable to delete maps, and having to delete a single block via long press makes the ordeal of starting again not worthwhile
    I also think more features involving the building in general would be fun.

  • Zen Out

    My new go to app now to simply zen out. There is something so relaxing about the creation of these little towns that I love. The art is adorable and with the day and night settings you can change the whole feel of your city. With my rain machine and a cup of tea I could literally get lost in this little gem!

  • Absolutely amazing!

    This is so addictive, I had to turn on time limits to stop playing hours straight. Which is really surprising given that there isn’t much of a game per se. You literally just building a little town. No grind, no in-app purchases, no battle royale, no pay to win. Nothing that spoils the pure joy! This is masterpiece.

    P.S. Apple Store somehow lost my first significantly longer review. Shame on you Apple! Game deserves 6 stars!

  • Beautiful

    This is a beautiful game. There is no point to it, which is why they refer to it as a toy; which is a pretty good description. It is interesting to see the different things that pop up. The doodads and knickknacks.

    The controls are very intuitive, which is awesome. Once you get going, you can create some very whimsical structures. In my minds eye, I see the people that live in the town: walking, riding small boats to deliver the mail or visit a neighbor. I’m not saying to put these in the game, that’s just where my imagination goes.

    Quickly you learn some of the rules. I’m not going to tell you any because part of the fun is discovering them.

    It would be nice to see different architectural styles. Not all at the same time, but choose before you start. Like city brownstone, or medieval village. The seaside village, though, is perfect.

  • Great game!

    A couple of days ago this released on mobile, (after a year of waiting) and I’m having so much fun with it! This will definitely be my most favourite game for a while. Great work!
