  • A modest domestic burgundy…

    ..but I think you will be amused by its presumption.” This caption from a decades past New Yorker cartoon was the first thought that popped into my mind when I found this app on Steam last year.

    This delightful pastime is Perhaps not what many would call a game, but it is a relaxing activity that always leaves me with the feeling of time not wasted.

  • I Love This Game, But…

    This game is amazing and I love it so much! But I think that it would be better if just like the houses we could add in small simplified people that just automatically wander around and they can live in the houses. It’d also be cool if we could add pets and animals that just wandered around and some structures would be easier to choose on your own.

  • Love the game, want more…

    I really enjoy this game, however, I would LOVE if theres an option to have the ambient music that plays in the menu play while building.

    Another aspect that would make the game even more special is if there was an option to “activate” the town and watch it come to life full of townspeople walking the streets. Also adding options to change building materials (wood, grass, brick).

  • Amazing but…

    Would be cool if there were different architectural styles to choose from
  • Has Potential

    Would like to see this app feature much more within it to maintain interest and inspire a deeper creativity level.

    The style and buildings are definitely cute and feature unique qualities when placed together. However, I found I was burnt out just after a few hours of playing as there just wasn’t too much to expand on or interest me.

    Would be amazing if it featured both on ground & water building in comparison to just water. having a modern style, high rise, cute stores, tiny markets, restaurants, cars, animals. Esp people functioning throughout; going boating, walking the streets, eating, in and out of buildings, and seeing them on upper floors living and functioning inside buildings etc.

    Would be nice to have it be customizable: colors, more variety of building styles etc

    Has potential, but needs to expand into a greater design/gameplay to hold interest and be worth its high price point.

  • Awesome, relaxing, fun game

    Finally, someone made a stylish city-builder game with no pressure to do anything but build and enjoy!

    This relaxing game is easy to jump into or out of at any time when you have a few minutes, as it saves progress at all times. Perfect for busy people like me.

    There are no ads or IAP, and the premium price is fair. It also doesn’t take much storage.

    I’m so glad for independent developers like this who come up with creative ideas and monetize fairly. I highly recommend this game for people who want a relaxing experience with no pressure to micromanage details.

    Thank you for a great game!

  • Needs features to bring towns to life

    This is such a fun, mesmerizing app but I feel that there are a couple of features that would make it a joy to play.
    #1. While building my towns I find myself really wanting to see PEOPLE walking around and doing things, ex: riding bikes, carrying shopping bags, parents holding their kid’s hand, etc. Would be so cute! Please add! (Also boats sailing through the water would be so so great)
    #2. Different terrains. Can there please be a few different land options in addition to water!! It gets boring!
    #3. A setting that makes the sun rise and set on a schedule, would be so cute.

    I feel that these few edits could really make the worlds engaging and full of life!! I would so love it if the developers could add them!!!! 💜 thank you!!!

  • Love it

    It took a while before I realise the hidden features of this game. I love the simplicity of it and yet within the easy to learn building options, we can be lost in our own creativity.
    Don’t forget to admire your own creativity. Rushing to build and build is not the ultimate enjoyment. Set time to "smell the roses" is part of the beauty of this game.

    One suggestion:
    It would be beautiful if we get little people walking around.
    Perhaps an added feature where we could insert workers, tourists, residents, etc
    Populating the village with appropriate people would be a great addition. I would gladly pay extra for that.
    Perhaps another paid version of the game (please not in-app purchase). A version with people and another without with separate costs.
    I am happy to beat test it if you are already thinking of it.

  • I really like it

    I love the game and how simple and calming it is. The flow is amazing too. I just have a few suggestions:
    1. I think bridges to connect land. It would be super cute to see a bridge connecting different towns
    2. I’m having trouble with the loading screen and it’s taking a long time. It is quite cute though. I wish it took less time.
    3. I would love to see patches of grass in my town, and a customizing that would make it a lot better.
    4. I want to put fountains and stuff like that in my town. If you added a feature like that it would make the personality of the town better.

    I do love the game though, and it’s glow is amazing.

  • Finally!

    You have no idea, how long I’ve been searching for this game. Previously I had downloaded several other games claiming to have this free range gameplay, however, was disappointed with them all. Now this game is nothing less than superb, there’s no real aim nor purpose but I wouldn’t have it any other way, it encourages your creative side. The fact that where you can place buildings and pavement isn’t linear, really makes it so much more realistic to create your own quaint town which you’d expect to see if you were travelling through Europe. Wouldn’t change a thing about it, but there’s potential to add to it, an idea perhaps to allow to build docks or marinas, and hence have boats and pedestrians, but please don’t ruin the game trying to implement new things as so many other developers have done in the past. The price tag I understand will put many people off, but for such a smooth experience and the beautiful aesthetics and colours, personally I believe it is worth every penny.
