Calming and Pleasant to Look at
I could play this game for hours. It’s calming and has a wonderful art style and it’s just so peaceful and relaxing to build these little weird towns.
However, I wish there were options to turn music on and off and to have it go on repeat. I also wish maps could be bigger and you could choose what type of landscape to start on (you always start in water/the ocean). The game also really starts to limit you the more you build, like after a certain point I couldn’t build but six blocks up (it goes WAY higher early in). There’s also no tutorial and no “recipe” book.Show lessATasteyReview
This game melts away your stress
I got this games out of pure boredom thinking it was just another building game. I was wrong. I’ve been playing it for hours now and it just brings such peace of mind. Although the movement could use a bit of work this game is fantastic. Also it would be super cool or you could put your builds into an A.R tripe of thing. So you can see your builds in the real world and you can take a closer look just through the camera of your device. Love it!Show lessdavidnistor
Great “Game”
For what it is, it’s wonderful. You can’t really consider it a game, since there are no objectives, no levels or anything, you just build a little city/town. It’s quite marvelous to look at, and really satisfying to build.
The only thing I can think of to change or add would be a picture mode, where you can capture beautiful scenes of your creation.
Other than that, well worth the money, I’ve spent hours and hours enjoying it.Show lessMatRod2020
Zen city!
One review said it was a simplified sim city, I call it Zen city! It’s easy and relaxing, with no municipal troubles to worry about! It’s basically tap and play. Create beautiful cities or towns, and then start building up to make towers or tiered levels! One of the most fun and relaxing games I’ve ever played!
If I may add a bit of constructive criticism, I feel the game would benefit from a few things:
Color change option: if we could repaint the buildings after they’ve been built that would be awesome(also maybe a few new wall textures), maybe a color wheel or custom colors.
Drag and build/fill in feature: tapping to add each individual segment can be a bit straining on the hand, if we could draw an outline or drag to build multiple segments at once would be amazing! Also the ability to build new segments under existing overhangs would help a lot!
Layer control: I tend to build tall towns, but sometimes they get in the way of my view when adding more buildings(especially when most of the grid is full). It would be nice to turn off the layers to maneuver the camera a bit.
Overall, this game is amazing! The developers really did a fantastic job in creating this game!Show lessDespicable hero
The Calm of Creativity
I've been a fan of Townscaper since I found it on Steam. I loved Bad North too. When I learned Townscaper had been added to the app store I did not hesitate to buy it and I would do it again. This is the perfect app to play when you are bored or stressed or if you just need to kill some time. There's no strategy needed, no additional in-app purchases, no adds, and no bugs (that I've found at least), just the simple fun of creating with little-to-no effort.
Townscaper is closer to art-making than game-playing, and if you're like me and you enjoy just getting lost in building and creating worlds then this "game" is for you.
I can't recommend this app more.
I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

The time just passes by
This is a great exercise in mindfulness. You can just potter about experimenting with different building techniques and create fantastical townscapes.
It’s so easy to play just tap where you want to build and away you go.
Top tip is to keep the configure screen visible as it allows quick access to the undo button.
If the developers are reading then here is the want list.
1. Allow the in game music to be turned off. Or even better allow a playlist of your own music to be played.
2. Bigger townscapes please.
3. Some kind of selective delete to allow redesign without having to press the undo button a hundred times.
4. A mini toolbar with the undo button on it. The configure screen allows access to the undo button but takes up too much screen real estate.
Well done to the developers this is definitely a five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ game!Show lessBlargo24x7
What a delight!
This is an exquisite gem - delight abounds at every turn with surprises too as it seems more feature become available the more you play with it. Attention to detail in sound, light, water and the whole process makes me smile so much. No instructions to remember, just pick it up as you go and let your imagination and design ability wander where it will. Can’t wait to see if other small treasures get added in time.Show lessKiltedGreen
Good, but needs work to be the computer masterpiece
I bought this game on my computer and loved it, and when I heard from a friend it was on IoS I immediately bought it. I played the game for short periods of time a day until I had built to the limits of the grid. You can imagine my surprise when I saw you couldn’t build half a grid size from the computer edition. I then tried to build upwards more, but I found the the build limit was equally limited. Then very frustrated I just played it on the computer, and all is well. So please, devs, change the build limits; I love this game, but in a game based on no limits, I am disappointed that at this time building is limited.Show lessSpectral_Actual
Amazing game with limitless potential.
I adore this game. I have been playing it for a week and already logged a dozen hours. It has such simple and relaxing gameplay and a brilliant concept. It’s an absolute joy to see the Townscapes expand and transform as you build them block by block.
As I exhaust the the dimensions of the game I imagine what a potential sequel might include…
I couldn’t help but imagine building towns on a mountain or having the ability to terraform in a similar manner. Also, more inhabitants, the birds are such lively touch it would be cool to see other forms of life. Culture too, I kept imagining flags or iconography adorning the spires of the tall towers I’d construct.
Overall, I am blown away with the quality of this game. Bravo!Show lessJoshua Thorne
Great Stressless Creative Outlet
I love the design and controls. Color choices for the buildings are complementary and the building design is intuitive.
The details are always fun to discover, like how details change when some buildings are closer together or bridge together. The little flags, birds, binoculars, trees, etc are my favorite part and would loveee to see more.
I do wish there were more options such as putting in nature field options like grass or sand/beach blocks that work the same as the buildings. Also maybe changing building colors by tapping instead of rebuilding and different roof or a few building types. Or even different climate type maps to choose from at the beginning.
Overall, finding this to be a great way to feel active is passing times and to have an outlet for my interest in town design and community infrastructure. As any free field game, so many options and directions you can go for and made simple yet intricate.
