### 5/5 — 还需要改进

*2024-03-12, version 1.4.7*

游戏是个好游戏，但是撤回道具给得太慢了，而且不能累计，这一点很不人道！

### 5/5 — almost perfect

*2022-09-15*

would love an option to display a picture list of all unlocked city tiles (while in game, like on the side) to remember which ones come next. there are one or two that aren't completely obvious and this would help me plan moves better. ALSO would love an option to remove ads

### 1/5 — 1 Star for NO Landscape View Option!

*2022-08-03*

I absolutely despise games that don’t allow for switching to landscape view on the iPad. Like MANY iPad users, I have mine mounted on a keyboard stand so I use it in permanent landscape mode. It’s HIGHLY short sighted to think that users are only holding their tablets in portrait view. Won’t even try the game if I have to turn my head sideways or remove my iPad from the keyboard mount! Ugh!!

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2022-04-05, version 1.4.7*

This game is very fun and interesting!

### 5/5 — Beautiful and clever version of 2048

*2021-11-08, version 1.4.7*

I loved 2048 when it came out but always felt the visuals a bit bland. But this dev has implemented it into a city-building theme, which goes absolutely perfectly, and with beautiful art and city-sounds too. Even though it’s a few years old, it still holds up incredibly well today.

A few things I’d love to see get an update:

1) The clouds are probably the biggest frustration. They look nice but they’re too opaque, so you can’t quite see what building is underneath and have to wait for it to pass.
2) There doesn’t seem to be any in-app purchase to remove ads and support the developer. Please add this — I’d happily pay!
3) Pinch to zoom functionality is sorely missing. I want to admire the buildings up close so keep going to pinch the screen out of habit, except the game detects my pinch as a swipe and registers an incorrect move.
4) The double arrow icon along the bottom menu looks too much like a ‘rotate’ button. Users would usually associate a single circular back arrow as a restart button.
5) A small request, but would be nice if it was easier to tell what a tile was worth. You can count the buildings but it’s difficult when a set of houses turns into a mansion. Although perhaps I just need to inspect closer — maybe if I count all the windows of the house or trees or something it will indicate the level?

Either way, the nicest version of 2048 I’ve played. Will be playing it a lot I’m sure!

### 5/5 — Great game but you should add more levels

*2021-07-07*

When i first downloaded this, i reached level 19 in two hours. You should add levels maybe up to 30-40. Also, instead of just normal and destroyed theme, you should also add more past level 19 (like maybe futuristic theme)

### 5/5 — Great little game

*2021-04-25*

Great game, but will there be more levels? like to level 30 or 50?

### 1/5 — Ерунда какая то…

*2020-09-15*

Это не градостраительный симулятор как я предполагал, а какая то аркада где просто нужно двигать клеточки. Бред вообщем. Это даже не игра. Ещё и не на русском. Заслуженная одна звезда из пяти. Более глупой игры не встречал.

### 5/5 — i love it so much

*2020-08-15*

very calming and easy to use. i always play it whenever i have anxiety. such a great app

### 4/5 — Хорошо!

*2020-07-10*

Игра работает очень быстро и плавно.

Но возможность полностью убрать рекламу была бы не лишней.
