It would be nice to start a new game with it not lose it ### 4/5 — Rocks appear back after demolishing *2026-01-29, version 150.7.0* So while playing the game I’ve noticed I will demolish rocks just for them to appear back days later. Is this a glitch in the game or intentional? Other than that I have no issues. ### 4/5 — Trop cher *2025-10-16* Superbe jeux mais malheureusement les parcelles de terrain sont de plus en plus cher pour faire évoluer les bâtiments c’est cher donc à part attendre et récupérer de l’argent pour acheter un terrain et avoir l’espoir d’un obtenir des pièces d’or sinon il faut acheter .. pas cool et vraiment dommage. Sans parler des immeubles et autre communauté pareil il faut pour certain de l’or donc encore acheter c’est pas possible pour moi . L’évolution de la ville se fait lente du coup et c’est vraiment dommage. ### 3/5 — Way to many videos *2024-12-14, version 150.6.0* I really enjoy the game or I should say I try to enjoy it I spend way to much watching videos instead of playing the game Uninstalled ### 2/5 — 駅に電車が停まらない *2024-10-07* 急に駅に電車が停車しなくなる。面白いが建物の更新もないし、運営のやる気のなさが感じられる。 ### 4/5 — Please fix *2024-03-19, version 150.5.0* Great game would be 5stars but when I watch a ad for a reward it doesn’t give anything ### 4/5 — Read this. *2021-12-20, version 150.1.0* Just 1 problem Santa blocks the view all the time. ### 3/5 — Having trouble *2019-10-31, version 150.1.0* I’ve always loved this game on my Android but I just added it to my iPad and now I can’t remove rocks...can you please fix. ### 4/5 — 面白い *2019-01-20* 面白い！町が作れたりして楽しい ### 5/5 — Badly *2018-12-31, version 150.1.0* It’s a bad shaken earthquake ### 3/5 — Latest update *2018-09-28, version 150.0.8* The latest update has made the graphics horrible ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-03-04, version 150.6.0* App crashes very frequently. ### 1/5 — No in game help *2024-09-11, version 150.6.0* I was enjoying the app for some time now but there’s an issue with the game app pop up suggestions can’t close them when they take up all of the screen I have to close the app and then restart it again to finish what I was doing, and there is no in app help menu or in app email support nor a in app feedback or in app game play suggestions ### 1/5 — Want to give 5 stars *2024-08-23, version 150.5.0* My train station disappeared. After numerous attempts to reach customer service they said I needed to this and that and basically wanted me to pay for another station and compensate me with the station, tbe upgrades and the money it had made. Obviously it’s fake money but it’s the time put into the game and then to have it taken away and be to start all over. I continued contacting customer service and they said they were forwarding to their escalation team. Well that was weeks ago it feels like and nothing has been done. I was doing everything right had my station where it was supposed to be and got out of app when done playing. I really enjoyed this game as it was relaxing. Time to find something similar this game as it doesn’t look like they are going to fix this issue. ### 1/5 — Sehr viele Fehler *2021-02-26* eigentlich schönes Spiel nur leider viele Fehler, die Entwickler stört das aber nicht, sie sehen es sich nicht mal an 😡😡😡 Smileys werden gar nicht angezeigt Videos starten sehr oft gar nicht, erst Neustart des Spiels erforderlich, tlw. gibt es tagelang gar keine zu sehen Damit wird das Spiel sehr langwierig, langweilig und nervig, da man nur über Aufrüstungen ein nächstes Level erreichen und Goldstücke sammeln kann... Eine Kontaktmöglichkeiten gibt es nicht, überarbeitet wurde das Spiel letztmalig 2018, kein Wunder, dass man die Fehler nicht sieht und behebt Sehr schade!!! ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time *2019-11-30, version 150.1.0* I installed this game and played it once. I built a couple of things, however when I try to go back on it never lets me and crashes my whole device. I can only ever play this game ONCE and it’s not fair. It’s really good and graphics are great, but the fact that you can only play once before it crashes up, is quite upsetting. Please fix this ### 1/5 — How do you......... *2018-12-07, version 150.1.0* This game has problems like how do you rotate the roads? How do you remove the rocks? And MORE! ### 1/5 — Can’t get more cash *2018-09-25, version 150.0.7* This game needs daily rewards or something, there is no way to get more cash, once you run out of money there is no way to get anymore so you basically stop playing. It only gives the option to upgrade places but you can’t cash out on them. I’m ready to let this game go. ### 1/5 — Super City *2018-08-09, version 150.0.7* I loved playing this game,invested a lot of money to continue playing, but for the last week or so my game won’t load I’ve tried rebooting it still won’t load so now I guess I’ll have to stop playing and delete the game altogether ### 1/5 — GARBAGE TUTORIAL *2018-07-25, version 150.0.3* THE TUTORIAL TELLS YOU NOTHING ON HOW TO PLAY THE GAME ### 1/5 — Mist *2018-01-07* Nach dem neuen Update nicht mehr zu gebrauchen. Nur noch mit Lupe spielbar... sorry für die Tonne **Developer response:** Hello Raubein, We have resolved the issue in our latest update. We request you to kindly update the app to the latest version and the issue will be resolved.

Il est facile de construire une ville agréable à condition d’être patient! ### 5/5 — 花さんありがとうございました踏切東シナの、、。半田市内ではないかと言っていた笑笑は、、このエレベーターはこちらです今日もたらすです今日もたらす *2025-10-04* すごくすごくすごくすごくすごくすごくすごくすごくすごくすごくすごくすごすごくす ごくすごく楽しいです ### 5/5 — Игра супер *2025-08-17* Классная. Игра я в её залипаю на 2-3 часов 🤩🤩🤩 ### 5/5 — Настальгия *2025-07-14* Игре уже 11 лет!! Но все равно она хороша. Спокойная музыка, городская суета, дома, магазины, красивая местность. Обновления выходят чисто с поправками производительности. Но хотелось бы видеть наверное больше пенхаусов и многоквартирных домов. Так же хотелось бы видеть в игре коммерческие здания по типу Супермаркетов, сетевых магазинов и так далее. Из коммерческих зданий можно добавить казино, автосалоны и так далее. ### 5/5 — Please help my favorite game come on iPhone *2023-06-25, version 150.3.1* I’m on Lv.48 friendcode 10p6j5 username MaMageegee I uploaded my game on iPhone friendcode c-ijjbk Lv.1 thanks in advance ### 5/5 — Классно! *2021-11-29* Очень хорошая игра, но есть одна проблема! Мне придётся будет каждый раз сражаться с шкалой радости, потому что иногда эта шкала начинает потихоньку падать. А так хорошая игра! ### 5/5 — The sims? 😭😭 *2021-11-04, version 150.1.0* So, as you see the title you my think about the game "The sims" and you're right! Well, when I was little my mom and my two aunts used to play The Sims 2 but I would barely understand that game but I still played it, then, we lost the game for some days I can't remember why and I asked my mom if wr could get it on the phone and she said no🙄 but she told me that this game was the sims two and I believed her (I liked the game as well, and I've been looking for this game in a while)⚠️⚠️⚠️AND I KNOW IT ISN'T THE SIMS BTW THIS IS JUST A STORY ABOUT HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE GAME⚠️⚠️⚠️ anyways thank you for reading this mess😳 ### 5/5 — 1+ mit sternchen *2021-09-20* einfach perfek ### 5/5 — Great *2020-05-25, version 150.1.0* It really keeps me occupied on long road trips and it is very enjoyable --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
