## What is Concrete Jungle?

A follow up to the puzzle hit 'MegaCity'! Concrete Jungle is a new take on the city building genre that swaps micro-management for a more strategic and puzzle-orientated style of city planning.

You have a deck of selected cards which you can use to place buildings. Each building will affect it's surroundings in different ways. The aim of the game is to clear city blocks by gathering the required number of points from your residents, giving more room to build. As the city grows, bigger and better new buildings can be added to your deck!

As you get opportunities to hone and refine your deck, residents will demand more from you. You'll find yourself inadvertently creating zoning puzzles- playing against your own past planning decisions.

Alternatively engage in competitive city planning against challenging AI or local players. Take it in turns to place buildings in the same city and battle over the affection of your citizens!

* Over 230 cards available and no micro-transactions!
* 8 Playable characters each with their own skill trees, unique cards and play style.
* Hilarious fully voice-acted story mode!
* Competitive city planning featuring challenging AI in 'Versus' mode.
* Local competitive/co-op multiplayer for up to 4 players or AI.
* Gorgeous vibrant, detailed isometric graphics.
* Rich and atmospheric soundtrack.
* Achievements & leaderboards.

iPad or large screen iPhone recommended.
iOS 9 or newer required.

### 4/5 — Great fun game

*2021-11-28, version 1.19*

Great game with tons of replay value and a real challenge at first. Would give 5 stars but there is a bug which is very annoying: occasionally the AI just cheats and places a building on your (blue) land, often one with negative effects for the buildings that were safely within your territory.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-04-29*

It is terrible and won’t let me delete

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2020-01-18*

Not sure what’s happened. Game is unplayable on the iPhone XR now. Game no longer fills screen and menu options remain on screen after dialogue.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2019-10-14*

It’s Simcity meets deckbuilding and tetris.  I am impressed by the layers of strategic depth this game has to offer.  You have 8 unique (and hilarious) characters each with their own tech tree, plus more than 200 cards to choose from, so the combinations are endless.  The AI is also really good and offers a great challenge.  The 3 game modes (solo, versus, and classic) are all ton of fun and require you to think differently.  You can tell the game designers put a lot of thought into this game - I haven’t had this much fun with a puzzler in a long time and this game deserves more attention!

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2019-08-03*

There needs to be a section that better explains how each card works. MegaCity is much better in this respect.
There also needs to be an option to turn off the chatter from the characters.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2019-06-22, version 1.19*

The game is just amazing, I literally loves this one! I wish it was full screen on iPhone X Max!

### 1/5 — Horrible optimization

*2019-06-16*

The optimization for iPhone XS is completely broken, annoying to play because of this.

### 2/5 — Not suitable for mobile

*2019-03-28, version 1.19*

This must be quite a nice PC game for those who play it on that platform, but it’s unfortunately terrible on mobile. I am disappointed that Apple are allowing them to charge a premium for a game which has calls to action like “click on the card” and an interface clearly designed for mouse interaction (tiny buttons with tiny hit areas). Too bad, the gameplay would definitely be enjoyable for people who like clever puzzles. On iPad it works a bit better, but if you are buying it for iPhone, don’t bother.

### 5/5 — FUN, CHALLENGING, ADDICTIVE

*2019-03-20, version 1.19*

Such a great mix of deck building and tile laying, a perfect game that’s hard to put down.

### 5/5 — Игра огонь

*2019-01-24, version 1.19*

Люблю такие игры😍 но давно ничего настолько затягивающего не встречала
