So cute!

I’ve played all of the other designer city games and loved them all. This is no exception! The under water city is super adorable, I love that you can watch ads to get things but no forced ads! Overall great game!

Can’t get past tutorial

No, it’s not wrong. It gets stuck in the tutorial and will not let you click anything to move forward. The FAQ/Help page is preloaded without a contact link. I tried.
I play other games by you and they work fine. This one gets stuck and needs to be fixed instead of being told I’m wrong.
In the tutorial when you get to add transportation, it won’t let you tap anything to move forward. The only button that works is “view tunnels” so you can’t do anything. Support is just genetic answers and no way to report a bug. (As in there is no link to get help if the issues are not covered under the generic FAQ and there should be one)
So no, it’s not wrong, this is not playable. It needs to be fixed. Developers should look into it instead of saying I’m wrong. Clearly a customer has an issue and that was a horrible response.

Response from developer

We’ve reviewed your comment carefully, and unfortunately, much of it is inaccurate. The tutorial step in question clearly states “add a road,” and only that button is enabled. Once tapped, either confirm or cancel will progress the tutorial. There is no “view tunnels” button at that point, nor is there any way to get stuck. The tutorial is also skippable at any time (the link is bottom left of the screen). You also mentioned there’s no way to contact us—we’re not sure how that conclusion was reached, as the support button is always available in the in-game settings menu. We respond to every message individually; nothing is automated or generic. We’re happy to assist any player with a real issue, but posting a 1-star review based on incorrect assumptions, refusing to use the support channels, and accusing us of giving a “horrible” response when none was received, is not helpful to anyone—least of all other players reading these reviews. If you’re still stuck or need help, we’re always here. But claiming the game is “not playable” because you didn’t tap the one highlighted button isn’t an accurate reflection of the experience. If you would like help with this, please send an email, including screenshots of the issue you are having and we will be happy to help. If for some reason you cannot send an email from the game, our email address is support@spheregamestudios.com

Don’t download this game you can’t save your data

My mom accidentally deleted the app and I went and I forgot to download it so a year went by. I re-downloaded it just today and now all my data is lost. Do not recommend using this game

Response from developer

You stopped playing for over a year and left a 1-star because your mom deleted the app? Progress is saved online, but like most games, we can’t store inactive data forever. It’s disappointing to be blamed for something entirely avoidable. Please rate based on the actual game experience

Can’t get past tutorial

There’s no contact ability for tech support. In the tutorial when you get to add transportation, it won’t let you tap anything to move forward. The only button that works is “view tunnels” so you can’t do anything. Support is just genetic answers and no way to report a bug. So this is not playable.

Response from developer

You can contact support anytime—just go to the settings and tap the support button. We respond to every message personally, not with generic answers. As for the tutorial: it clearly says "add a road" and only enables that button. It’s designed to be foolproof, and can even be skipped.

Nice

Waiting for new content update

Why

It is really fun but is it hard to play on phone

Totally amazing

Best creative City Build game ever! I love that the buildings don’t have to be near roads so the roads become part of the design as you can put them where you want. Plus no grind to find the materials to build with. Absolutely love it!

Brand new look is terrible!

Brand new look is very bright. Previous was perfect. Now it’s looks not like under water.

My favorite game ever

Not exaggerating, this is gorgeous!
Really relaxing and enjoyable to play. I’m officially obsessed!!

Building names

PLEASE name buildings. I’m almost ready to quit this game as I have no idea what I’m building.

Response from developer

You are free to name the buildings, however you want, to match your city design.

Design city acquatic

Have all the city designs and really enjoy them. No pressure in purchasing diamonds and money because you make it easy to obtain funds not like a lot of the other games. The graphics are so real. I realiy enjoy the games thank you.

Designer City Games—The best!

This is another great designer game. You don’t have to spend money! You can spend hours designing and re-designing your perfect city. Or you can re-set your game and start over. No ads. Recently they offered a nice set of buildings for a set amount.
One complaint. The ground covering is tan or blue. The colors are too light for me to see them.
Otherwise I love designer city games and look forward to the future city.

Beautiful and relaxing

I play all their games which are all excellent. This one is my favorite. Creating a beautiful underwater city is so enjoyable and relaxing. Watching the fish swim around the coral reefs and stunning architecture leaving behind tiny bubbles is so relaxing. Love how buildings do not require roads which really allows you imagination to flow to build your city.

🥰 love it

Can’t stop playing game also can exstan gold for silver

Cool

Good game

I really want to love this game but there’s a downside that’s a deal breaker!

I love the concept of this game and that it's free! I play Designer City 2 and have built my city twice. Now that I finished the 2nd time I decided to try Aquatic City as I love the buildings! But, it takes FOREVER to get enough money to build or upgrade anything. It takes so long that I might be lucky enough to upgrade a utility once every other day. That makes the game zero fun. And, if you want to earn extra gold you have to deal with ads! I would give this game a 5 if it weren't for these two issues. Designer City 2 is definitely the better of the 2 games because you can build every day and not sit for days waiting for enough money to upgrade just 1 item. I sure hope they fix this soon as it's a definite deal breaker!

Response from developer

We've listened to player feedback and have just updated the game substantially reducing the building costs. We don't recommend upgrading until you are quite advanced in the game.

Building titles

I really really was looking forward to this until there is no billing titles like gas station, towers, supermarket, you get the just did that change

Response from developer

We are unsure why you rated the game 1 star? Unlike our more traditional (real life) games, this one is more abstract - as it is set underwater. We added the ability for players to rename the buildings to whatever names they like as this allows players to be more expressive. Other players have been very creative with building names so far.

Hapiness crash

When this last update went through the happiness of the city crashed.My city went from a hapiness of 114 down to 69. Can you fix this please. I have complaints otherwise

Response from developer

We are unsure why this happened to a few players. We've released a patch that should fix this issue you are experiencing.
