Great game

I’ve been playing for a while and got to 14M pop, I’m level 260, and I have 20k gold and 20B coins, but, something very heartbreaking happened today, I went in my city, looked at my rank(which used to be something like 180), and it said, “you are outside the top 500”. I was very shocked, the first thing I did was go into my ratings thing, and this mean scammer guy who you should ban I bet he did it to lots of people who’s city was called “New Corinth” and rated me 3 stars, look I don’t know how to prove it but, first of all, I know it says very good but I also know it’s just to make people not feel bad, he probably did three stars to not look suspicious, but yeah, and my other rating was 4 stars, by Grahamville which I would certainly agree with, because I will admit, it’s not perfect. But I think three stars it way to low, I think I deserve four stars, but, I don’t know how to prove it to you dev but my city is goated, and I really think you should ban this man, he needs to stop bullying people. Remember, his name is new Corinth. But, moving on to my suggestions, I think you should add a feature, where, if you move with one finger, you move the camera, two, that’s zooming, but three…, that’s changing the pov, because I feel like the city’s view has always been an angle, but whatever, also it would be cool if you could make aka discover and settle on other planets and countries, so, the mechanic would work like this, you can make multiple city’s in a AI generated country region, but, if that’s not enough, then you can find a planet that hasn’t already been settled on, and settle on it, and there should be a new feature called “materials” so basically to do stuff you have to build factory’s and mine and maybe to get gas you could extract it from the air. And then you can build stuff like buildings, you would obviously start with a factory, and you will need money TOO, but you could build anything, like atmosphere producers, or gardens, or even build space lasers to terraform the planet, I know this will probably never happen, but I have some hope this will, I would love it more than anything if you could make your own buildings. It would be really cool to see a custom building. But yeah that’s really all I had to say, plz respond dev, and, goodbye. -ACU

Love the new update

Love the new update.
The surrounding area of the city is now blue which has inspired me to a complete overhaul and redesign my city as an island.
Please can I ask a question to the creators. When I tap on buildings the now highlight an area around the building either red or green. What’s this mean please

Designer city review

I can’t start with how peak this game is in a world full of micro transactions, ads every second, and clutter the designer city developers really go to show that quality is better than quantity. I’ve never seen a more beautiful polished and thoughtful city designer game. Compared to slop like Simcity Designer city is made with actual thought for players not for drooling toddlers who have their moms credit card. This game has legit no forced ads (at least from what I’ve seen) the micro transactions aren’t stuff that helps you progress too much it’s just stuff you can already earn and beautiful graphics for completely free app. Genuinely a game that’s severely underrated. A 4.9 star rating for a game with 8.1k reviews shows that this is truly the best mobile city designer game to ever touch the App Store.
