### 5/5 — Excellent game!

*2013-03-03, version 1.70*

Well worth the buy!  If you enjoy a challenging puzzle game, this app is certainly for you.

### 3/5 — Very Mediocre

*2013-02-23*

While I applaud the idea, the scoring mechanics are boring and the city doesn't really react much. 

Why not give players a "combo" bonus when clearing multiple lines? It would encourage you to play dangerously, filling the screen, then clearing it all in one giant combo.  Reminds you of other, better puzzle games like Tetris Attack, maybe? Instead, the threshold tends to increase mid-chain, punishing you for trying such a cool move. 

Just not very interesting or compelling, and the city-building theme isn't really supported by the gameplay.

### 5/5 — Addicted

*2013-02-11, version 1.66*

Simple to learn, smooth graphics and operation. Highly addictive! Hard to master.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2013-02-08, version 1.66*

I absolutely love this game, time goes by so quickly with it. Recommended to anyone who enjoys a good challenge!

### 5/5 — Nice idea

*2013-02-07, version 1.66*

Enjoying this little game. Am getting better slowly as I play more.

### 5/5 — sim city love :)

*2013-01-28, version 1.66*

I just gifted this to both of my siblings cause it's great fun and reminds me of our childhood playing sim city. it's a really cool puzzler and you should check it out! 

it plays like a board game like carcassone but with more strategy and immediacy.

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2013-01-26, version 1.66*

One of the best ever! I agree that an undo button would do wonders.

### 5/5 — Great fun!

*2013-01-20, version 1.66*

A lot of fun, gets challenging as you go on.

### 5/5 — Cool logical game for all ages (7+).

*2013-01-19, version 1.66*

Cool logical game! Strongly recommended for activation your brains :))) no technical issues on iPad Mini. Thanks to developers!

### 5/5 — Fun, clever puzzle game!

*2013-01-14, version 1.66*

Very enjoyable for both relaxing and challenging gameplay.

### 5/5 — Fun!!!!👍

*2013-01-11, version 1.66*

This game is very addictive & fun to play. I recommend this game. 😊😄

### 5/5 — Great

*2013-01-09, version 1.66*

Great way to relax and stimulate the little grey cells.

### 5/5 — Simplicity

*2013-01-01, version 1.66*

I the over-analyzing engineer enjoy this as much as my 5 year old.

(I have found that an undo could be useful though)

### 4/5 — 面白そうな気配ではある

*2012-12-31, version 1.66*

ゲーム画面見ると街作るシミュレーションかなと思い安かったので購入。

うん、パズルゲームだこれ。
よく読めば良かった。

住宅とその他の建物で、地価の高い住宅を多く作るといい感じなゲーム。
次に建てられる建物は数手先までは分かるけど、基本的にランダムで運次第。

一つだけできるキープが大事なんだろうな、きっと。

落ちもの系と違って、ゆっくりじっくり考えられるのは良いけど、
運の要素が強すぎるので星1減。

### 5/5 — Solid

*2012-12-26, version 1.66*

Great game to zone out and just play

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2012-12-25, version 1.66*

I like it a lot.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Boring

*2014-12-28, version 1.80*

This game is not worth the money.  It's boring.  The gameplay is the same from start to end, and it's not that interesting to begin with.

### 1/5 — Can't play my own Music in background

*2014-10-06, version 1.80*

No fun playing a game like this without my own music.

### 1/5 — Needless sound interference

*2012-12-14, version 1.65*

This game turns off whatever music is playing on start-up in order to bombard you with its sound. Even if you've turned the sound off previously. This is a puzzle game and sound isn't needed to play; these developers do not respect your user experience.

### 1/5 — Too hard

*2012-08-16, version 1.60*

Way too difficult.   Challenges are impossible.   Not fun.

The tutorial is too small to read even with popops glasses so it is useless.

Any review that says it is funny, well there is nothing funny. Strategy game that has no humor and is way too hard to learn or move on.  

Delete.

### 2/5 — A solid puzzle game, not a sim.

*2012-09-25*

This is not a sim game in any sense of the word but it is a pretty cool puzzle. The idea is to place additive buildings in the grid and then place multiplier buildings in between them to gain points and clear the rows. Kinda like a horizontal Tetris. One hint, when you get a building with red on it, stick it on a edge, the red negative zones don't follow the buildings when they move away from the edge. 

The negatives are that you can't play your own music, a huge deal for me. I don't like some of the in game music. Also the game frequently resets when you leave it. Also the games are short because while the cost to clear each row goes up the points you get does not. Fix these problems and is give it five stars. Lastly I've knocked a star off because it randomly locks up and you have kill it, losing any progress.

### 2/5 — Great concept

*2012-09-13, version 1.60*

I love the gameplay but hate the fact that the game starts over any time you leave the app, including if you get an incoming phone call. You lose all the progress you made over the previous 15 minutes. This makes it unplayable for me.

### 2/5 — Average at very best.

*2012-09-08, version 1.60*

I can't see what the fuss is about. This is NOT the best puzzle game ever why? Simple it's dull and really doesn't challenge you as its all down to what the game gives you to place. If you get the right tiles to put down its to easy and if they are the wrong tiles you soon run into a dead end. You don't feel in control. Thankfully only 69p wasted.

### 2/5 — Bug on level 10?

*2012-08-24, version 1.60*

After achieve level 10, the level bar on the right side will never increase no matter how many time 1 play. 😱👎

### 3/5 — Missing feature

*2015-08-07, version 1.80*

Great concept but not being able to play custom music is annoying given the limited soundtrack.

### 3/5 — Why the change?

*2013-03-02*

I really liked this game before the latest update. I loved the music and the sound effects were solid. It now feels like the developers have attempted to make the game cuter with silly uptempo music and cuter sound effects. If the option is not there now, I'm hoping I can switch back to the old music. Otherwise I'm going with no sound at all. What a drag.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2017-07-06*

Thanks for updating this great game to 64 bit! I'd hate to lose it.

### 5/5 — Great way to get my Concrete Jungle fix when I'm away from my PC!

*2016-06-05*

While MegaCity looks dated compared to the dev's new game, the exceptionally-polished Concrete Jungle that carries the city building, column-clearing motif to new heights, the roots are here.

Well worth 99 cents.

### 5/5 — Стоит взять

*2015-07-19, version 1.80*

Хорошая игра,и подумать можно,и время убить.Своих денег стоит.

### 5/5 — Wonderful puzzle

*2015-05-18, version 1.80*

A great, addictive game with a very cool theme. I keep coming back to this game again every few months!

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2013-11-29*

I like the concept of the game. VERY polished.

The challenge modes are kind of like puzzles, but you don't get to see all your pieces at the start. It relies on multiple tries and memorizing the level to do well, which is unfortunate. Letting me scroll through the upcoming pieces list would be helpful.

Still a five star app though!

### 5/5 — Great puzzle game!

*2013-09-16*

I don't often review but they deserve it. I hope this game does well! Only thing I don't care for is the music. It'd be nice to have a selection or access to the iPod function.

### 5/5 — I've been playing all week!

*2013-06-24, version 1.80*

This is one of the best puzzle games ever on the App Store. It has a fun progression path and doesn't overwhelm you with IAP

### 5/5 — Classic puzzler

*2013-05-08*

Top notch puzzler combines classic elements and ever increasing challenge to keep you coming back for one more round.  The IAP's are in now way intrusive, but there if you want to increase the speed that new elements game elements unlock.

### 5/5 — really a good game

*2013-04-11, version 1.71*

good

### 5/5 — Отличная игра

*2013-04-01, version 1.71*

Не жалею ни рубля - отличная игра для любителей стратегического мышления. Спасибо авторам. Играю третий месяц.
