## What is Q?

From a single road to a metropolis.

Q-City is a classic isometric city-building simulation. Lay roads, zone residential, commercial and industrial land, hook up a power plant and a water tower, and citizens start moving in and building. As jobs, services and the environment improve, low-rise homes grow into dense high-rises, and your city climbs from Outpost to Village, Town, City, Metropolis and beyond.

WHAT YOU GET
- Tile-based isometric city building. Pan with one finger, pinch to zoom
- Residential (R), Commercial (C) and Industrial (I) zones that grow from density 1 to 3 based on demand and surroundings
- A power grid: coal, wind, solar, nuclear and fusion plants. Electricity flows along roads and buildings
- A water network: water towers, pumping stations and treatment plants. Dense growth needs water
- 18 facilities: police, fire station, elementary school, hospital, university, city hall, parks, plaza, stadium and more
- 6 milestones: every population threshold pays a bonus and unlocks new facilities
- Budget and taxes: set residential, commercial and industrial tax rates separately and read the monthly report
- 12 data overlays: power, water, pollution, land value, crime, traffic, growth potential, and fire / police / health / education / leisure coverage
- Day/night cycle: watch the lights come on at dusk
- Disasters: fires, earthquakes, meteors and tornadoes — trigger them yourself if you dare
- An advisor that flags power shortages, rising crime, unemployment and more
- 3 save slots plus monthly autosave, and JSON export/import to back up a city or move it to another device

PLAYS OFFLINE, FULLY FREE
- No account, no sign-in
- No server, and no internet needed to play — on a plane or underground
- No in-app purchases — a rewarded ad plays only when you tap for a grant, relief, a doubled reward, or to unlock ×4 speed, the huge map or 6 save slots, and you are asked once more before it starts. An ad may also appear when you open the app, at most 3 times a day (never while you play)
- Your city saves are stored on this device only

HOW TO START
1. Lay roads first (drag)
2. Zone residential, commercial and industrial land within 2 tiles of a road
3. Build a power plant touching a road or zone
4. Put a water tower near your zones
5. As population grows, add police, fire, schools, hospitals and parks to raise approval and land value

Pick a map size (small to huge), a difficulty (easy, normal, hard) and a terrain seed for a different city every time. Available in English, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

## Key features

- Tile-based isometric city building
- Residential, commercial, and industrial zoning
- Power and water network management
- 18 different facilities

### 5/5 — 再加些东西

*2026-10-04*

感觉还行，如果多加些建筑或是市民评论就更好了

**Developer response:** 感谢您的喜欢和建议。更多建筑和市民评论确实是很多玩家提到的方向，我们已记录并在后续版本的规划中，目前暂无具体时间，请您见谅。

### 4/5 — 很好玩的游戏，但是建筑太少了，希望可以增添一点

*2026-10-02*

这个游戏挺好玩的但是一些特色建筑比较少

**Developer response:** 感谢您的反馈。特色建筑偏少这点我们也收到了不少相同的建议，已列入后续版本的规划，暂时无法给出具体时间。感谢您的支持。

### 5/5 — 好玩，但还不够

*2026-10-02*

这是一款很不错的游戏，轻量化以及少广告、UI这几点能够吸引我，但仍有部分不足
    一、最重要：游戏内容可玩性不高其中主要体现为，游戏整体难度不高，即使选择困难模式，在最开始的时候只要过去，后面跟简单模式没有什么区别，同时导致了这个游戏极度容易玩腻。我可能玩了一两天之后就不想玩了。我觉得可以加入一些更复杂的特殊事件、加入一些成就挑战，或者大胆一些，在保留离线模式下，试着做一些联机的内容，比如经济可能几个人一块儿去运营一个经济体，这样会是游戏的可玩性大幅提高。
    二、其次：部分小组件在操作时比较卡手，比如缩放屏幕，不知道是不是我这里的问题，他总是视角会发生变动，导致每一次缩放都无法到想要的视角，还得去拖动，然后就是有一些大建筑容易点一下就误触放置在某些地方还会。有时显示无法放置，但实际上有空间
    最后希望这款游戏能越做越好，这个游戏里面打破了手游市场上的常规沙盒放置，选择了更自由的化区域的方法，这几天我觉得做得很好，希望大家可以体验一下

**Developer response:** 非常感谢您详细而认真的反馈。您提到的建筑与外观更丰富、缩放时视角偏移、大型建筑容易误触放置等问题，我们都已记录；其中更多建筑已在后续版本的规划中，其余内容会逐项评估，目前不对具体时间作承诺。也谢谢您对轻量、少广告和界面的肯定。

### 5/5 — 建议增加丰富性

*2026-10-01*

可玩性非常不错，美术也很棒。就是游戏周期太短了，到后面基本上就没有什么新东西了。建议如下：
1.水上只能铺路，建议加一点水上建筑（比如说风车可以建海上）
2.没有特殊建筑，建议增加一些地标或雕塑等东西
3.住宅、商业和工业外观看久了有些单调，建议增加更多更鲜明的建筑模型
4.小型地图发展不到大都会地图就不够用了，可以把后面的东西取消掉
5.欣赏自己的杰作时UI有点杂乱，可以增加一个全屏模式
6.耗电量有点大，玩久了也有点卡，建议增加一个开关粒子效果的功能，或者使用其他解决方法
7.双指缩放时定位不准确，可以解决一下
8.道路是3D的，但车是俯视图，建议改一下贴图
9.公共建筑会被火烧掉，建议加一个自动修复功能，不然看不过来
10.太平坦了，可以增加一些地形或者高建筑
11.建筑放下去就不能移动了，想移动必须拆掉，建议增加一个移动功能
12增加更多建筑！！！
最后祝游戏越来越好

**Developer response:** 非常感谢您详细的建议和五星好评！您提到的内容，包括水上建筑、地标与雕塑、更多样的建筑外观、地图规模等，我们都已逐条记录。目前这些功能尚未加入，我们会参考玩家的反馈慢慢考虑，感谢您的支持。

### 5/5 — 挺好

*2026-10-01*

火灾不要那么频繁，可以添加道路的变种，比如立交桥或者什么之类的，还有增加堵车机制，希望这款游戏能变得越来越好！

**Developer response:** 谢谢您的好评和建议！关于火灾频率、立交桥等道路类型以及堵车机制的想法，我们都已记录。这些目前尚未实现，感谢您一直陪伴这款游戏。

### 5/5 — 值得推荐

*2026-09-30*

相当值得推荐的游戏。界面干净，画风整洁。要是可以多加两个存档槽位就太好了

**Developer response:** 感谢您的推荐！增加存档槽位的建议我们已记录，目前尚未加入。祝您玩得开心。

### 5/5 — 一些建议

*2026-09-30*

这款游戏很好玩，连续玩了几天十分喜欢，提几个建议希望这个游戏更好。
1、火灾太频繁，消防站旁也时常起火；2、地图种子能不能出个预览，或者可以玩家自行创建地图；3、地图面积再增加更大的，现有的最大地图两个小时就已经建满了；4、将居民满意度或者城市建设关联收入。
希望越来越好

**Developer response:** 谢谢您连续游玩并提出这么具体的建议！火灾太频繁（包括消防站旁起火）、地图种子预览或自定义地图、更大的地图，以及把居民满意度与收入关联，我们都已记录。这些目前尚未修改或加入，感谢您的支持。

### 1/5 — 《水会燃烧》

*2026-09-30*

《消防站被大火毁灭了》《水塔被大火毁灭了》

**Developer response:** 感谢您的反馈，也抱歉给您带来不愉快的体验。消防站和水塔被大火烧毁的情况，我们已经记录下来，会作为参考。目前这一点尚未调整，我们不想给您做出无法保证的承诺，但您的意见对我们很有价值。

### 5/5 — 不错的游戏

*2026-09-27*

给点建议：1、建筑贴图可以多一点，增加丰富度；2、地铁站相关可以增加自己规划地铁线路的功能；3、可以从城外引入铁路系统，增加火车站；4，增加道路升级功能，比如二车道拓宽到四车道，六车道，高架等；5、城市功能设施比如消防站、警局等可以多设一些大小。祝游戏越来越好

**Developer response:** 感谢您的支持和建议！根据很多玩家的反馈，我们已经把地铁、铁路和火车站等交通设施，以及更丰富的建筑外观，列入后续版本的开发计划。道路升级（多车道、高架）和消防站、警局的不同规模也已记录，会继续评估。祝您玩得开心！

### 5/5 — 关于进一步加强游戏细节和功能性的建议

*2026-09-27*

尊敬的开发者： 游戏整体的水平与可玩性是非常突出的，但在一些细节方面还存在一些不足或缺乏必要的指引对此，提出以下几点建议及问题，望听取。 一、火灾精准定位难。在地图层面，火灾消防和社会治安的不几大图层都出现多个范围多次重复覆盖并有颜色分化，浅深颜色与范围圈杂糅，且地图仅有唯一角度，精准定位未覆盖区域与事故区域难度大大提升。对于地图层面，建议增加上、东、北、西四大角度（假设目前角度为南）。在提示层面，由于地图上查看难度大大增加，提示方面仅提示出现火灾与检查覆盖范围，并无具体的火灾地点与范围覆盖不足地区的相关提示，增加了寻找火灾问题地点的难度。 二、精确定位被烧毁建筑难。在地图层面，目前仅有一个角度，高层建筑易遮挡低矮废墟，建议在废墟上空增加提示或采用上文提及增加东、北、西四大角度（假设目前为南）。三、增设"区级行政区"层级。建议在现有"市级行政区"之下，增设"区级行政区"层级。即玩家在建设过程中，可将城市划分为若干区（如核心区、滨水区、公益配套区等），各区具备独立的行政属性与数据面板，而非仅停留在全市整体的笼统统计。在目前情况下，当前游戏仅提供市级一层行政管理，所有指标（满意度、失业率、犯罪数量、医疗及教育覆盖率等）均混合呈现，玩家难以对不同发展阶段、不同功能板块进行差异化管理与精细化调控。
以梯队式渐进发展为例：玩家希望先集中资源建成核心区、形成稳定盈余后，再循序带动后续新区。但受限于缺乏区级层级，新旧城区数据混杂、管理边界模糊，导致早期易被迫全图铺开，容错率低、经济易崩盘。
增设区级行政区，可使城市建设具备清晰的层级结构与渐进扩展能力，既更符合真实城市的行政治理逻辑，也能显著提升中、大地图的可控性与可玩性。

**Developer response:** 感谢您如此详细的建议！您提到的火灾和废墟难以定位的问题，我们正在开发改进：地图可以在四个方向之间旋转，挡住火灾地点的高楼会变成半透明，火灾和废墟上方会显示不被遮挡的标记，提示里也会加入“前往”按钮直接跳到事故地点；覆盖范围图层也会改为清楚标出未被覆盖的建筑。这些改进计划在下一次更新中推出。“区级行政区”的建议我们已经记录，会继续评估。谢谢您！

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.6 — 2026-10-14

We adjusted fire balance.

• Powered fire stations and water towers no longer catch fire (they can again during a blackout)
• Fires start less often and spread less inside fire station coverage
• Fixed English text being cut off at large text sizes

### 1.1.5 — 2026-09-30

An ad may now appear when you open the app.

• An ad may show when you open the app, or when you come back after more than 30 seconds in another app
• At most 3 times a day, and never again within 4 hours of the last one
• It never appears while you play. It also does not appear on the day you install, during the tutorial, while saving, or right after another ad
• Right after you close the ad, taps are ignored for a moment so you don't build something by accident
• Time in your city stops while the ad is on screen
• There are still no in-app purchases

### 1.1.4 — 2026-09-30

You can now unlock new features by watching an ad. Ads play only when you choose to tap for one.

• Watch 1 ad to use ×4 speed for 30 minutes
• Watch 3 ads to keep the 128×128 huge map on this device
• Watch 1 ad to get 6 save slots on this device
• When you reach a goal or your city grows, watch an ad to get the reward once more. The normal reward stays the same
• To prevent accidental taps, you are asked once more before an ad starts
• Without watching ads, or where ads are not available, the game is the same as before

### 1.1.3 — 2026-09-29

· You can now rotate the map in four directions. Tap the compass next to the minimap to switch between south, east, north and west views; the last view is remembered.
· Fires and burned-out ruins get markers that are never hidden by buildings, and tall buildings in front of them turn see-through.
· Fire alerts now have a Go button that moves the view to the fire. You can also go there from the alerts list and the advisor.
· A button above the minimap takes you to each fire, ruin or uncovered building in turn.
· Coverage views for fire, police, health, education, parks and transit are redrawn: no more stacked circles — covered ground is one colour and uncovered buildings get a red roof.
· Fixed the camera not letting you bring the southern edge of the map to the centre of the screen.
· Fixed roads appearing to break where they climb a hill — they now connect with a ramp.
· Added a small shelf at the bottom of the menu, goals and achievements screens showing our Go apps.
· Fixed the version number shown in the menu, which did not match the installed version.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-09-26

Get funds right when you need them.

• When you run out of money mid-build, the warning now offers a Grant button
• Right after a disaster, tap Claim relief to receive rebuilding funds
• Ads play only when you tap one of these buttons yourself, and you can keep playing exactly as before without them
• Fixed notices and tool names getting cut off with large text sizes
