User reviews

Not really worth the money.

I saw the advertisement for this game but honestly it feels hollow and after like two days i regretted spending anything on it, more features needed to make it worth spending the money..it should be free..

Update please

Iโ€™m not trying to be mean but we need first person back because when I started playing Xbox, your game had first person and we need first person available for iPhone

Cool, I like it,

The game is overall cool, I am addicted to it, I just want some more content, like making the lighthouse light up at night, or adding humans, but overall awesome game, great job.

Love the concept

Been following the development of this game in the past. Got very bored, very quickly, itโ€™s not really game, itโ€™s a building app. Itโ€™s very well done!

This is such a good game

If the developers are reading this can you add Land to the game and different town styles like modern, Hellenic, Arabic, medieval, Chinese and ect

FAQ

What is Townscaper?

Townscaper is an experimental digital toy that allows users to build quaint island towns. It's more of a creative tool than a traditional game, focusing on the joy of building and aesthetic town design.

How do I build towns in Townscaper?

You build towns by ploping down colored blocks on an irregular grid. The app's underlying algorithm then automatically transforms these blocks into various structures like houses, arches, stairways, bridges, and backyards, depending on their placement and configuration.

Is Townscaper free to play?

Townscaper is a paid application. There are no in-app purchases or advertisements within the app, offering a complete experience upon purchase.

What is the goal of Townscaper?

There is no specific goal or gameplay in Townscaper. The app is designed as a toy for creative building and appreciating the beauty of generated towns. The focus is purely on the act of building and the visual outcome.

What kind of structures can I build?

You can build a variety of structures including small hamlets, soaring cathedrals, canal networks, and even sky cities on stilts. The algorithm generates houses, arches, stairways, bridges, and lush backyards based on how you place the colored blocks.
