### 3/5 — Cool

*2026-08-16, version 1.04*

Please add people, shops, schools etc. But good 😊

### 2/5 — Not really worth the money.

*2026-08-02, version 1.04*

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..

### 3/5 — Love the concept

*2026-06-29, version 1.04*

Been following the development of this game in the past. Got very bored, very quickly, it’s not really game, it’s a building app. It’s very well done!

### 3/5 — Falta atualização

*2026-05-24*

o jogo é muito bom, mas parece que os desenvolvedores abandonaram o jogo, não tem atualização a mais de 2 anos

### 4/5 — Just need a lil

*2026-05-18, version 1.04*

If you guys can add people walking around or things to do with the houses I really love this game I feel like it’s missing something but that my opinion thanks you for the Game

### 3/5 — Expensive for Amount of Gameplay

*2026-05-09, version 1.04*

Look, the developer is mostly correct in their description. But for what you do get, it’s very very expensive. There’s very little customization aside from colour and the grid is very wonky with no option to turn that off. Colours are unrealistic and limiting for those who like realism, and I regret this purchase immediately

### 4/5 — Quiet Creative Playtime

*2026-04-08, version 1.04*

I love this app. It’s creative and soothing. It’s the perfect antidote to a long, stressful day. I’m surprised by how often I find myself playing it.
I’m not sure if there are plans to develop this game further, but just in case, here’s my wishlist:
	1.	I’d love to be able to walk down the street and experience the alleys, edges, and squares.
	2.	It would be great to have more explicit building types to choose from — stores, schools, homes, religious buildings, and so on.
	3.	It would be amazing if people and horse & buggies auto-populated the town the way the birds do now.
	4.	I’d also love the ability to create patches of trees or land.  

Thank you for making this app.

### 4/5 — 本当に希望です

*2026-03-29*

とても楽しく遊ばせていただいています。ただ、長く遊びたいので作った町に住みたい気持ちがあります。
・変わる天気
・住民として歩くモード
・できれば他の住民の生活
この機能が追加されたら本当に嬉しいです

### 3/5 — Cool but…

*2026-02-10, version 1.04*

I feel like the people making this game should listen to us a bit more. It’s great but super simplistic, which is really nice actually, but I think you could do a hit better. Like someone said different architecture styles which I think would be cool, I think you should also be able to specifically put down grass or bushes and trees, and maybe have different types of houses, like some are shops and such

### 5/5 — Love this game! Have some fun ideas too!

*2026-02-09, version 1.04*

This game was something I saw on instagram and thought “why not?”, turns out this game is highly addictive and turns hours of Boredom into hours of fun. The ideas I have are allowing there to be people walking around the cities and going into buildings. It’d be really fun to see how the people react to new buildings, weather, and other things! I’d also like to see boats going through the water systems and some fishermen on the boats too!

### 5/5 — Uma incrível descoberta

*2026-02-03*

Impressionante a capacidade de relaxamento que esse jogo tem.

### 5/5 — Darker colors

*2026-01-22, version 1.04*

Can you please add black colored brick

### 4/5 — Relaxing

*2026-01-21, version 1.04*

This is a calm app just to past by time, but I feel like there is so much that could be added  music or different themes or even like little npc’s roaming around…

### 5/5 — Love this

*2026-01-20, version 1.04*

Absolutely wonderful game. Needs some upgrades, though. Needs new options.

### 5/5 — Good buy

*2025-12-31, version 1.04*

I’m very pleased with this app, works as advertised. Very smooth operation and good graphics. I highly recommend this after I’ve used it for a week on iPhone 15 PM, good relaxing doodling with no competition factors.

### 5/5 — Wow so cute!

*2025-12-24, version 1.04*

Very fun I bought both the iPad and PC versions.  It's a brilliant and inspired game.  It would be cool if,  as you build it,  citizens start popping up,  launching cute boats,  setting up food carts,  taking pets for a walk,  playing hopscotch....  You get the picture.... Then if you could jump into one of those characters and walk around,  exploring the town. The only problem is,  how could I give you more stars?

### 4/5 — Good game

*2025-12-21, version 1.04*

It awesome but it’s kind of hard to delete buildings and land it would also be nice if there was more kinds of buildings
NEED BOATS!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy! it’s the same thing as the demo!

*2026-05-21, version 1.04*

I paid 3 dollars expecting to be able to make the city as big as I wanted to, but nope, it still limits me, and all of the features in the game I was able to use in the demo. It’s fun but it’s too limiting to be worth the three dollars I wasted!

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-04-01, version 1.04*

Good at the start, but you’ll regret spending your money on it after a little while. Same thing over and over

### 1/5 — Incomplete,

*2026-02-10, version 1.04*

I had high hopes for Townscaper and I love the mechanics of it…but it’s boring and repetitive. 

I’m not sure what purpose it’s supposed to serve and it feels more like a demo than a game you actually paid for. There’s only so much you can do with the same couple of shapes, colors, and builds to repurpose. 

What I love about building games it leaves your mind open to imagination, to create a world from starch and tell a story from it. I touched it a couple times before logging off because, what else can you do if it gives you nothing? 

I wish it would get an update since, I played several of the games from this studio and seem to run into the same problems relating to the issues I have with this game and I hope that changes since they’re filled with so much unfinished potential.

### 1/5 — Pretty but shallow, boring, not worth $

*2025-07-03, version 1.04*

See title

### 1/5 — Absolutely

*2025-06-22, version 1.04*

Terrible

### 1/5 — อัปเดต

*2025-05-18, version 1.04*

อัปเดตหน่อยค่ะ

### 1/5 — 100えんまでかな

*2025-02-28*

ちょっと試すには高い

### 1/5 — Relaxing but too expensive

*2025-01-22, version 1.04*

This game is basically 5 dollars for nothing. The game is relaxing a bit but you can’t customize your town. Clicking just allows you to 1. Place paths and 2. Place houses now depending on where you place the blocks it can vary the town create balconies and hang laundry or creat arches but it’s out of your control. It does what it wants to do. I think it’s a really fun game. If I knew more about it I’d say it’s worth 2 dollars and I paid 5. I’m disappointed that’s all.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2025-01-21, version 1.04*

Map irrevocably zooms in very close every 5 taps, requires force restart. Fix or refund.

### 1/5 — Is this a game?

*2025-01-10, version 1.04*

The reviews and “game” category influenced me to purchase. Beautiful graphics, but not really a game. Just blindly clicking to stack up houses. 🤷‍♂️

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2026-08-16, version 1.04*

I have been coming back to this game. It is super fun and worth the money.

### 5/5 — What’s next?

*2026-08-14, version 1.04*

As much as I appreciate this game, I can’t help but feel I’m holding on to it hoping for an update. There’s so much potential nowadays. Even the slightest addition to the game can be effective. Can we have little people come in and out of buildings or something? Can we building on plains or hillsides? Something. Wanting to let go, but not wanting to. But I can’t play it anymore because it’s not having the same effect as it did 4 years ago.

### 5/5 — Update please

*2026-07-16, version 1.04*

I’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

### 5/5 — Cool, I like it,

*2026-07-13, version 1.04*

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.

### 5/5 — This is such a good game

*2026-06-09, version 1.04*

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

### 5/5 — Recommendations

*2026-03-25, version 1.04*

I bought the game and honestly it’s really fun and easy to learn. The only thing that I would personally add would be different types of materials for the buildings not just the different colours and maybe adding citizens that roam the streets and enter the houses  and sit on benches to make the city more vibrant. The game itself is good but the atmosphere seems a little boring and I guess bland if you get what im saying. I don’t know how big your team of developers are but maybe adding some sort of multiplayer town that I can build with friends? Just an idea. 10 out of 10 game tho.

### 5/5 — Pure creation!

*2026-03-25, version 1.04*

It’s like adult Legos! And SO relaxing!!

### 5/5 — Very relaxing

*2026-03-07, version 1.04*

This game is amazing and perfect if you want to wind down and relax. It’s incredibly satisfying to use and very simple controls. Have fun experimenting and enjoying this masterpiece!

### 5/5 — Amazing game!

*2026-03-02, version 1.04*

Love the game the idea of building my own utopia in multiple ways i can imagine is wonderful love the pigeons would be amazing seeing little people walking around!

### 5/5 — Lovely game

*2026-02-21, version 1.04*

Very calming and delightful to play
