This is a very chill Sandbox "City Builder", No Goals, just build your island as beautifully as you can with the given buildings. When you start the game gives you a 4x4 up to 12x12 block island, and the colors of the Roofs, Water, Grass, and Trees, are randomly picked. Then you are given a random building that you can rotate and place where you choose. After placing you will be given another building, to build a nice little pretty island. The current build is the third version, It includes three styles which are given randomly at the start. More buildings will be added soon. As well as some more visual polish and things to add to its relaxing nature. Current Styles include: - Medieval (castle-type stuff) - Plain (modern-day normal-looking buildings) - Adobe (pueblo architectural style) - Guarda (a style based on the village of Guarda, Switzerland) The Game is solo developed, hopefully, you enjoy it, it's a very simple concept. And this is my first game in actual 3D where I had to use Blender to model the buildings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Hover Dog at Free against Otok's $0.99. Hover Dog also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (19 vs 3). Otok's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#190 vs unranked). On review sentiment, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
