Brick City is a gentle town-building game for young mayors. Lay a road, paint some land for homes, shops or factories, and the buildings grow all by themselves. There are no timers, no ads you have to watch and no way to lose. The town grows because you built it somewhere good. • Drag roads, homes, shops and factories onto a green baseplate and watch the neighbourhoods fill in. • Keep the lights on: power plants, water towers, a school, a hospital, a police station and a fire station. • Build a park, a lake, a station, an airport and a ferry, and take the wheel to drive a bus, sail a ferry, put out a fire or chase a getaway car. • Found a whole country of towns, link them with motorways and railways, and unlock wind farms, trade ports, a stock market and a space centre. • Take care of the people: they walk the streets, move in to painted houses and tell you how they feel. • A story to uncover over eight chapters, and a Mayor's Guide that teaches as it goes. • Works offline. No account, no sign-in, nothing to type. No adverts. No in-app purchases.
