Start small. Think big. Build a city that feels like yours. Digicity is an isometric city builder for iPhone, iPad and Mac with Apple silicon. Turn a randomly generated 128x128 landscape into connected neighbourhoods, busy industry and a city shaped by your decisions. CHOOSE HOW YOU PLAY Open Build is a free sandbox with every building tool and the whole map. No ads, energy meters or play timers. Saving requires a purchase. Scenario guides a new city through four historical eras, with goals and report cards as it develops. Era purchases unlock Scenario one era at a time; Ultimate includes them all. Everyone can preview 11 established challenge cities. Ultimate is required to start them, including the new recovery challenges The River That Burned and Aftershock. Take over a working city, tackle its problems and follow suggested approaches and live goals. BUILD A CONNECTED CITY Zone homes, shops and industry. Lay roads, tram lines, freight rail, power lines and water pipes. Connect residents to jobs, provide essential services and balance tax income against upkeep. Traffic, pollution, land value and demand shape what grows. BUILD ACROSS THE WATER Add rivers when founding a city. Connect the banks with low or high road bridges, extend local routes with secondary terminals and watch boats travel usable waterways. High bridges leave room for shipping; low bridges can block it. Inspect access and locate known blockages before planning your next crossing. CHOOSE YOUR CITY RULES With Ultimate, choose Standard, Relaxed or Custom rules before founding a Scenario city. Everyone can inspect the conditions. Decide which pressures apply, including pollution, fires and earthquakes. Rules stay fixed for that city. When enabled, river fires, earthquakes and aftershocks create new recovery problems. Review debris clearance costs before rebuilding. UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR CITY NEEDS Use data overlays, tile details and the city overview to explore population, finances, utilities and transport. In Scenario, choose transport priorities and emergency-service funding, compare city figures after policies take effect and pursue optional ambitions. Pause to plan or choose Normal, Fast or Fastest. SAVE AND RECOVER Saving and Ultimate are one-time purchases that include named saves and device-local autosaves. Without saving access, your city is lost if the app closes or the system terminates it. Autosave is on by default and keeps up to three recent recovery versions per city history. Force quitting can lose changes made after the last successful autosave. Ultimate includes saving, all Scenario eras, city rules and all 11 challenge cities. Purchases are not subscriptions and do not expire. Purchasing Saving or Ultimate supports future updates and continued development. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch are available. Digicity follows a supported device language or falls back to English; choose another supported app language in Settings. We use AI for translations from English. They may contain mistakes; share suggestions through Translation feedback in the city menu. Play in landscape on iPhone, build on iPad or use a Mac with Apple silicon. No account or sign-in is required. https://digicitybuilder.app/privacy
Tiny TD
Read full descriptionHide full description
Defend a tiny base as new houses grow and roads cut through your defenses. Build three tower types, adapt your plan, and tackle 75 campaign levels or a fresh daily survival challenge. Tiny TD is a small, calm tower defense with one twist: the map keeps growing. New houses appear mid-run, carving fresh corridors through your defenses. A tower that covered the road a minute ago may be staring at a garden now. Read the change, sell what no longer matters, and rebuild where the enemies will actually walk. THREE TOWERS, TWO UPGRADES • Needle: rapid single-target darts for fast runners. • Bloom: area shells for swarms and shielded tanks. • Frost: slows everything in reach so the others can finish the job. Upgrade twice, or sell for a partial refund and move on. Range is your biggest lever. A CAMPAIGN YOU CAN FINISH 75 hand-tuned levels across three environments. Same map and same assault on every retry, so improvement is skill, not luck. DAILY SURVIVAL One shared seed for everyone, every UTC day. Unlimited attempts. Longest survival wins the day. WEEKLY LEAGUES First clears and improved stars earn points on a weekly board. No grinding, no boosters: replays never farm points. QUIET BY DESIGN No energy meters, no waiting to play, no gameplay purchases. Works offline, with progress saved on your device. Occasional interstitial ads appear between runs; a single optional purchase removes them forever. Leaderboards need no registration or email, just a nickname. Designed for iPhone in portrait and iPad in any orientation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Digicity at none against Tiny TD's shown. Tiny TD's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
