Townscaper

Raw Fury

About this game

Build quaint island towns with curvy streets. Build small hamlets, soaring cathedrals, canal networks, or sky cities on stilts. Block by block.

No goal. No real gameplay. Just plenty of building and plenty of beauty. That's it.

Townscaper is an experimental passion project. More of a toy than a game. Pick colors from the palette, plop down colored blocks of house on the irregular grid, and watch Townscaper's underlying algorithm automatically turn those blocks into cute little houses, arches, stairways, bridges and lush backyards, depending on their configuration.

Ratings and reviews

I really dig this game. Simple, yet you can get lost in it for an extended period of time. It'd be cool if you could add some music in a future update, and maybe add town residents that walk along the streets or do random things around the buildings you create. I only have one complaint, but I'm not sure it is anything you can fix. The camera movement triggers my vertigo from time to time. I understand this is out of your control, but I did want to put that out there for others with vertigo.

The artwork is beautiful and the simplicity of just tapping and building is wonderful. That being said, you are so incredibly limited. You can only use so much of the grid and you can only build so much on your given grid section. Things that would make this game a 5 star game: unlimited building blocks, unlimited grid, selectable grid type (round, square, randomized (the current default)), and a way to see your creation in first person view would be amazing as well.

Very very cute and relaxing. The sounds are very good, and it's a very cozy game. My only complaints are that I wish you could switch between gound types. (Like changing pavements and maybe just laying out plain grass or gardens) and maybe a color wheel for the buildings. I love this game though, worth every penny. The only thing I would want is more colors, and ground types. I love the stone paths, but I want different kinds. I would also really like it if builds were more than stone.
