How it feels

A methodical, time-pressured puzzle-like city builder where careful placement and resource management drive incremental progression through small-scale levels.

What players say

Players say this is a cheap, simple city-building puzzle game, but it relies heavily on trial and error with no real tutorial. Many note the same strategy works on every map and some report game-breaking bugs. It is compared unfavorably to Concrete Jungle.
