How it feels
A simple pixel-art city builder where you can either relax in Zen mode or face a punishing challenge in Hell mode.

What players say
Players describe it as a relaxing puzzle game where you stack buildings, but with a steep learning curve and almost no in-game instructions. Two modes are available: a chill Zen mode and a competitive Hell mode. Some players note that later levels have color visibility problems, and changing the language requires clicking 'Hello' in the credits.
