What players say

Players describe River Towns as a Tetris-like puzzle where you place buildings to match colors and shapes on a board. Many call it relaxing yet challenging, but some find the random tile draws frustrating and the game too simple. A few report crashes and audio bugs, and players wish for an undo button.
