A calm, meditative city-builder where placing buildings on floating islands feels like composing a peaceful landscape.

What players say
Players say this sequel refines the original with better visuals, new biomes, and a proper campaign, but some find the changes feel more like an expansion than a full sequel. The core loop remains a relaxing puzzle of placing buildings for high scores, though a few reviewers note it grows repetitive after about ten hours.
