Press reviews: “Perfect game to just relax and have a little fun with.” N/A – Goldie - Steam User “If you've played the first game, this one is more of the same (In wonderful way). It feels like a proper follow-up game, and I'm excited to see the devs adding more already! If you HAVEN'T played the first game, this is a charming little 'puzzle' city builder game. It's a wonderful cozy game that'll make you think and looks lovely. Multiple game modes means you can play how you like, so if puzzle games or city builders are your thing, you'll love it.” N/A – Unknownvillager - Steam User “a streamlined city builder that boils a complex genre down to its tactile joy” N/A – Polygon
