BEST GAME EVER
Mon Jul 24 2023 hopek14

I never ever review games. I rarely review anything. Please take time out of your day and download this app. It’s only $4.99 and you will find endless enjoyment. You don’t need to worry about upgrades or tasks. You don’t need to unlock anything. The whole game is sandbox for you to grow and grow and let your imagination roam wild. With every added block, the world shifts to something new—hanging laundry, birds, bushes, lamps, entire neighborhoods with grass and fences.. that’s not even a fraction of the beautiful creations within this game. You play on your time at your own pace. You can play for two seconds and get back to whatever you’re doing and in that time completely shift your world if you want. This has helped break apart my busy life and bring my mind to ease on my schedule. It’s like being able to take out your brain and squeeze out any anxieties or stressors that have been in there. The beauty in every little thing in this game is unmatched. The creators were so thoughtful and downright magical when putting their hearts into this game(i don’t even like to call it a game.. it’s really an artistic town building app). Anyways, I could talk forever about it, just download and find out for yourself.

Love it!!! Here are some good ideas!

This is an amazing game. Want to make a town on water, well, here is the perfect place! Its an italian or southern europe styled architecture town in the middle of the ocean. This game is pretty easy, make some paths, build AMAZING houses, guess what! There is no in-game money, so the houses are ALL free! Now, I know you haven‘t updated in over 8 months from the time I uploaded this review, however, I have some update ideas! First of all, STYLES! You can select styles. For example: Italian, English, German, Japanese, and MANY MORE! You may select this in the settings button and the houses and paths would immediately change. Second of all, LAND! You should be able to select what you want the land to be. Not only water, but grass, forest, or farmland! This may also be selected in the settings. This may help fit a roleplay. Last of all, ACTUAL BUILDINGS! Note being rude or anything but, towns have more than homes and lighthouses. There should be shops, barber shops, maybe even a supermarket. Its italy (during the time-period I‘m posting this comment), have you ever seen Italy with only houses? Thanks for reading!

Love this game <3

I love this game! So far this game has been so amazing, it’s cute, simple, easy and fun. The building is satisfying and easy, and the aesthetic of the game is just perfect but I would like it if you could add an option to make the world less warped, it look silly and I can add area in certain places because of the world being so warped, but at the same time I like the warping, it adds a challenge to building and it does look great if you can do it well, the settings are easy and everything else if very well polished and perfected. I have nothing else wrong with the game other than the warping, i’ll keep playing the game with it and it’s still very fun. Another fun feature you can add is people, like little people that can walk around with each other and enter and exit houses, a feature like this that could be turned in and off would be so cool and fun, but that’s just my suggestion. The game is amazing I would recommend, 10/10.

Amazing!!

This app is amazing! I actually bought it for the Switch first and loved it so much I wanted to be able to do it without my Switch so I bought it again which I didn’t mind spending the extra money if it meant supporting the creators! I hear what people are saying with wanting to add more features like parks, etc. but I actually like how limited the features are so you have to really be creative and use your imagination. I do wish that there was a way to change the color of existing buildings without having to destroy a building and rebuild it. My only other suggestion is I think it would be cool to add a timelapse feature (like Procreate has) that records your progress as you’re building so that you can go back and watch your progress from the beginning. I think that would be a fun way to bookend the features in this fun, relaxing experience!

Cozy Gamers Dream

I really enjoy the sound design, aesthetic, and simplicity of this game. It does have a limit which I’m sure is important to the minimalist experience, though I do wish there could be a little bit more customization in terms of details and specificity in the streets and pathways. Finding all the new things that come up when experimenting with builds is so fun! Seeing tiny shoes and chairs and tables pop up in the streets is so fun. It would be great to expand upon the types/styles of towns you could built, like a beach town or forest town, and I personally would love a fairytale style town with mushroom tops or something! It would add to its replayability and expand its appeal to more people. Besides the suggested add-ons, it really is a great cozy game that’s easy to put down and come right back to without feeling glued to the screen 🩵. Please don’t change that aspect of it!

Themes

I enjoy this game very much, and I have which I think is a great idea that I will surely love if it ever happens. THEMES! When you open the app, if you want to make a new town, after you click “new button” it will take you to a “themes” screen, in this screen you could just pick to do the normal Townscaper but you could also pick “Christmas” “Halloween” or “Easter” these don’t have to be the exact themes it could be ANYTHING. Once you pick your theme, it will take you to the normal game. But for example, if Halloween theme gets added to the game, let’s say the water is green to represent toxic waste, the buildings will have a much more October color with little details like pumpkins or anything related to Halloween, even skeletons! Im sorry if I’m bad at explaining, but hopefully this gets seen, if this ever happens, the update will surely make me happy.

Is it a game or therapy?
Sun May 07 2023 CC Hunt

In the main, most games are fast-paced, goal-oriented blood pressure boosters. When you are tired of those or they just aren’t your taste, try Townscaper. Because there are no points and no achievement-specific goals, it really isn’t a game. Your pace, your rules (within the apps limitations, of course), your creativity. Some think Townscaper is more akin to therapy, and I agree. One thing I like most to do while I’m building is to write little stories in my head about why the build looks l Ike it does and about the people who might live there. Each section of “town” becomes part of a community for me. Browse the Interwebz for Townscaper builds and you’ll find examples of some amazing creativity, design sense, and down-right whimsy. If you like what you see, then get started! And tell all of your friends. They’ll thank you.

This needs to be a new standard of mobile game
Sat Oct 23 2021 BearKiddy

What standard is this? The passive, constructive, world building type game. To some this may seem like a tech demo but it’s not. I’ve watched this game get built from the ground up over Twitter and I am so happy to get my hands on it. Now, does this game se feature-less? Sure. That’s your opinion. But this game isn’t meant to be that type of game your imagining. This is a relaxation type game. If you are looking for THAT type of game, Osaka’s other game, Bad North will scratch THAT itch. Now, weather would be nice. I’d love to see rain, or snow build up on the roofs, but it’s not needed. Once you turn on some Lo Fi, turn on some rain sounds and play this game, you will have so much fun. If more features come to this game, I’ll be happy but Osaka, my dude. Thank you so much for this! You and Tiny Touch Tails are killing it and I respect that
