    Juego hiper-sencillo de construcción de ciudades con mecánicas bastante básicas pero entretenidas

    Tiene las 3 B: Bueno, Bonito y Barato

    Excelente forma de desestresarte después de valer v3rg4 en rankeds

    This is really special. It isn't a game yet, more a toy. You build beautiful towns effortlessly. The interface is very simple but the results from click to build or right click to delete are amazing. I have worked out a few ways to create certain structures but Im learning all the time.

    This is really is the most absorbing and satisfying experience. It's like a gently massage for the mind. Without a creative bone in your body, you will be able to build the most unique and beautiful townscapes. And you'll keep adding more and more.

    This isn't really a game how most would think of one - me included, honestly, until I played around in Townscaper. So thanks for broadening my horizons, lol.

    Anyways, there's no goal, no "You won!" screen, nor a "You lost!" one. This game is about just plopping down a couple blocks and building an island town, painting it in a variety of vibrant colors and basking in the glory of your own creation. This game is like that time you sat down with your wooden blocks or your lego as a child, threw the manual to the corner, and decided to build a town of your own.

    If you remember it fondly, you'll most likely enjoy Townscaper. If you remember it as something boring you were forced to do because you couldn't go play outside or watch tv / play videogames, you'll probably want to steer clear. However, if you have a game pass, I'd recommend you give it a try while it's on there anyways. It's only some 150MB, so will be downloaded real quick, and perhaps it'll amuse you for a few minutes.    … Expand

    This is a simple island builder but with enough creativity, the possibilities are infinite. The result is always nice because of building system and the good looking design.
    Simple but effective.

    Отличная игра на случай, если не знаешь во что поиграть. Нет цели и никаких, абсолютно никаких проблем. Просто ставь домики как тебе удобно и меняй время суток.

    Fantastic game to kill time, and it is extremely calming. The art style is simple and minimalistic, yet charming.

    Townscaper exists in that special chill vibe genre that includes games like digital coloring books and virtual bubble wrap, but it also nudges gently up against city builders as well, only without any of the complications or stress. It makes you feel like a creative, relaxed time traveler, bringing into existence a peaceful, little perfect town out in the middle of a perfectly calm sea. Townscaper doesn’t try to do a lot of things, instead it does one thing very, very well.

    Townscaper is the perfect game if you’re looking for a way to relax and unwind while flexing your creative muscles. The mechanics may be limited, but the game itself is absolutely limitless. Townscaper is like a nice warm batch of cookies from grandma, and I can already tell I will be returning quite often to the comforts I found while playing.

    Townscaper is minimalist in every sense of the word — minimalist gameplay, minimalist UI, minimalist sound — but the sheer amount of potential hidden within this title defies its style. If you’re looking for a new obsession or a nice little title to play during lunch breaks or just before bed, Townscaper is the soothing sandbox town-builder that will do the trick. The town-building aspect may be instantaneous, but you’ll soon learn you spend an awful lot of time discovering all the little signs of life that spring up along the way.
