The music, the vibes, the art, the gameplay are all incredible. Super cozy and simply entertaining.
Such a beautiful and interesting take on the puzzle genre. The challenges are not too difficult but are thoroughly engaging. The art style, along with the colour palette, is so easy on the eyes, and I love that there are some light customisation options for the buildings. The overarching narrative is so wholesome, and its focus on creating a happy, beautiful, and safe place for everyone within the neighbourhood is really inspiring. If you are interested in a creative and heartwarming puzzle game to relax with, or are completely new to this genre, I can wholeheartedly recommend this title.
Really cute game. Cozy, casual. Relaxing. I like the 'puzzle' aspect to figuring out how to optimize the shops. I was able to get 100% achievements in under 6 hours. It was 5-6 hours of gameplay for the story mode and there's a sandbox mode if you want to continue playing. I recommend it - it's casual enough for more beginner gamers I'd say too.
Muy cozy, tardé unas 4 horas en acabarme el juego con calma y poquito más para completar todos los logros. Bastante recomendable como experiencia, está muy currado para tener solo 6 meses de desarrollo, hicieron un muy buen trabajo. :)
Small and very charming game. Fairly easy too. You play as sort of a mayor of one street, and each level gives you a different mission. Missions usually revolve around having a pretty street where people are happy. It's quite satisfying :)
pretty fun game! short, but you can keep playing after the missions are over. for the best experience, it's better to slow down and mess around with design & colors of your buildings, rather than change ahead to complete the missions asap, they can always be replayed later. so just enjoy yourself.
Super fun! Very relaxing, but still kept me engaged with all the requirements needed to either complete the missions or create a successful business that the villagers liked. I wish they added more store customization designs and colors. They should definitely add more missions or content or continuous goals to each after finishing the original missions. Love this game!
Very pleasant and enjoyable game. This is my favorite game so far.
一款輕鬆休閒的遊戲,美術風格很可愛,能設計漂亮的街景。玩法略單調,模擬經營的元素不算特別多。主線只有五關,容易達成(用時約三小時),反而後續解成就可能會多花時間(親自撿垃圾)。雖然是休閒遊戲,但為了找狸貓、撸貓和招呼單車騎士,得一直盯著螢幕。
C'est un jeu très mignon. Les designs sont charmant et la musique aussi. Le gameplay est simple et assez classique et le jeu se fini assez rapidement. Les quelques heures que j'ai passé dessus était très sympa.
