The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who enjoy relaxed, open-ended building and making charming little places their own: Place colored blocks on an irregular grid and watch the town’s layout shape houses, arches, bridges, stairways, and gardens. Tradeoff: There are no conventional goals or challenges; the pleasure comes from experimenting and shaping a scene.

The setup
What you are walking into
Townscaper is an experimental passion project. More of a toy than a game. Pick colors from the palette, plop down colored blocks of house on the irregular grid, and watch Townscaper's underlying algorithm automatically turn those blocks into cute little houses, arches, stairways, bridges and lush backyards, depending on their configuration.
