Easily one of the Chillest "simcity"/Skylines - Likes. Just fit the shape, but know what your city needs with what you got, and place it where it has to go. I think i'm at a ridiculous spot (It's been a while), i don't want my city to die ;_;
Cool game. Gets a bit repetitive and easy the longer you play. But an interesting concept nevertheless. A bit Tetris-like, but interesting
