    The gameplay is characterized by creative and addictive puzzle mechanics, combining strategic city building with relaxing tile-based elements. Players engage in a deck-building experience that challenges them with unique objectives, reminiscent of games like Dorfromantik. The calming graphics enhance the overall relaxed atmosphere, making it an enjoyable puzzle experience.

    • “Great deck builder with interesting mechanics that provide challenging puzzles.”
    • “Graphics are calming and serene, which, in combination with its calm tile-based puzzle gameplay, offer a relaxed puzzle experience.”
    • “Strategic puzzle city building + relaxing + mechanics = similar to Dorfromantik; use cards to build that have objectives for bonus points.”
    • “The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged for long periods.”
    • “The mechanics are clunky and often lead to frustrating moments that detract from the overall experience.”
    • “There are too many bugs in the gameplay that disrupt the flow and make it difficult to enjoy.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are described as basic and cartoony, often featuring overly bright and empty backgrounds that can make it difficult to distinguish between tiles and inaccessible ground. Despite this, some users find the visuals calming and serene, complementing the game's relaxed puzzle gameplay, while others appreciate the neat graphics and satisfying sound design.

    • “Neat graphics, satisfying sounds and challenging levels.”
    • “Graphics are calming and serene, which in combination with its calm tile-based puzzle gameplay offer a relaxed puzzle experience.”
    • “Basic cartoony graphics with often too bright and empty backgrounds, and it can be hard to see if there's a tile or just inaccessible ground, or if a tile has a skull or something.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious due to camera issues, such as limited zoom functionality and frequent resets after restarts, which necessitate excessive dragging and scrolling to navigate levels effectively.

    • “Right click is only used to cancel the current card selection, wheel zooms, often not far enough to see the whole level and the camera resets after a restart, again leading to tedious dragging/scrolling.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is largely unremarkable, with players noting that it is often background noise that goes unnoticed, and is primarily limited to the menu screens.

    • “Wouldn't notice it if it wasn't there; music only in the menu.”
