Dorfromantik
Description
Dorfromantik is a relaxing building strategy and puzzle game in which you place tiles to create ever-growing, idyllic village landscapes. With Dorfromantik, you can immerse yourself in a quiet, peaceful world at any time and take a break from everyday life. At the same time, Dorfromantik offers a challenge for those who are looking for one: To beat the highscore, you need to carefully plan and strategically place your tiles.
In Dorfromantik you start with a stack of procedurally generated tiles. One after the other, you draw the top tile of the stack, place it on one available slot and rotate for the best fit. Thereby groups and combinations of landscapes are formed, such as forests, villages or water bodies, and you are rewarded with points depending on how well the tile fits.
On some tiles you will also encounter special objects that give you a quest: For example, the windmill wants to border 6 grain fields, the locomotive wants to be connected to 10 tracks or the deer wants to inhabit a forest with at least 50 trees. Fulfill these quests to get more tiles to continue the expansion of your landscape. The game ends when the tile stack is used up.
As you expand the landscape, you can advance into new, colorful biomes and discover pre-placed game objects that give you long-term tasks. Through these tasks you can unlock new tiles, new biomes and new quests.
Dorfromantik offers options for any style of play! Take a short break from life in quick mode or try to master the game in hard mode. The Custom Mode allows you to create your own rulesets and share them with others, while monthly mode awaits you with a new challenge every month. If you just want to relax and build your own landscape with no limits, try the creative mode!
Dorfromantik was developed by four game design students from Berlin. Together we have founded Toukana Interactive and want to develop many more small, original and high-quality indie games in the future.

Essential
Dorfromantik is sunshine on the screen, with a puzzling heart that will keep you busy for days.

8/10
Dorfromantik balances its strategic and cozy elements well, and it's easy to fall into a serene trance of dropping tiles. Pulling the camera back to reveal the full scope of my landscape always feels like a satisfying reward for my subtle, hard work, much like stepping back to admire a finished painting. While it's not the sort of puzzle game I feel compelled to play more than a session or two a day, I always appreciate the improved mood with which it leaves me.

9/10
Essentially, no matter what you’re looking to get out of Dorfromantik, you should be able to find it thanks to the assorted game modes on offer. The approachability of its tile placement and point system mixed with relaxing visuals pull you in and invite you to kick up your feet and rest for a while.

Peepless city-arranger
I really like this game. As others have said, it's essentially Carcassonne, but without the peeps and without AI or multiplayer competition. All points are scored by achieving certain layouts (e.g. 10 fields touching), achievements which also add additional tiles to your hand. You keep playing until your tiles run out. Simple, slick, relaxing, with no time limits or other sources of pressure. As others have also said, it wouldn't hurt to have a little more variety. My suggestion is to add seasons which would change the look of the tiles as the seasons pass, but not their configuration. That wouldn't change the game at all, but would make it less tedious to look at for long periods of time. Maybe throw in a few easter egg features, too, like a snowman showing up here and there in the winter, etc. A couple more uber-relaxing music tracks wouldn't hurt, either. The tutorial is pretty crap. It gets you started, but that's about it. Scoring is not really explained, and certain English translation issues raised questions for me (e.g. what is a water train station, and why don't I need a land one for my land trains?). Also, having to reset my display resolution every time I start the game is annoying. (And I wholeheartedly agree with the guy who asked for screen-edge scrolling.) All in all, a pleasant little game, especially for the sale price.
