Description

No goal. No real gameplay. Just plenty of building and plenty of beauty. That's it. 
 



Townscaper is an experimental passion project. More of a toy than a game. Pick colors from the palette, plop down colored blocks of houses 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.

This is an art toy to savour, and a time-waster of great power.

Townscaper is less of a game, more of a tool to simply play around with. It has no goal either, but that is part of its almost hypnotic charm at being an enjoyable experience that allows us to simply play around as we see fit.

Amazing if you know what to expect

It is not a game you play, but more of an time killer. Launch it once in a while while bored, work on your town, move on, repeat. Townscaper is amazing at this role.

Best imagination builder

Townscapper is beatifully made with some real work that has obviously gone on in the background. You are limited by you imagination but Townscapper leaves you wanting more! This is the only drawback. I would like to see 3 or 4 different types of build that could be added such as a dock, shop, lighthouse/rooftop and maybe a balcony. Brilliant way to spend some peaceful time. Fully recommend it.

Whisical Silly Arty game

What a whimsical, silly, artistic game. Build islands, plant buildings, grow them, make wonderful conglomerations. Colourful, but subtle pastel shades, seaside, pier properties, with arches, supported sections, bridges. Wonderful
