URBO
A prologue to URBO
the GameURBO offers you the opportunity to build towns on countless floating islands. Become a visionary architect and watch small houses grow into bigger ones, then bigger ones into even more, slowly filling the untouched soil of your town. When you run out of space on one island, a new one will appear, followed by another, and so on until you complete the level.
IMMERSION AWAITS
Dive into the inimitable ambience of URBO, where landscapes delight the eye and puzzles evoke memories of mathematically precise riddles from ancient legends. You shall create cities that can only be seen in dreams. Dreams to be remembered and to which you’d wish to return. URBO is a unique mixture of visual minimalism, relaxing music, smooth animations, meditative game tempo, and puzzles that impress with their elegant solutions.
VARIETY AWAITS
URBO invites you to visit myriad worlds and secret places. Futuristic cities floating in the abyss of open space. The capital, hidden in an impregnable canyon in the heart of the desert territory. The peaceful quarters of a small fishing village nestled on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Or fantastical islands with mythical artifacts in the middle of the vast ocean. URBO is where dreams of distant places come true. You shall see many worlds, existing ones, lost ones, and these that are yet to be found. The choice is yours.
ENIGMAS AWAIT
URBO gives you hours of pleasant moments of contemplation. Under the disguise of simplicity lie challenges that require concentration. The challenges that generously reward an attentive player. URBO is designed so that its nature is clear at first glance. But it will take time and experience, creative decisions and strategic skills to learn how to solve problems and pick the keys to all the puzzles.
AN ENDLESS PATH AWAITS
There’s no ultimate goal in URBO. The rules are very simple: build houses on playing fields of different geometric shapes. From small buildings come bigger ones, with more inhabitants, then even bigger ones, and so on. Thus grows your city and the population. Once you have no free space, the territory expands. Maybe one day you can build a city that can’t expand anymore. But even then there is always a new playing field of a different form, requiring a fresh approach.
URBO AWAITS YOU ANYTIME
Take your mind off work for a quarter of an hour or spend an entire evening playing the game. Run it while waiting for guests or during a break from your favorite activities. Take a moment to pause if you’re feeling stressed – no danger awaits you in the world of URBO, no hostile animals or plundering bandits, no enemies or ghosts. Shift your attention when you realize you can’t solve an important problem. Who knows, maybe it’s URBO that holds the key to it.

I love this game. I'm battling some depression and anxiety, and I have a similar numbers-only game on my phone. I saw this and bought it on a whim. The learning curve was simple due to the other game I've played, and I love the "simplistic" modeling and shaders. It's very relaxing and pleasing, and the ambient music is right up my alley. Definitely recommend!

Simple, yet inviting and addictive puzzle game. Not really a city builder as people have said, but that doesn't really matter with how satisfying the loop is, how cozy the atmosphere is, how great the soundtrack is, and how satisfying the separate locations' special gimmicks are.

Surprisingly relaxing and nice game, strategically challenging even though it looks simple. I am happy with my purchase.

Very peaceful and simple experience. A good game to chill out with especially if you need a distraction that isn't going to over-stimulate your senses.

This is a tentative recommendation. There's nothing wrong with it other than it's not a city builder. At least, not in the way you think a city builder should be. This is a sliding puzzle game. It does what it does well. It's kinda boring but also sorta relaxing - ish. It's definitley not for everyone, and I wish I hadn't bought it, but at the same time I didn't dislike it. Just lower your expectations a bit if you decide to get this game.
The game isn't too challenging unless you try to fill the board with max-level buildings. If you try to do that, then you will spend a very long time on one city while trying to optimize all your moves.

Build your own town from scratch
URBO is basically that 2048 mobile game from a decade ago wrapped in lovely visuals. I really cannot say much more about the gameplay loop than that you merge buildings together to create bigger buildings, which create even bigger buildings when merged together etc. etc. etc.
I found the music in this game very calming. It created kind of a zen vibe, perfect for cozy gaming. Combined with the pretty art style, you can create some awesome looking towns on very pretty maps. Not only are there multiple maps, there are a bunch of different building types you can collect through completing achievements within the game.
URBO has a handful of achievements, which I chose to follow as my main goal of completion within the game. None of them are too difficult to get once you really get the hang of the gameplay mechanics. I really enjoyed my time with this game.
