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!

A 2048 type puzzle game, merge buildings to make bigger buildings and or combo's.
Recommended IF on sale.
Not worth the asking price if not on sale.

A decent and chill match 3 puzzle game where you build bigger buildings by matching.
You have multiple different locations available (each have different grids or gimmicks), different building skins, times of day and game modes you can play around with. On top of that you can also earn card power ups to help you on your city building journey.
I wish there was some way of getting rid of buildings once they are built to the max level (8) so they are out of your way to be able to build even more and make it essentially an infinite game. Also a way to back out of the card menu without actually using a powerup would be nice.
Runs without any issues on Linux with Proton (9.0-3).

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.

Super chill Match 3/2048/Dorf Romantik combo. Real pretty, nice way to relax. Perfect steam deck performance.

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

This is a peaceful game where you build a city via merge-3 mechanics. It is thus a literal city builder. It is not, however, of the City Builder genre, and isn't trying to be, and seems to be an unfortunate overlap of terminology.
The game clearly seems to have been made with love.
The game isn't revolutionary, it isn't trying to be. It is trying to be nice looking/feeling, simple, and relaxing; perhaps even meditative. The love and passion put into this game is evident, though I think much of it is liable to be missed as much of it is of the "if you do your job right nobody will be sure you did anything at all" type
