City Limits is a relaxing tile-based puzzle game where you build cities on a desolate island. Place tiles strategically to create a cascading spread of new structures. Cover the island as efficiently as you can before the land becomes unusable. There is no lose state. Just chill and build.
Features
- Relaxing gameplay
- Several game modes to mix and match
- 10 Chill songs to build to
- Save and quit any run
- Leaderboards to compete against other city planners
What City Limits Is and is Not
- City Limits is a chill and relaxing experience. It is best played with headphones. It is deeper than it seems.
- City Limits is not a super long game. It’s not a traditional city builder.

Mmm..
That is a very good score-chasing minimalist city-building with a combo mechanic and interesting tiles that keep your playthroughs fresh and ever-changing. You have two gamemodes, classic, with a limited number of moves, and advanced, with more freedom to build, change and rebuild that can go infinitely if you are tactical and methodical.
Yes it is a relaxing experience, since there is no timer or time constraint, it is turn-based, but I wouldn't call the game a relaxing city-builder because, imo, it is way better described and enjoyed as puzzle, arcade and score chasing, because that is really what the game is about. Make combos, think strategicaly and get to the top of the leaderboards before you screw yourself and reach the end of the game.
Really interesting to see how a game is described on the store page, which angle is used to sell it, and how it feels to be played once you try it for yourself. You can easily change the description and try to reach an other audience with the exact same product by phrasing differently. It says "no lose state, just chill and build" and while it isn't wrong, it could also be described as "make impactful decisions, build carefuly and avoid the game over for as long as you can. Each defeat is only the beginning of a new era. Will you reach 100K points?"
Anyway, looking forward your next project dev, currently 3 very good and different games, I wish you to keep on this quality streak and I love traditional turn-based roguelikes !

Nice and relaxing puzzle game. In basic mode you just place tiles and try to place as many as you can while the map is devoured by spikes. However in advanced mode fight against hungrier spikes! Instead of just eating
empty tiles they also eat your buildings unless you upgrade them. Now here's where the real fun is, you can upgrade buildings by placing them next to each other in specific ways, which spawns more buildings... If you plan it right you could have a building that places a building that upgrades a building that places a building that upgrades a building, and that is so awesome because it fills up so much of the map instantly.
