“Don't want to hate, got this game for literally no money, but you honestly don't do anything in this game, you can just left-click to add a piece of building and right-click to remove it and that's the whole gameplay. You can't choose what…”
“Cute, cozy, but lacking in variety. Played for 20 minutes and I feel like I'va seen every variation this game can offer. Since you can't decide what to build (you can pick the color), I feel like more random elements would have to show up…”
