About This Game

Welcome to Model City, a calm relaxing simple game where you can't lose or do anything wrong. This is not a true city builder game, more of a tabletop model city builder.

If you want to, you can maximise the value of your city. You click on tiles and select what type of zoning you want to apply; residential, commercial, industrial, agriculture, or a park, and based on what is already surrounding your selection the value of your city will increase accordingly. There's no resource management or waiting, you just keep on clicking on tiles and select the zoning you want to apply to maximise value. The key is to maintain land balance, which is to maintain the correct ratio of each of the land tile types and then try and apply zoning where it will yield the maximum value. As the tiles in your city increase in value you'll see your residential and commercial zones level up and the next level of buildings will spawn on those tiles (just adds a bit more visual variation).

The game is short and I think you'll be able to complete your city in less than an hour. You can't lose, you could only just do a bit better or accomplish the final achievement. The best way I could describe Model City is that I've developed it to try and be a calm relaxing type of game.

Please do watch the video to see the gameplay. Thanks for dropping by.

This is a fun "casual" game as described. This is not true city builder game. So when purchasing this game expect it to be very casual. For what you get out of this it pretty good. It runs very smoothly and I like watching the building upgrade. It is worth a try if you like city building games. My only complaint is the price of the game. I find it a tad too high for what you get out of it. Review at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWILmr5h5do

Once again, steam needs a neutral option for rating games. Is it horrible? No, but I've seen more compelling mobile games. I barely feel like I will get my $ worth even though I got it on sale, so it gets a negative rating. -This is less of a city builder and more like a basic resource-balancing puzzle in the way it functions. -There is no explanation of what to do or why. You just have to click around until you figure it out, which wasn't very engaging. It runs smoothly, so if you're looking for super simple, it might appeal. -Basic game play makes this pretty boring fast, unless you just like a terrarium that looks like a city. It feels very shallow and I don't know how it could have much replay value.

This game has little to no substance. There's no tutorial and it does not explain how to get better prices on land squares. I would not suggest buying this game because it is not complete. It has a good initial concept but the developer or developers failed to follow through on the rest of the game. Spoiler: [spoiler] I was able to get the 90k achievement by building the houses out from the middle and putting the other four property types in the corners and filling out each area based on the percentage demand to keep it "balanced".

Simplistic and structured, not immediately intuitive but it grows quickly. Sublime track, promotes a soothing easy-going city tile puzzle builder. My first attempt almost cleared the top hurdle. Just a few thousand short of the needed city value. I am pretty sure I could pick-up this spare. Controls are sparse, it isn't Maxis after all. But they did well for what you have, and for the price it's worth showing the dev some love for putting forth the effort, and producing a meaningful 'polished' product. If I had a gripe it would be the controls, you can't move forward without following the cursor, but I was soon accustomed to using the bound vertical keys. Just move around holding Q and it's good, or look up just above the horizon, so you don't have to back up and adjust every so often. I'd say try it out, and it's easy enough that a young mind can find joy in it, and possibly learn with deeper meaning. It's a good starting point for game exposure. In around 30min I was able to discern ...
