About This Game

About

Tired of city building where you have to micromanage everything?

Pico Topia is a simple and relaxing citybuilder where you place tiny tiles, combine them to collect points and unlock new tiles.

Combining tiles will either increase or reduce your points. If you lose too many points, the game ends.

Leveling up

If you gain enough points, you will level up and unlock new islands that you can the place in your world.

Unlocking an island also gives you the chance to add it to your starter cards.

Starter Cards

When you beat your high score of your previous world, you will be able to unlock a starter card.

The first three cards you start a world with will be chosen from your starter card collection, making every start to a new world different.

Not Recommended

I don't like 'reviewing' games that I haven't played for very long, but I found little beyond frustration and boredom in my time with the game. Unlike other games of this form such as Islanders and Pan'orama, there is very little 'explanation' for the points scored and why they're scored the way they are (or why they lose points in the way they do). Having a fail state of losing 4 points seems really restrictive as well, as very little that I placed actually scored any points, while it seemed to be super easy to lose points. The high contrast art style is nice for a moment, but becomes distracting and gets in the way after a while and the music became really quite repetitive in a short period of time. I would say to spend the money this would cost on either Islanders or Pan'orama - both are far more superior games of this form and genre.
