Charming City Building Puzzle Game. Annoying controls. I wish they would have implemented proper mouse control. Controls are clunky and they made me quit after a while. It's as if you are on a nice bike ride in a pretty environment and the chain falls out every 1 minute. You just dont want to go on anymore. Quite sad...

About This Game
Old Pete, “The Dock Yard”, is being demolished. He’s the first of his group of friends to go. It was unexpected and everyone is a bit worried.
Being made of bricks and mortar doesn’t mean you don’t have your own things to worry about.

This ragtag group of friends were there, right from the start, when it really became a city. With them they brought the titans of the industry, hundreds of jobs and hundreds more houses. But the Linen Mill’s not been getting many textile orders come through this year, the Warehouse lost another contract from the neighbouring city and the Old Bank’s having money troubles.
Something’s not quite right. Change is coming. What if they’re next?
Fortunately, you, The Halfway Hotel, are at hand to step in and reassure everyone that things will be ok. But what starts off as small odd-jobs ends up unravelling into more problems, as history moves faster than you can keep up with.

Buildings Have Feelings Too! is an exciting new city-management/puzzle game about buildings and the city they inhabit.
Imagine a city where buildings can walk and talk to one another. Each one has its own aspirations, hopes and fears. Most of the time they are just trying to get along with each other and make it through the day. Grow your city into a bustling metropolitan centre with an array of shops, offices, entertainment facilities and amenities, to help your buildings thrive; or risk them being demolished forever.
- Discover and equip a wide range of businesses from the Victorian era right through to the modern day.
- Befriend a range of Buildings, each with their own aspirations, hopes and fears, as they come to grips with the changing world around them.
- Customise and rearrange your city’s layout by moving buildings and find the perfect combination for your city to grow.
- Expand across multiple neighbourhoods of your city, discovering new landmark characters and districts.

Charming, whimsical, and unique. Hampered by clunky controls (KB/M or Controller) Refunded - I really don't like to have to wrestle with basic controls.
This game is pretty fun, but the controls are a bit awkward, and it's easy to get stuck in the Tutorial. It's a unique idea, and I've played enough games that I love unique ideas. So I would recommend this game, if you want something unique and interesting. But understand that a big part of the "game" is fighting the controls. A big part of the problem stems from the fact that you can't go straight left-right when selecting a spot to build. If you go past the spot you are trying to select and turn around, you jump to the other side of your avatar, which is 4-5 building spots over. So selecting the right spot is tricky. Then there is the fact that sometimes left mouse click can sub for space, an other times it can't. Which is confusing. And the first time they throw you into the tab menu in the tutorial (to look up 'Construction' and figure out how to construct a building) they haven't yet explained to you that 'Q' is the way to go back, so I got stuck there pressing escape an...
Forced into fullscreen. 0 graphic settings. Runs at sub-20 FPS on a 2080 Super. It runs so slow and clunky on my machine and has crashed twice in the 0.1 hours I spent playing it. Requested a refund.
Cute and charming puzzle game with just absolutely terrible controls and hampered by a poorly designed tutorial. The controls are keyboard focused, it's VERY fiddly to use WASD to move correctly and select specific objects or spaces, and the keys used in menus change from panel to panel. It's not intuitive or friendly at all. Just as an example: when you open up the game, there's a button next to "New Game" labelled "A". If you push the "A" key, because that's what you do when a button is on a menu and labelled with "A", the icon suddenly changes to a space bar, and that's what you actually have to press to start. The tutorial didn't start for me until I'd begun testing keys to see what moved me around, and frequently the bread crumb trail was missing or hidden - it would often wait until I had opened a menu before popping up, but never indicated to open that menu, or would be indicated by a talk icon slightly larger than the normal talk icon. If you're willing to slog along with i...
I had to give this game a go just before going to bed! I've had it in my wish list for such a long time and it's finally here. Is it as silly as I expected it to be? Yes! Is it fun? Yes. I'm an average gamer and I take games as they are, without expecting things that they don't oversell. The lack of options didn't bother me, I just hit Alt+Enter for windowed and lowered the volume on my speakers and I was ready to go. From the "first area" which I completed, I can understand how it might become more difficult in putting the combos together. From the "map" it seems like there are quite a few areas, so I feel that this is a game you'll come to on and off and enjoy progressing through it and playing it for what it is. So for me, it is definitely something I'll be spending a weekend on with a cup of coffee. Is this the game for you? Take a look at the trailers, take a look at the screenshots. If it gets you excited to play it, I say go for it. Watching other people play it first, mig...
This game is a lovely puzzle. It plays very similarly to Reus. You place can place different buildings along a limited number of horizontal spaces. Each kind of building can hold different kinds of businesses like apartments, cafes, and the like. Each building provides benefits (and sometimes costs) to their neighbors which when stacked properly allows you to upgrade them. Fully upgrading a building unlocks more advanced buildings as well. Unlike Reus, the missions are not timed, and a core mechanic is that you can pick up and shuffle building locations with a cute jogging animation. So, the game is much more forgiving in that sense. This game also has a very easy UI, and I find it easy to gather necessary information. I can quickly see what each building gives to its neighbors and wants from them. If a building needs something (like vegetables), I can quickly see what possible neighbors could fill that need. The menu also has an easy to use encyclopedia of buildings unlock...
I did get stuck in the tutorial and could not progress any further (could just me a me issue?). One day I may return and figure it out. Game ran well, no crashes, no lag, but the targeting is a little weird and off, ability to target and click with mouse could be cool too.
At first the game and its ideas are nice. Once you come to the third neighbourhood, there is no way to go forward with the building permit and somehow remove the orphan homes and there is no help with it at all. After that the game keeps on crashing on steam proton and I can't enter it again. Not playable now, so not recommended.
so many bugs still. I keep having to reload every few minutes. And for some reason, you can't manually save/load game. So if you screwed up big time, you're gonna have to start aaaaallllll the way back to the beginning.
