Boardwalk Builders

It's a very chill game. In theory it's a pretty lengthy experience due to the many building upgrades and combinations, as well as the many different ways you'll spend your money. The process is very smooth, but it isn't exactly fast paced. Hence the very chill game statement in the beginning. It has excellent pixel art, soothing music, and a chill gameplay loop. It's really something you have up while you are devoted to something else. Idler games are weird like that. Anyway, if you're looking for something you can play kind of in the background and just periodically jump into - this might be exactly what you're looking for.

Cute little sim. Nice music. I liked the art style and the variety of shops.

Love the game so much!! If you are into management sim game, you should definitely play this game! At first I'm not making much money and that really makes me competitive and addicted to the game >< I've start earning lots now and I'll try to get all the achievements!!~ Please add cloud saving so I can play it on my other devices!

Boardwalk Builders is another exceptional solo dev title from Joel @ Studio Primitive. It's a sim game, reminiscent of classic sim titles like Sim City and Rollercoaster Tycoon. There's a great level of attention to detail and polish to make a simple concept be incredibly charming and fun to just sit and observe as you manage your boardwalk. There's also a surprising level of depth, with a variety of systems to build out and upgrade. The pixel art is very enjoyable, and the soundtrack (also made by Joel) is calm and peaceful, and perfectly fitting for this style of game. If a "cozy" sim game is your jam, I encourage you to give this one a shot.

Really enjoyed this game! Very chill and easy to pick up. In the future I'd love to see more achievements added and think that the cost scaling should be heavily adjusted when you get to the later stages of the game. After maxing out visitors it feels like you're just waiting for the money to fill up for a bit. Still a great time though!

Boardwalk Builders does what it says on the tin, but in a fantastic way! The graphics are gorgeous, the music is beautiful, and the gameplay loop is satisfying as heck. I found the learning curve a bit steep but that's more a me problem than the game itself 😂 I wanted to do everything the game allowed all at once and found myself hemorrhaging cash which made it harder than it should have been, but when I slowed down and paid a bit more attention to what each thing did, it was a lot less stressful. I think that's the key for Boardwalk Builders. Slow yourself down, enjoy the ride. Beautiful game, definitely recommend for folks who love simulation games. Even if you're not a sim fan, there's always a free demo to try it out first 😊
