Nakornsampan

[b]nakornsampan[/b] is a merge-3 game, similar to [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/209950/]triple town[/url], except it's not a lazy and ridiculously overpriced and unbalanced mobile port, but a charming pixely game for $2. each level represents a city with a lot of empty real estate and you have to place various things all over the land to make everything and everybody flourish. they're presented as [b]tetris-like shapes you can rotate[/b] with the mouse wheel or right click (rmb also acts as cancel). ideally, you'll place 3 of the same thing next to each other to convert them into one higher-tier version taking up less space (single house to family house, chicken coop to pig pen, etc.). it's not just a simple match-3, there are [b]city management elements[/b]. the 'various things' are based on cards you're dealt, with new ones to choose from after every week. you have to make sure people have enough food, crops are near water, livestock has people nearby, and just like in real life, schools and hospitals have their benefits as well. you can even put down train tracks. the [b]adjacency bonus[/b] is based on what's around, can be positive or negative. all this might be fam…

Playing through it several times it looks simple enough, but to continue to match stuff take time and thought. There has been a few times I have cut myself off from the city of water and I lose my farms or recourse buildings. Overall its a cute little fun puzzle game. I have included some gameplay above to see if it something you might be interested in!

This is the first game I've ever requested a refund for on steam. Honestly the most frustrating and confusingly designed tile placement game i've ever played. the time feature is so weird because different tiles activate on different multiples of days (e.g. per 5 days or per day or per week). It's impossible to calculate all of the things going on, so trying to make a strategy feels like an exercise in futility. It pretty much always feels bad to place tiles due to the fact that having to place multiple at the time will inevitably create obstacles for yourself in the future. Yeah, sure, you can remove these and clean up with powers- but the currencies used to activate powers are almost impossible to consistently generate- especially when your city is already clogged up with unwanted tile patterns. Just play triple town by spryfox. They did it first and far better.

Nakornsampan is a cute little city build x merge 3 game. If you like mini strategy and puzzle merge games then this would be a good game for you. You build a little civilization by placing the randomly generated tiles in different places and by placing three or more of the same tile together, they merge to create something better. The game ends when you have no more room left on the given map. It is super fun and definitely continuously playable. Although the graphics are kind of small, they are still cute and the music is super relaxing. You can change the background and screen visuals which is a cool and fun addition and this also allows you to increase the map size. Definitely worth the price and it's a fun little mini game to pass the time.

This can be an amazing game if some kind of an "endless" mode is added, and it certainly needs improvements to balance and UI. Right now it's just okay, but for this price I can't not recommend it.

This game makes me happy.
