Do not buy this game if you are:

In the game, you need to cleverly layout buildings and consider their interactions with each other. As your score steadily climbs, the level of your town will also gradually increase, unlocking new maps filled with challenges. At this point, you can continue to build your town, enhancing its level and unlocking more buildings. The game ends when there are no more plots or buildings that can be placed on the map. At that moment, you can proudly admire your architectural masterpiece, feeling the fruits of your wisdom and effort.
Small Tips:
* Sometimes, for the sake of potentially higher scores in the future, you might need to adopt long-term strategies rather than the best immediate options. Your patience and wisdom will be rewarded throughout the game's progress.
* Although the game itself is not competitive, you can compare your scores with players worldwide and experience more challenges and fun by viewing the player leaderboard.

After unlocking the new town, you can also choose to continue building it to achieve a higher score. Keep going until you run out of plots or buildings, and then take a look at the town you've meticulously crafted.

Inspired by the following games:
Minesweeper
Islanders
Tetris

Surprisingly addicting! Very satisfying and interesting. I found it slightly unclear HOW to expand my work area but I'm still managing to enjoy the game regardless. I would definitely recommend picking this game up, even if you wait until it's on sale. :)
