If you happen to follow any of the Nimblebit developers on Twitter, you’d know that they’ve been teasing screenshots from their upcoming city building simulation Bit City for months now. Taking everything the team has learned from Tiny Tower and its various spinoffs and putting it all into a full-blown city building game sounds like a dream come true, and their various social media teasers have had me excited to see what Bit City is all about. Well, today Nimblebit is offering up another tease in the form of a brief trailer giving a look at a Bit City city in action.
While there’s not a ton of in-depth information about the actual mechanics in Bit City (it IS a teaser after all), the visual part is looking right on the money. I’m one of those people who absolutely loved the original SimCity but could never really get on well with the sequels that typically ramped up the complexity. I’ve long yearned for a more simplistic take on a city builder, and I’m surprised no one has really accomplished that in the mobile space yet. Could Bit City be the one? I sure hope so, and we’ll be able to find out when the game launches sometime in March.
