    Agree, there is a fun core here but it's definitely missing something. Advice on where to spend bux would be appreciated. None of the "game" upgrades look any good so maybe one of each 1 square building type to double earning?

    I would pay 2,99 for a helping hand. All this stupid collecting and push the build butten, kills a lot of fun. And the prices for the special Buildings are a little bit to high.
    At the end, this game is egg inc. in a city costume with less eggs and more cars and only one drone.

    I really like this game! What I love the most: the new layouts in each level, the planes, me trying to create a beautiful town by making the buildings of my choice 'historical', the goals that let you earn bux, the special buildings that you can buy with these bux. The choices to make: shall I put a business on that large plot which took me so long to buy, so I can meet this goal? Or shall I make room for a service with the beautiful special building I unlocked with hard earned bux? :)

    Oh, and let's not get too attached to this level; I'm also looking forward to advance to my next city...

    Well done, Nimblebit! :cool:

    I'm not sure about this game but it's addictive. Not really sure what to make of it. I do like the funky music! Nimble bit do some pretty good in game music.


    Any way, not quite understanding the earnings when the game is in the background so as a test, Going to leave the game on and screen saver turned off. Should have a heap of money by the morning

    I love Nimble bit games but this feels rather poor. It doesnt have charm of Tiny Towers or depth of pocket planes. You just press button and thats it.

    Still playing this, it's missing a lot of stuff I'd like to see. Hopefully Nimblebit is reading this forum.

    Autocollector IAP is a must
    Double time IAP would be nice

    It's missing the stats AKA break down of income by residence, business, and service.. (IT NEEDS THIS)
    Also the ability to edit/delete plots incase you bought on accident

    What happened to customization? I wanna see some themes! This city is generic!!

    I got excited when I saw there was a new game from NB but it's just another mindless tapper. I played Egg Inc, got bored of that one too. I also hope they use this as the basis for a normal city building game.

    The music is nice, though.

    Trying to get my bank level up...
    Does anyone know what the max is?
    Is it capped or does it just keep going up?

    I normally hate playing these games, but somehow when I start playing I just can't stop tapping. It's kind of scary to me that a game could have such a weird effect on my mind. I always tell myself, "OK, this is pointless, I need to give my time to another game", but then I just keep tapping!

    Psychological mind games aside, this is a very well made clicker. I love the voxel graphics! Great job Nimblebit! I hate that I love it so much! For real, I hate clickers. I really don't know why I like this game, lol.

    Do I need to see a therapist? I don't know what's real anymore... #

    What gives Nimblebit?
    I miss the charm of the older games and that's largely gone in this game. It's basically a carbon copy of Egg Inc. and contains little to no originality. It's not really addicting like it should be either.
    The lack of strategy and just mindless clicking has me turned off from this.
    Oh well. Their older games are excellent but this is no Tiny Tower...

    I don't like prestiege systems I've said that in many threads before, I think they are a cheap way or increasing gameplay time when I grew up on things like Baulders Gate and C&C I'm use to progress counting and meaning something more than a marginal bonus to restart again.

    So far I've made it to town 4 and I do quite like the game but feel it could have been so much more. The clicking elements aren't too bad as it's not as endless as other clickers needing to rapidly tap away forever

    possibly one of the most creative clickers ever.
    makes you think its not a clicker, its actually a city builder.
    so much depth and content and with the prestige system its a way to keep playing and never getting bored.
    i believe ill be playing this for months.

    Do you think the prestige system is just a way to keep you coming back, with no actual reward? Or am I missing something aside from the % increase per key?

    Fun little idle clicker thingie. Im currently sitting on city 3 with city hall's auto upgrade picker maxed out. All three large plots are service because I'm chasing after the quest goal of three large hospitals at one time. Sitting at 75% prestige and my piggy has 4.47k in it (havent tapped that yet).

    Seconded. I missed out on completing a mission because the lot automatically upgraded itself before I could make it historical. Definitely need to be able to disable the auto upgrading.

    Played a few hours yesterday. Woke up and played this nonstop from 8am-4pm (couldn't get to work due to the snow). Wish I had got paid for my full "workday". Lol

    Having put in at least 11 hours (wow) already, I have to give NimbleBit some credit. I love the look of all the different buildings and landscapes, vehicles, and how it reminds me of Sim City in a purely aesthetic way. It's very brainless, which isn't a bad thing unless you just don't like clicker type games. It's just like TT in that I keep asking myself why I'm playing. I think it's the strange sense of progression that keeps me coming back to this and TT.

    I can see so much potential here. I'll keep playing at least until I finish it once (just about to start city 7) and try to think of some ideas.
