“This game is amazing, the only thing thats even slightly inconvenient is that the placing tiles are not even, though even then it just gives it an extra detail. This game is stunning.”
“Townscaper is a beautiful, clever, and very tastefully made game. It has a wonderful atmosphere, pleasant colors, charming architecture, and I completely understand why so many people experience it as relaxing.…”

“Fun for 30 seconds and then you wonder why they didn't just build an actual game on top.”
“It's a charming toy. It was fun for a while, but ultimately it's hard to build anything specific because of the irregular grid. It facilitates tinkering but I think it really shoots itself in the foot with that. It's…”

“A very relaxing game to pass time but an even grid placement could make the game even better 6/10”
“Fun and relaxing with a huge potential for cool screenshots. I only wish we had more control over the grid and how it's arranged. I love making flying platforms and know how, but I wish they were just standard paints…”
