Run the app and enjoy your favorite Games app on Windows PC.After an overwhelmingly positive response to its Early Access launch on Steam, Townscaper, the town building toy-like game, officially has a release window. It was announced at E3 during the GameSpot Play For All Showcase that Townscaper will be releasing in August of this year. Townscaper on GameSpot’s Play For All Showcase The announcement comes in the form of a new trailer that shows off more of what Townscaper does best – letting you build picturesque towns with ease. Townscaper is the resulting passion project of Oskar Stålberg whose previous works includes the Viking inspired, Bad North. To expand onto additional platforms, Oskar is once again teaming up with publisher Raw Fury, who will bring the game to Nintendo Switch and Mobile. The port to the Switch is especially exciting given Townscaper’s pick up and play design. Players can transport themselves into beautiful scenes or create towns inspired by their surroundings using the Switch’s touch screen capabilities. With quaint, colorful blocks locking into place to the sound of soothing ‘pops’, Townscaper definitely feels more like a childhood toy than a game – it’s a callback to simplicity and pure creative expression. You can make grassy areas by surrounding an area with houses and having the middle free, do so with different colour houses and you will get some nice walls and fences within the green area.Access to all the building tools is given right away and Townscaper’s algorithm ensures that every block snaps together in a cohesive way to allow anyone to create the town of their dreams with houses, gardens, and bridges, regardless of architectural skill.You can make a lighthouse by building a standalone tower of 3 or more blocks.Check night mode and mess around with the position of the sun.If you don’t interact with the screen for a bit the UI will hide (if you have the toggle on).You can turn on the grid to see what certain positions may look like – look out for the ones that form the centre of certain warps.Tap to add block, short hold to delete a block, long hold to change colour to the currently selected one. ![]() If you can get it on sale you can save around 15-20% on it, but either way it’s money worth spent for the zen garden that Townscaper is. The concept feels like it has infinite potential. It would be interesting to see this with different architectural styles, colour pallets, vibes and building variations – for example a spooky abandoned building or medieval castle. The decision not complicate the game with actual “gameplay” like resources and management does leave you with a slight sense of longing, but equally helps it preserve its truly zen vibe which will leave you feeling relaxed. You can spend hours perfecting and tinkering with your city and 5 mins can quickly turn into 20-30. It is a great mobile game and perfect time killer. ![]() However, when you observe the detail and appreciate the effort that has gone into the game you appreciate it more and more. Generally speaking, the game will set you back around £4.99 which can seem a little bit steep for what’s essentially a city painting app. You can choose from 15 beautiful pastel colours spanning the colours of the rainbow and make some truly fantastic creations. As you add different pieces existing ones will change leaving behind houses, terraces, gardens and all sorts of little details to discover. There is no objective, pressure or complexity to the game just an open sandbox for you to create your colourful (or monochrome) island city. The building process itself is also remarkably simple – just tap to add a block, short hold to remove one and long hold to change its colours. The game is set on a warped grid allowing for some interesting curves and narrow streets as you build your city. The game allows you to build a procedurally generated city. Townscaper is a city building game like no other, made by developer Oskar Stålberg (creator of Bad North as well).
