The experience on both devices feels great, with the iPad giving you a nice, wide view and lots of room to tap accurately without having to do much pinching to zoom, while the iPhone version has a super convenient portrait mode layout that lets you build one-handed or on-the-go really easily. Both captures are from an initial boot of Townscaper so you can see just how much the game just dumps you into the creation process and relies on its own ease of use and intuitive design to let you figure it out.
In case you're not sure the degree to which this sounds like it's for you or not, check out the footage capture in the video above to get a sense of how it plays and controls on iPad and iPhone. Playing it feels way more akin to doodling around or any other relatively open creative exercise as opposed to playing something that challenges you to reach or work toward a specific end state or goal. To further customize your creations, you can change the color scheme you're working in at will, adjust the colors of already-placed items with a quick tap and hold, use lighting tools to dramatically light your towns, and a few different ways to save and share your creations easily.ĭespite all of these tools, it makes perfect sense for Oskar Stålberg, the creator of Townscaper, to describe it as more of a toy than a game. It's just you and your creativity collaborating with a tool that works to make sure everything you construct looks like it belongs together. There are no stated goals, objectives, or even a story to follow along. At any point you can tap elsewhere to begin making new areas to work with, and if they are close enough together they'll pop together and transform into a cohesive whole. Initial taps make a road or walkway pop up, but tapping that roadway makes a house, and then a tower. In it, you simply tap around on a body of water to make algorithmically-generated town pieces pop into existence. If you haven't come across gifs or video of it in action, the idea is quite simple.
