The Block

The Block is the world's smallest city builder. Place randomly generated buildings on a square and build up a tiny but perfectly formed city block! It's a very small game - more of a tiny little toy with no goals or challenges - hence the very small price :)

Curator Review

Recommended

By Cartogaming August 10, 2023

“A tile-based urban design sandbox, similar to Townscaper or the creative mode of Dorf Romantik, but with a narrower focus, lower-res graphics and a slightly more awkward interface. Still worth a play.”

About This Game

NOTE: This is a very small game - more of a tiny little toy really, with no goals or challenges - hence the very small price 🙂

The Block is the world's smallest city builder - a bite sized experience for city builder fans short on time / money / attention / all of the above. Each level is slightly different and can be completed in a matter of minutes. Build up a tiny but perfectly formed city block from randomly generated tiles, try out a variety of colour palettes and map sizes, then sit back, relax, and bask in the glory of your adorable creation!

Like my last project The Ramp, The Block is designed more as a ‘digital toy’ than a game: a short, satisfying experience that’ll make your day a little bit better and costs less than a slice of pizza.

Thanks for checking out my page! If you have any questions or feedback, I’m all ears.
