A small, yet cute in all aspects, town management game that centers around a lane with a lot of Japanese influence. With its simplistic yet bubbly art style, positive messages, tranquil tracks as well as casual yet somewhat challenging missions it can make for a great way to get out of the hardships of everyday life for a couple of sessions.

Also, you can pet cats and get rewarded for doing so.

A cozy little customization game and absolutely adorable, especially considering the number of people who worked on it and that it only took 6 months!

( + + ) The assets are really pretty and you get quite a lot of customization options, I enjoy the whole pastel aestethic.

( + ) Clever coding: The way the Elderly / Young mechanic was coded was really smart, loved the overall concept a lot.

( + ) The game introduces you to more buildings with every level, aka slow and steady so you got enough time to learn it all.

( + ) Adorable dialogues + sandbox mode!

( + - ) New additions every level, but it still felt a little repetitive eventually! Maybe if the different levels had different cities / cultures / environments? The music also got on my nerves a little haha

( - - ) Was really sad that I wasn't able to save each of my levels and decide on each to restart or not. As soon as you started or replayed a new level, all other saves got deleted.


This game is very cute and fun. I love a good city builder but these days it is hard to find the time to learn and play them. So to take those ideas and boil them down into a simple, short and sweet game is exactly what I needed. After completing the 5 levels, I went back to get the rest of the achievements just because I didn't want to put it down.

Brilliant little game, can't wait to see what this team does next!

It's a cute game that could've benefited from being longer and more customizable. It'd be nice if there was more color/palettes to choose from or the ability to decorate the streets, decorate the other side of the road, etc. Otherwise, I found the levels and overall aesthetics fun. Didn't run into any bugs.

The designs are incredibly cute, and it's a great game to spend a quiet, cozy afternoon.

A wholesome little management game.
Wonderful little game to unwind with after a busy day, the visuals are cute the gameplay is easy to pickup, and bonus you CAN pet the cats. (\ ( ^ w ^ ) /)
