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.
