A short and cheap comfy game based around building a small street. There's not much to say, 5 introductory missions - in which you'll see all the game has to offer before being let loose into sandbox to see the same things again but without incentive (e.g. completion) driving you.

The credits highlight that was made in a short dev time, and that's still impressive - but as a product it feels kinda hollow. The systems (recipe/menu catering, cats, bikes/etc) that are present are good and would be complimented nicely if the selection of builds, environments & more missions were bigger. I think I'd like a bit more interactivity, outside of clicking cats, cyclists and rubbish (trash to my american comrades) you aren't really engaging with the street you've made outside of the planning.

All of this said, it's like £4 so I feel bad asking for more. I would definitely pick up a small supporter DLC or further content release if one was made available.

Ultimately, it nails the comfy aesthetic, and the missions are simple and stress-free while still requiring some planning though I wish there was more to do or see after completion. The credits play over a nightime scene, for example, which would've been nice to experience whilst playing (and it's right there in the game already!)
