Tinytopia

Tinytopia is a miniature city-builder with zany levels

Watch out for wind-up toy lizards and UFOs

Weā€™ve built and run virtual cities as omnipotent mayors before, but not quite like this. In MeNic Games and Mastiffā€™s PC city-builder Tinytopia, weā€™re working with wobbly miniatures in precarious places.

The game is less of a typical data-heavy city-builder with lots of minutia to worry about ā€” which can be fun in its own right! ā€” and more of a lighthearted physics-based playground. Youā€™ll stack buildings on top of each other to transform them into ā€œmegastructuresā€ and hope they donā€™t topple over.

Tinytopia also has challenge levels with distinct hooks, whether itā€™s building a well-balanced town on a teetering ruler or crafting an island retreat that can hold up against a knock-off Godzilla wind-up toy.

In a note from the publisher, Mastiff said the team is looking to touch up the game before it releases on Steam this year ā€” they want to improve the UI, tutorials, and writing, add in new level goals and achievements, and work in ā€œa new illustrated Instructor to guide players through Tinytopia.ā€

The game looks cute, which is something Iā€™ve rarely if ever said about a city-builder.
