Pocket City

I am super enjoying this. It's a very simple sim-city-like game. You don't have to get heady, but it's still fun. Also, kudos to ANY develpper who sells an app for a flat and fair price. It's a blast, and gives me what I need. If I want a more complicated version, I can still buy the bigger apps. This totally hits the spot for now. And it's nice to look at too.

it’ll do. find the necessity to constantly resellect the tool i want to use kinda frustrating. roads don’t seem to support enough zones, imo. seems to play well enough on my 2015 MBP

I love Pocket City on my iPhone and iPad. It's engaging and easy to use. I'm guessing the Pocket City port to macOS wasn't given much thought because it's a real pain to play on the desktop. The mouse cursor is not aligned to the grid: I think I'm clicking postion x2y2, but my road gets laid down at x2y1. I have to click at the very bottom of a grid tile in order to select or lay an object at THAT grid tile. Navigating the map is a little cumbersome. The map isn't always responsive to pinch-to-zoom. Sometimes it doesn't register, sometimes it's slow to react, sometimes it's over-responsive zooming too far in or out. It seems a little silly to see the "portrait/landscape" option in the game menu. And, it feels like an oversight to not make these options available through the app's menu, like one would expect for any other app: [App Name] -> Preferences. Like I said, I *love* Pocket City on my mobile devices. It's too bad that the desktop experience wasn't given any attention.

Then this is the game for you. Simple, intuitive gameplay. Great (but not overdone) graphics. No nickel-and-diming with in-app purchases. I bought this game and then stayed up into the late hours of the night playing it - exactly like I did with the original SimCity. You won't be disappointed.

I wish I bought anything else with my $3, even 12 rock hard gumballs. This is a terrible city builder game. I don't know who this is for, but it seems to miss the entire point of city building. You can't pause, you can't delete. It's just unplayable, I stopped after a minute. And even the non gameplay choices, for the life of me I don't understand. The whole annoying narrative/dialogue stuff... yuck! So slow and boring, no personality. And I despise the graphics (looks like it was made for 2 year olds). This wouldn't be worth downloading if it was free.

I spent 5 years in undergraduate school studying urban planning thinking one day I would be able to build my own city. Hmm, don't think that will ever happen since most plans I sign off on take 3 plus years just to begin production. However, this games brings all my desires to life! I would give it 100 stars if could.

I bought this game on my cell phone and MacBook pro. However, the game is lagging so much right now. I have tried to use lower setting but it’s still pretty laggy. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great game but the performance needs to be improved. My MacBook pro has 16 GB ram, 2.4GHz i5 and 512 MB graphic ram I would think that’s more than enough to run this game.
