Amazing Quirky Little City Builder!
Dylanjohnston
I LOVE this game so far, right now I’m around level 40 so I’m not too far into it but in terms of a city builder, it’s fantastic. Lots to do and keep track of, very little just waiting around for things to finish. Which that combined with the no IAPs makes for a great combo. The sound design, quests and box dialogue are all great touches. Very fun!
Fun game!

I pre-ordered the game and am enjoying it. Only initial gripe I had was with save game sharing and the developer resolved that with a warning popup and very quickly! This game and the dev is 5 stars!
No iap? Take my money.

I hope this is a trend that continues, gladly giving some cash to encourage the developer. Keep up the good work!
It needs more of everything

This game is fun but it feels like I finished it too quickly. It needs more land to expand too, it needs more things to purchase.. just more in general.
Great but repetitive
Foster_030
Pocket City is a great city building game, taking aspects from the PC version of Sim City. Although the game costs $5, it’s worth it, due to leaving out in-app purchases, something that has ruined much of the genre by making it pay to play. The only thing I would complain about is the repetitiveness. The gameplay, even when not on sandbox mode, tends to get very repetitive and somewhat boring. You quickly reach a point of making thousands a second, making money, little of an issue and leveling up is fairly easy. Although it has these issues, the game is a true interpretation of what a city building game should be and has potential to become an even better game.
Wow!

I have become so addicted to this game. I never pay for games, but I'm really glad I paid for this one. One thing I would like to see is more building customization / themes.
The best city Game EVER

For a long time I had wanted Cities: Skylines, but it is very complex. This game is simple and addictive.
I’m obsessed

From the moment I downloaded till I went to sleep I didn’t stop playing. I reached level 89 and I was mostly done. I love this game, however if you let me complain a bit, I would like the space to be a bit more bigger. I know in SimCity it had this type of map too but I wish it could get bigger. I want to have more population, I also want to grant the demands for more commercial areas or industrials, but I can’t just demolish what I have built. Another thing is the money, I love getting a lot of money but it gets to a point that I don’t have anything to use it on, and I just keep getting more money. Apart from that, I really love the game. I have recommended to everyone I know.
Not as Broken as I thought

Bought this because it app of the day. It is hopelessly broken. If you play on hard, once you get to level 27, money stops. No matter what you do, no more money. Well, except for endless fireworks displays. Since the fireworks display event is also broken, you can keep hitting it repeatedly to level up and many levels give you more money. Casual level is just a battery drainer. It’s not that it’s too easy, it’s that there is no challenge at all. Just watch the city grow. Hard is broken, but at least it was challenging until level 27. Pass on this one. UPDATE: Yes, as pointed out, the income stopped because my town hall was destroyed. My fault for not noticing. The notice could be a bit bigger but other than that, once I built it back, things started working again. There is still a bug with the fireworks though. If you don’t have a townhall, you can put on as many fireworks shows as you want. This get you experience points and at some levels, you get cash when your city levels up. All in all it is not a bad game. I DO LOVE that there are no micro transactions, thank you.
No IAPs!

Thank you! After playing for an hour or so, I am finding the game to be well done. I am looking forward to updates! Thank you, developer, for not going the route of in app purchases! Hopefully more ethical developers like yourself will abandon the IAP business model all together.
