Thanks for sharing this. This gives me vibes of Project High rise/Sim Tower crossed with a colony game like Utopia. Definitely going to give it a try, never even heard about it before.

Edit: Been playing this today on Steam for a few hours (playing on Linux using proton); it's a delightful and enjoyable game. It's got the right mix of complexity and fun gameplay so far, and is a chill experience. I can see big cities could get a bit more frantic to manage.

I'm surprised it's been out since 2022 (and previously older versions on Itch.io) and only has 200ish reviews - this game deserves more attention. It's a complete game, is fun and well made. It's not going to be a blockbuster, but anyone who likes management games, colony sim games and tower building games like Sim Tower or Project Highrise should give it a go; it's a nice fusion of them.

It's more on the casual/chill end of the colony sim spectrum to be clear - it doesn't have the punishing elements of games like Oxygen Not Included or the combat/story elements of Rim World. But that's not to suggest it's a casual game - there is definitely depth here. It's a little gem all of it's own.

Your description of the vibes are spot on.

It really is SimTower/Project Highrise/Mad Tower Tycoon but in a sci-fi colony builder setting.

You can also build insane skyscraper designs with giant aquariums, natural habit zones, hippie sanctuary zones and much more.

It's a very fun game. Can be challenging in the initial playthroughs, although subsequent ones tend to be easier once you figure out the management aspect.

Do check it out, I don't think you will be disappointed.

I can strongly recommend this game. The graphics are somewhat simple, but it provides you with a lot of freedom in building beautiful skyscraper cities on flying islands while still having at least somewhat challenging gameplay.
