Community Insight:
This game is awesome. We love the buildings you can choose from. The cars, the cities, although, there is a con: its mainly just, waiting. Waiting to get enough money for buildings. But still, we like it.
There are ways to spend real money in the app, but they dont bother you with pop ups and reminders to do pay options. Its easy just, relaxing, and fun. Like a simpler version of the original SimCity for computers.
Game is very addicting. Hopefully there will be new lands and buildings soon.
Very simplistic yet entertaining game, no ads is a huge plus.
Bit city is so much fun and a great time killer love it highly recommend.
There should be a night mode and weather and the cars should make noise other than this game is perfect.
We dont if this has been mentioned but the few songs they have for the soundtrack absolutely SLAP.
Ive played this on and off for years on different platforms. The IAPs are reasonable, the gameplay is fun, the voxel sprites are adorable – a little slow to start but it gets moving soon enough. Definitely holds up well after all of these years.
A great game we love and its super fun.
You filled out a very nice review for us and we could have just hit enter but we really dont like the attempt to put words in our mouth! We are playing the long game here and we do find that part interesting. Not sure how long it will take.
We love going back and improving each time-.
Love building cities but just want better present rewards for higher levels of cities.
Its simple but is a great way to pass while waiting for something. Its clever.
We love the games made by Nimblebit. Theyre fun and great for passing the time :).
We love this game, one of the few idle games that has a satisfying long term progression. Our only recommendation is that the free bonus reward scales somewhat with game progress. When Im on city 18 and get a reward of 1 buck, it feels like a waste to even claim it.
We love this game, lots of different buildings to unlock to help progress faster. We love how it feels like sims but you don't need to take care of the citizens. We've restarted over 6 times now and we have 2,000,000% boost. Need more room to grow! Possibly mars addition.
Bit City is a great game! We like how there is no forced ads. The only thing we think would be cool to add is maybe auto build.
We have been playing this game since 2017 and we came back recently and thankfully it is as amazing as it was back then. The progression system is nice and simple and its very engaging coming back. The Devs are great, we needed to restore our purchases after coming back and they indeed gave them to us after we contacted them by email. Dani was great support and we are now going to cntinue to support this gam.
We have had this downloaded for a year or two now and just finished city 16. It took so long but its the perfect idle clicking game. We think we spent $10 total to have the fast paced collecting and we opened the piggy bank twice. Im not a big fan of spending money on mobile games, but to us, this was worth it. Our time vs money spent was great. We really hope they add more cities (Maybe on Mars?!) that would be awesome. We want to keep progressing haha.
Really fun and easy to get, enjoying it a lot so far.
Hi we think we found a bug. Not that it Really matters but the key count is different on the main screen and the screen when you click on it. One says 3571 and one says 3517. Weird! Good game tho. Casual and good balance of ads and gameplay.
We only have a lilbit thing to say. That Private Plane needs to be slightly Regulated. He flies outside defined zones, and is breaking Speed Regulations! Haha! Great game! Generous is the one word review on our end. Have fun building! Plus? No forced ads. No forced pay. Nimblebit should be Nationally Recognized.
We love this game!! Its so simple but we think they should add trains.
This game gives you bucks randomly and often!!! No ads unless you desire faster progress!!! Finally a tapping game one can leisurely play for free.
This city game is relaxing and fun at the same time you can unlock buildings planes boats and bridges its kinda like simcity and having a little city in ur hands is one of a fun thing.
Mostly looking for an idle city builder game thats non landscape and found this again awesome and great to just play and work on.
Why? Because they are one of the very, very few that dont shove ads down your throat while playing! Sure, they give you a choice if you want to watch an ad for a reward than you can. Our wife completely finished Tiny Towers Vegas! And now her and we both have started on the second version. Love the games! Keep them coming! UPDATE: we FINISHED WITH 578,000 Prestige keys! We believe 2 months! And watched roughly 102,456 x2 Ads.
We absolutely love the game we do wish there was an auto collect coin and dollar feature tho.
We love bit city! Its so pretty and fun. Its a good time killer but its still a good game, not like some mobile games… Ive been looking for a house or city game like this for so long! But city has almost no ads (unless you want rewards!) and no annoying pop ups. We literally dont have any complaints! (we rated 4 stars instead of five because we havent finished the game yet, so in our opinion we cant yet rate it 5 stars).
Its a really great game if you want to build a city on a pastime. The ads are pretty much optional so theyre not all in your face. Our only problem really is that you cant customize your city the way you really want. Sure you can choose the type of building and lock in the ones you want, but waiting for specific buildings to be randomly built on the chosen lot can take forever (sometimes not even happening). Also you cant rotate buildings nor the city itself. Done buildings look awkward the way theyre oriented (ex. Parking lot facing inward instead of towards the street).
Like the game. Its a good idle game. The only thing is that Im not sure the keys even do anything. We dont see the +122% to our income.
We like this game. We really really like this game. We really sincerely wish there was an option in the buildings catalog to automatically mark specific buildings as historic, it would be VERY helpful with the quests that are just having x number of z building. We know it's been six months since this game got an update and we may very well be screaming into the void but here's to hoping.
Overall we love it. We think it is set up well and each new building is so exciting that we were to mark them as historical every time lol. We would love to see that each lot size wasnt dependent on previous purchases. Like if we buy a smaller lot, the larger ones dont increase in price. That would make the game more enjoyable. We also like how you can upgrade the bank and each city you build you make profit off of. We just wish they told us this we. The beginning. Overall we love this game we just wish there was a strategy to get around certain things like more bux and coins without spending all the bux. But all of this said we still havent gotten to city 6 so maybe thats just us.
Absolutely love love love this game! Art style is so cute and we LOVE decorating and planning our towns and making cute little cities. HOWEVER, it totally defeats the purpose of adding such a featureful camera when you cant toggle the auto-construction on/off. Every time we try to take a picture there are tons of construction sites all over and it looks so ugly!! We just stopped buying the auto-upgrade but there are multiple upgrades for it so its such a waste!! Please add that small feature and this game will be so much more fun for decorating and city-planning!! We need cute photos.
Cant create a account for cloud save Error cant send email Try again.
We really like this game a lot, but we feel like they havent added anything new in a long time. Add more buildings and landmarks please! Big Ben, the London Eyenew things would make this game feel a lot more fun.
Bit City is really cool. Its all about collecting money. But you have to be very patient for the people to pay their taxes. You should not spend YOUR money on raising taxes, like we used to do (and still do). Like we said, its really cool. Try Bit City now! :).
We have been playing this game for a long time and they are not giving us the prestige bonus added onto the per second amount.
We think this game would be ten times better if you made a building rotating system for buildings we gamble for the building that we want with the angle we want it to be in. Pls make this and also make a sandbox mode ? It just came up in ma head.
The missions get stuck so you cant get many bux except for collecting them from cars, boats, and planes or paying for them really needs fixed.
Been playing this wonderful game for years and years on several devices very smooth excellent strategy and sequential timing decision game. Somethings not right, just did the update on two devices glad we didnt do it on the rest because everything is jerky and one of our phones CPU is overheating. We sent a bug report and theyre right its simple to do but we havent got an answer in a few days maybe theyre really busy? Meantime how do we go back to an older version at least until we fix this.
The game can be relaxing but the ad structure is horrible. Five screens, numerous countdown clocks, and thats just for each one you touch. Kinda like SimCity but less control.
We went into this game hoping to be able to build our own city with Bitizens running around going about their days and that we would be able to place buildings, roads, etc. Where and how we wanted to meet our Bitizens needs. Instead, we were met with an arcade style game where we just keep tearing down old buildings to put up random new ones in the same set spots until Ive completed the city (level) and move on to the next. You can make the buildings historic to keep it the same building as the previous level, but what is the point of that? Why can we not choose what buildings we build when we buy the zone? Why do we have to leave it to some random chance to get buildings we want. The game is just clicking build at the bottom and waiting for it to build in the same place you have things, clicking coins over cars you buy for no one, and just watching your money go up. THIS GAME IS A GLORIFED COOKIE CLICKER, NOT A CITY BUILDER. The whole charm of Tiny Tower was having each individual Bitizen with their own jobs and stuff. We think reworking this game into a true city builder would be a great idea, even if its just a new game. Make it so we can actually build a city, have Bitizens that live in each house with wants and needs, bitizen politics, natural disasters. Theres so much potential, but the game we have now is just so bland and played out.
We cant get past level 8. Our population 1.10 mil. Says needs 1.11 with no way to add more houses or cars. Everything been bought. Vehicles. Boats. Airplanes. No slots left for any building Sad.
Its not really a strategy game but its more just clicking the upgrade button and waiting for it to be ready. Very boring in our opinion.
This has become an old game and very much outdated by game standers of today. Game needs an update badly. Support for updating appears very limited. We think it can be a great game again if designers would put time in to it.
Interesting fun technological advancement game; fast paced.. :).
This is the best game ever made!we love the peanut park city.the best thing about the game is upgrades.
We love it! In our opinion this is the perfect incremental game. Challenging but there is still always something to do/work toward. 10/10.
We like everything about this game, from the music, to the graphics and style, and the actual game play its self. Im not super far yet, but the only thing we think its lacking would be just a little bit more depth, wether its its people walking around or Sony else you have to manage,.
