It’s rated 4+ and currently has 15,500+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Land Builder Stand Out
Land Builder is a puzzle game that lets you dream, a relaxing game that lets you expand your horizons, an adventure game that lets you build the world you want to see.
► AN ENGAGINGLY SIMPLE PUZZLE
A simulator game where you build a whole world piece-by-piece, Land Builder is designed around a simple principle – just place the hexagonal pieces next to any other piece on the board and expand your world the way you want to – but offers hours and hours of construction simulator fun and relaxing entertainment.
• Place the next piece on the board and rotate it to match the pieces next to it in the way you want, defining the coastlines and urban boundaries on your map.
• Each piece you place earns you stars, and the as the number of stars increases, you unlock new world-building features such as factories, farms, oil rigs, monuments, leisure facilities and other infrastructure that add further variety to your ever-growing world.
• You also earn improvements to different elements of the visual aspects of Land Builder, making the details of towns, countryside and the sea richer, clearer and even more attractive.
► A WORLD-BUILDING MEDITATION
The horizon is endless in Land Builder, and the simple simulator system is designed specifically to make this puzzle adventure relaxing rather than frustrating.
• Soothing music, gentle sound effects and attractive graphics all contribute to the game’s anti-stress properties, making playing the game more like a satisfying and absorbing meditation than a challenging and enervating puzzle.
• There are no wrong answers or false moves in the game, and you can always undo your last move.
• Whenever you have a few minutes free and just want to relax, you can dive into your own little world and enjoy the serenity and creative satisfaction of Land Builder.
► A PERFECTLY RELAXING ADVENTURE
Land Builder opens up a whole world of possibility that can fire your imagination and boost your creative impulses.
• Combine elements of countryside, town and sea in any way that you want, building a world of little villages, a series of picturesque islands or a bustling seaside city – it’s entirely up to you how the landscape develops.
• As you advance through the game and build out the world of your dreams, you also earn bonuses that increase your opportunities to alter and adapt the lands you have already constructed, allowing you to redesign the world you’re building or just smooth out any imperfections.
• Zoom out to see the whole expanse of the world you’ve constructed or zoom in to see the beauty of each little piece up close.
Looking for a casual puzzle game that’s engaging, relaxing and creative? Download and play Land Builder now and get ready to expand your horizons.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is so fun and we really like it, but its so easy for you guys to add an in app purchase to remove ads. Please. We beg of you.
Literally just charge us a few bucks to remove the adds and Id be a happy camper we appreciate keeping it free, but we love this game enough that we think just an optional add-free version would be awesome. Besides that, this game is really addictive and fun. But the constant unskippable ads make it hard to play consistently.
We really love this game but there are way to many ads. It auto plays the sound of the ads over our airpods and interrupts our podcasts, which we mainly listen to while playing this. Please add an in app purchase to remove them.
We think that there should be a infinite game mode where it goes forever because we like looking at the citys.
If you love hex based world building, this is for you. Easy gameplay, nice aesthetic. Please let us pay a couple bucks to have no ads.
We love this game. Despite it being easy, its just engaging enough to not be mind numbing. We want to play it, and am about to turn off our internet on our phone just to be able to play uninterrupted. We would gladly drop a few bucks to not have to deal with constant intermittent ads. We know Im not the only one, please listen to your players.
Please give us a way to pay once to remove the extra ads. We dont mind the bonus content ads, but the number of random ads is distracting from gameplay. The bug with skipping bonuses is also frustrating.
Its a free game, so we get it – the ads are necessary to make money. But theres no option to pay to remove them and they play way too frequently. Want a bonus tile? Watch an ad. Choose to skip the bonus? Guess what, you still have to watch the ad anyway.
This game is so fun & has so much potential BUT the bug infested ads single handedly kill this game. Ads are 24/7 and they make the game freeze & crash. Leaves a cheap, tacky feeling when the game is actually fun.
This game is so fun and addicting but every time we open it we get stuck on the loading screen.
We just downloaded this game. And now we will be deleting it. 3 ads a level? And then another when the level is done? Thats too much man. Maybe id want to watch the ad for the special lots if we werent being pummeled with them already. Not that ur gonna care tho.
Its a fun and relaxing game but there are too many ads. We would also love to see an endless mode added.
We love this game a lot, its peaceful and fun. However it crashes ALL THE TIME and doesnt save our progress. We dont know if its because we have an older tablet or what, but please fix this bug.
Enjoyable game but way too many ads and occasional crashes.
Game play is supposed to be relaxing, but ads pop up way too often.
Please please please give us the ability to pay for ad removal. We will gladly throw some dollars at you. The ads are (1) so so many (2) distracting from the peaceful nature of the game and often force sound (3) entirely too long based on the frequency of ads (4) did we mention SO MANY OF THEM. PRETTY PLEASE.
We love this game and while the ads arent great, they dont prohibit us from playing. Our problem is that the game crashes during or after 99% of the ads. It is hard to make progress this way. There is also no convenient way to contact the developers. The game keeps evolving and improving except for our crash issue.
ALSO, on the tech tree, the ad hides the menudo the only way to get out is by quitting the game. Who designs a game where you have to quit to progress.
This game has so much potential! When we first played it we fell in love! Such a great concept and the execution was great. Until we played it a bit more and realized the ads were out of control. We understand they need to pay the bills. Why is there no paid version without ads? This game would easily be worth $5(maybe more if some more work was put into it). However as it is now we would not recommend this game. Around every 10 tiles placed(less when you get further into it) you will get an ad. Even when you skip a reward they will play an ad. And if you think, well Ill just take the upgrades then. Problem then occurs where you get more stars quickly which causes more ads to occur. After 40stars you get a choice to watch an ad for a bonus, the bonus makes you get more stars per tile, basically causing the ads to be more frequent. Its mind blowing oversight in the design. These ads Will auto open the App Store. They also will lag the game frequently. We just dont get it. This game breaks our heart. The ads are just for other garbage games too, are they even making money off this game? Sad.
Ill watch ads if its a choice and we get extras. Forced ads = delete app.
You can win a level, but often the game fails to recognise you have won, and then you have no choice but to throw everything away and start again. This level of stupid game bug is absurd. If they havent fixed it yet, they just dont care. Or, and maybe this is more accurate, they are hoping youll pay to end a level you already beat.
Dorfromantik deserves better than this.
A few days ago we watched RTGame play a game called Dorfromantik a game where you match hexagonal tiles to create a landscape and only today did we realize that this game and Dorfromantik are different games that feel suspiciously too similar too each other. Except this one is free and bombards you with ads, Id rather pay $10 for the original game.
Non stop, super annoying constantly popping up ads, and no option to pay a few bucks to make the stupid madness stop Im getting ready to drop the game because we cant go a whole lvl without dealing with almost 40 ads.
If there was an option to pay to turn off ads permanently Id happy do it. As it is, Im deleting the game. The length and frequency of the ads make it unplayable. Even if you skip a bonus to avoid an ad, it still plays one about half the time, and you dont even get the bonus! So obnoxious.
We love this game but the amount of ads gets pretty annoying. Normally its something we expect but we enjoy this game enough that we were hoping we could buy an ad free version. If this feature was added we would definitely purchase it as the game is worth it! We also would love an endless mode.
Tons of fun and love the graphics. Please offer a paid version without ads. The ads dont load well and make it very difficult to play the game without constantly reloading the app.
Its very frustrating to have to restart the game so often, especially when it takes the game a whole minute to load.
This is a great game! We have an issue with the ads. You have the option to skip and not have an ad, but it give you one anyway. Every 50 stars. The problem is, we have upgraded our tiles so they give us more stars when we put them down. Which means we get an ad every 8 tiles or so. Its very annoying. We would pay for no ads if given an option.
We really enjoy this game and want to be playing it constantly since we downloaded it. However, the app takes considerable time to load in, it buffers frequently during game play and the mandatory ads crash the app more often than not. Would love to see this fixed. Really cool game design that we really enjoy.
Every level has 4-6 ads you cannot avoid. Just stop with all the ads already.
So we were playing and suddenly we ran out of tiles, and it didnt give us more, it didnt offer to take us to the next level, it didnt do anything. And it was really annoying! We found no way to fix the problem while still keeping the progress on our level, so we just deleted the app. Please fix this bug!!!! Anyway, overall it is a really fun game but it definitely needs a few bug fixes. Sorry but because of the bug we can only leave two stars.
First off, allot of people probably have no idea but this is a direct copy of dorf romantik, a very visually beautiful and peaceful game you can get on steam on your pc. The only difference here is the dull art used to make the tiles, theres mountains but no trains or railways, random structures youre forced to earn by watching a ad when youre too good at the game (even when we decline), you watch more ads to get bonuses whether you want to or not, and then you watch ads to get single use abilities. Basically every time you play one level, youre going to watch about five ads every. Single. Time. And then if you resume playing a world when the level is complete, youre gonna continue watching ads until you have no more tiles! Theres no meditation in seeing royal match ads 20 times inna row, we would rather pay fully for the original dorf romantik on mobile even if its the same price as it is on steam than this.
Honestly, the ads were a bit much. We quit after maybe the fifth because we were tired of having to wait to keep playing the game. Just get Dorkromantik for the switch or pc. Exact same game but without the ads. Great music for a relaxing type of gameplay without ads to interrupt your experience.
This is honestly one of the best cellphone games we have ever played but the ads every 5 moves make the game unplayable. Its so disappointing, if there was a way to pay to remove ads we absolutely would.
So many ads. The long ones you cant skip.
Please for the love of god let us pay you to stop the forced ads like literally every other game.
This game make a porn site blush with the amount of pop up ads that it has.
We adore this game and find it super relaxing, but we wish there was a purchase option to turn off ads. Also the game or the ads in the game make our phone run hot and thats not great.
Just another manipulative cash grab, brought to you by apple and the class warfare have and have nots pay to win players.
If you want a similar game without ads (and dont mind paying), Dorfromantik exists and has been out since 2021. Its cute and calm, and has challenges and a creative/free play mode.
We would love to be able to pay to remove ads, because once you get going they start to hit every few minutes so we stop playing out of frustration. Let us get rid of ads.
Cute and fun game pretty relaxing and feels like a puzzle game this game is really cute and fun.
We love playing this game, we really want to rate 5 stars! Its lots of fun HOWEVER there are so many ads!! Any time you get a bonus in a level you get to choose to watch an ad for a bonus prize but then they force you to watch the ad anyways? So why even ask if we want to watch the ad? Anyways. We feel like this game would be better if they offered an ad free purchase so the only ads youd have to watch would be bonus ads. Besides that the game is super fun and easy and all of the cute areas and production tiles are very well designed.
The ads are unusually misleading, long, and disruptive. Not worth anyones time.
Such a fun, relaxing game. If only we could get rid of the ads. It takes the whole game from relaxing to unbearable. Ive only had the game for 24 hours but Im already ready to uninstall.
This game is very fun but lately when we click an ad for a reward nothing happens. Then we click skip and immediately an ad opens. So literally steals our rewards.
Interesting game, but there ads caused us to delete it.
This is the longest Ive played a game that has as many ads as this one. We would love to buy it and spend extra to not have ads or only have optional ads, but this is too much and we wont be doing it too much longer.
While gameplay and the concept are quite enjoyable, the amount of ads is killing the whole experience. It will throw an add at you every few minutes. We wish there was an option to pay for an ad-free version. We like the game, but we cannot keep playing with constant interruptions.
