About this game

BuildYourTown is a full isometric city-builder running in the browser with local saves. Pick one of five maps, lay roads, rail and power lines, then zone residential, commercial and industrial districts. Districts grow only with a nearby road, power, water and reachable jobs, and transport plus land value decide their density, merging into 2x2 and 3x3 towers. A monthly budget, loans, ordinances and three difficulty levels keep the pressure on, while fires, floods, tornadoes and earthquakes can undo years of work. Six months in the red and the council ends your term.
