City Builder

An empty stretch of fenced grassland, rolling hills all round, and a build wheel. Everything else is up to you.

ROADS THAT BUILD THEMSELVES Pick Road, hold the trigger and sweep the laser across the land. Every tile you cross becomes road, and the tiles work out for themselves whether they are a straight, a bend, a T or a crossroads. Add a crosswalk where people cross. Hold B to erase.

HOMES, DOWNTOWN, PARKS Twelve homes from a cottage to a villa, seven downtown blocks and five skyscrapers up to thirty metres, plus trees, fences, planters, parasols, street lights, traffic lights and signs. Point where it goes and it turns to face the nearest road on its own. Place as many as you like, turn one by hand with A, pick anything back up with the trigger.

CARS THAT DRIVE YOUR STREETS Twelve vehicles from a sedan to a fire truck. Point at a road, press the trigger, and the car pulls away and drives your city: straight on, turning at junctions, turning round at dead ends, keeping its distance and stopping for you.

WATCH IT GROW The watch on your wrist counts the people, buildings and cars. Cross a hundred people and it is a village; a thousand, a town; five thousand, a city; twenty thousand, a metropolis. Switch the sky to golden hour and walk your own streets.

Three ready-made towns to start from or take apart, undo, and a city that saves itself. Walk, run or sprint across three hundred metres of land.
