Description:
Townscaper is an indie video game released in June 2020 by Oskar Stålberg. The game is a minimalistic city builder, featuring low poly graphics and a simple user interface.
Townscaper has no inherent objective or story, and has been described by developer Stålberg as "more of a toy" than a game. Users construct an island town by placing and removing colored blocks on an ocean. Various "rules" dictate these blocks' appearances, with some appearing as spires and others as balconies. This method of rule-based decoration allows arches, gardens, and stairways to be created without specific user instruction.

Townscaper takes place on a large distorted grid set in an infinite sea. This allows for towns that feel more organic and unstructured when compared to similar games that are based on regular grids.
