Evaluation

Island Cities - Jigsaw Puzzle is a standalone casual puzzle game that launched on August 30, 2022 with 20+ diorama-like island puzzles. The developer's news posts since launch are almost entirely focused on a separate game in their catalog — Meow Moments: Celebrating Together — which has received a steady stream of paid DLC expansions (Valentine's Day, Olympicats, Comic Cat Con, Music Festival, The Old Kingdom, and The New Frontier). None of this DLC or content activity is for Island Cities itself. The one noteworthy post specific to Island Cities was a April 27, 2023 feature patch adding gamepad and keyboard controls. There are no announced DLC, no roadmap, no outstanding content commitments, and no developer statements indicating further content is planned for Island Cities. The store description describes the game as a complete 20+ island experience with no indication of future additions. The game appears to have launched as a finished product and received only one quality-of-life patch since release.

About this game

Cities are usually concrete jungles, noisy and stressful.

But you can also entertain yourself by looking at how they are organized, finding interesting details, and seeing life unfold. Then you can see that they are also vibrant and full of life.

Here, the cities are set up on islands over calm and clear water.

In this tiny fantasy building experience, it is easy to do and very relaxing, just like a 3D jigsaw puzzle.

Carefully observe the island, try to memorize it, then shuffle the blocks. Swap blocks to reproduce the desired island and the city will emerge .

There is no time limit, logic challenges, or resources to manage, so you can calmly focus on the core mechanics while listening to a soothing soundtrack.

  • Click on two blocks to swap them;

  • Turn the camera freely around the island;

  • Move the camera as you wish;

  • Zoom in and out to see details or the big picture;

  • If you need, preview the expected arrangement.

  • 20+ diorama-like islands.

See your island come to life as you complete certain sectors.
