This has the makings of a compelling game but it isn't there yet. I love the idea of a tetris like city builder but found this game to be more frustrating than fun. First off the game lacks goals. I have no idea of what I'm trying to accomplish and what triggers the win condition. In the Mayhem mode, there are varies perks awarded but I didn't really get what they did and why I would select one over another. I found …

A cosy, cute, and minimalistic arcade city builder that feels like Tetris, featuring several building colours and shapes, along with a satisfying stack ‘em up loop. Offering 5 game modes, 9 maps, and 3 difficulties, it’ll keep you busy. It might not keep you hooked for long, but for the price, it's a delightful distraction. Game Mode Description Mayhem Race against the clock to grow your city, hit the target …

Difficult recommend. The time limits are extremely low (especially Square Stack) for placing blocks/units, so it stops being "challenging" pretty quickly and just becomes too annoying to be fun in any mode, except Zen. Even the "Relaxing" difficulty gets sweaty. The camera and block rotations can be buggy sometimes, which is an extra painful nuisance when you're already low on time. If the timing element were more …

Mini City: Mayhem is a compact yet cleverly designed city-building experience that reinterprets the genre through the lens of puzzle logic and time-driven pressure rather than sprawling simulation. Developed by Rogue Duck Interactive in collaboration with cukuto and published by Rogue Duck Interactive alongside Gamersky Games, the game focuses on fast, readable decision-making and creative spatial thinking. Instead …

5 different modes and it feels like 3 different games, there is something for everybody. Cute but challenging.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too many bugs for game like this. bugged camera, uninformative block previews on cards, crane mode has a blocks limit but it is not showing how many left. I remeber a 3d game on mobile phones on Java and that crane game had much more details on background, this game has no background. Looks really lazy. Main gamemode is fun on mayhem difficulty, but outside of that game isn't good. I still hope for good changes later and will change review to positive when i see that. i want to like this…

neutral · AI labelView post →Extremely good deal for its low asking price. Arcade modes are rudimentary, but fun. The Mayhem mode has some unique and clever mechanics making for a good experience, even if the few levels make it a rather limited time-burner ;)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok, real talk. Can you not make it open a webpage on pressing alt+f4? Also controls are terrible.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun and filled with amazing designs!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mini City: Mayhem from @rogueduck.net isn’t your typical city-building game. It’s a fast-paced puzzle challenge, where you race against the clock to build a (mostly) functional city with oddly shaped blocks. Mini City: Mayhem is chaotic, challenging and a total blast!
positive · AI labelView post →Sim city planning meets Tetris in this colourful and fun stack `em up. After a few issues with the game-pad, I switched to mouse and keyboard and everything was fine, I selected the main mode to start my review. Wasn't too long before I got the hang of things, rotating and placing buildings as I tried to stack them as high as possible, you also need to build roads which the buildings require. Colour matching is also important for bonuses and XP, if your money runs out you have to wait a few…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As no doubt many others will have said, this is a city builder/puzzle game, probably 1 part city builder to 2 parts tetris game, for its price i think its fine, for more details check my video. https://youtu.be/-yPvf0do7l8
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Zen mode was what i needed today. Chill game with various modes to get you started. Build a city with city blocks built like tetris. A lot of fun for the price and then some.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mini City Mayhem is a minimalistic arcade-like city building game with a few different game modes. Mayhem: Main game mode, where you race against time in your journey of building your own city. You finish the level when your city is big enough and the last piece of your city, the Landmark, has been placed. It was either losing track of time while building a city to my liking, or losing against time lol Zen: Similar to Mayhem mode, but instead of racing against time, you need to build a city…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has earned the title of Mayhem. It's a chaotic 3D Tetris-like game with dynamic music to fit the ratcheting desperation. My only wish is that the soundtrack would be expanded if possible. Maybe a few more of those relaxing beats that turn up in intensity. A fun game with multiple features to pass the time!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a nice game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cool building game. It has different modes so you can either challenge yourself and play with time pressure or use the zen mode to chill. There are also other modes with completely different gameplay (drop crates from a crane and try to get as high as possible or something like 3d tetris). I had a blast completing this game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Difficult recommend.

If the timing element were more forgiving, it'd be a fun game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun and chill city builder game. I had a great time trying to match blocks/colors to build a nice big city.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the kind of game you can pop up when you need to destress, play Zen mode and just... place buildings where your brain tells them looks pretty, Just sit back and relax... place buildings, fill a cube or Stack till your hearts content.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In a surprising mix between challenge and fun comes the game Mini City Mayhem as a game that balances between the two. The game is a strategy game of the type of stacking components and the goal is to build a city in a limited space and manage it and meet the demands of the citizens.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's a very fun and relaxing game. I definitely recommend you to buy and play it. You can experience many different thrills with various different modes.

neutral · AI labelView post →Mouse speed is good in the game menu, but slowed during the game. This makes the game unplayable. I tried the square stack mode, and mouse cursor moves so slow that time ran out before I could cover the bare surface.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very fun and engaging -- especially with the time restriction -- makes it's very fun to reo mapss and see if you can break your previous records. I would love for them to add more maps!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some really cool ideas! I love the combination of city builder + tetris and the price tag feels fair. That said, there is definitely room for improvement; - I wish the ost were more randomized (songs keep playing in the same order) and they don't quite fit the mood (you're racing against time but it's lo-fi) - there might be too many modes - the buildings could be more varied and feel a bit too similar to Townscaper
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mouse cursor doesn't uses the system speed, the game replaces it by it's own one, fixed to slow. It makes everything painful. Also I don't get why the game is 1Go when it could have been less than 100Mo if the libs and assets had been correctly compressed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →changing my review bc it's not as bad as i thought i think i just got ragebaited
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun little 3d block matching game with quite a few enjoyable modes and a nice price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →-Simple, but challenging. -Multiple game modes for different play-styles/moods. -Easy to pop in and out of without feeling obligated to devote lots of time. -Lots of maps to work towards unlocking, and tons of opportunity at strategy for each stage. -Feels like Tetris and a city-builder all at the same time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/jcuvU0AbWag Stacking block for civil engineering is satisfyingly simple with a nice ramp up in complexity.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute game. Stressful on normal mode, and the exact opposite on Zen mode.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short, challenging, and fun! Great concepts put into practice!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun game with three game modes: crane, city builder, and a tetris-style structure where you aim to build to the highest point possible. Positives 1】There are five game modes: mayhem, zen (no time), square stack (build up layers), crane (balance blocks on-top of each other), and sandbox (unlimited). 2】While playing the standard game modes, there are a lot of community lots, though there may be more. Repair shop: Rerolls/money, Bank: Maximum patience increase, Cafe: Money, Clinic:…

neutral · AI labelView post →A very fun set of puzzle games reminiscent of old flash titles. Pros - Multiple game modes, from a tetris-like to a zen citybuilder - A cute soundtrack that hasn't gotten old - Pretty colors and clean visuals Cons - No hotkeys for faster selection of building pieces - No option for a top-down view - Difficulty is either "None" or "You will lose and fast." - Weak yet incessant tutorial that drops you in without actual strategic guidance. I am not usually a puzzle game player, I…
