Progress autosaves to the Autosave slot every few days.
Starting a new city replaces the Autosave — keep your current game by saving it to a slot first.
Goal: be the first tycoon to reach the target net worth — open Stats to see your goal. Go two days in the red and you're bankrupt.
Build shops on empty lots. Residents shop by price, quality and distance — undercut rivals or out-class them.
Set prices by tapping your buildings. Busy shop? Raise prices. Empty? Cut them or upgrade quality (★).
Deed auctions run every few days. Own a block and every rival building on it pays you daily ground rent.
Grow the city with apartments (more shoppers), hotels (tourist income at night) and parks (quality boost for the whole block).
Place smartly. Complementary shops on one block boost each other; too many of the same kind split the trade.
Watch for events — heatwaves, festivals and slumps swing demand for a few days. Reprice to cash in.
Bank & goals: borrow against your net worth to expand fast (interest is charged daily), and chase the starter objectives to build momentum. Bigger buildings unlock as you grow.
Controls: drag to pan, scroll or pinch to zoom, tap a lot to inspect or build. Keyboard: WASD/arrows pan, +/- zoom, Space pause, 1/2/3 speed, B build, Esc close.
