Looking for playtesters for my indie city-building and traffic simulation game

Hi everyone!

I'm a solo indie developer working on a city-building simulation game, and I'm looking for people who would be willing to try it and share some honest feedback.

The game focuses on building and managing a small city where your decisions affect how everything works.

Current features:

  • ๐Ÿš— Traffic simulation with individual cars and residents traveling to work
  • ๐Ÿ  Residential, commercial, office, and industrial buildings
  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ City economy, taxes, businesses, and employment
  • ๐Ÿญ Factories, shops, and goods transportation
  • โšก Electricity and infrastructure management
  • ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ Road construction and traffic management

My goal is to create a city builder where players can experiment with different layouts, solve traffic problems, manage their economy, and develop their own strategies.

The game is still in early development, so some mechanics may be unfinished or unbalanced.

I'm especially interested in feedback about:

  1. Is the gameplay interesting and enjoyable?
  2. Are the mechanics easy to understand?
  3. Does managing traffic and the economy feel rewarding?
  4. What feels frustrating, confusing, or unnecessary?
  5. Would you want to keep playing after 20โ€“30 minutes?

You don't need to write a long review. Even a few honest thoughts would help me a lot!

Thank you to anyone who gives it a try! I'm developing this project independently, and your feedback will help me decide what to improve next.

game does not start in fullscreen it makes it hard to read on my macbook air 13

Thanks for the feedback! I've fixed the fullscreen issue. You should now be able to play in fullscreen mode, making the UI easier to read on smaller screens. Feel free to give it another try, and let me know if you run into any other issues! ๐Ÿ˜Š

yeah, it's fix, tried really fast, so far no problem to talk about, one question when your on a tool how do you release the tool since "ESC" just throws you out of full screen?
