Our take on Tile Town
The defining loop is arranging neighboring building tiles on a hexagonal grid: each tile has preferred neighbors, and high scores depend on finding suitable placements.
What is Tile Town?
Tile Town is a medieval-themed strategy game built around placing building tiles on a hexagonal grid.
Each tile favors particular neighboring tiles, so placement affects the score. Perfect placements earn bonuses, and reaching score thresholds grants additional batches of tiles before the supply runs out. The game includes 10 levels and a procedurally generated island, with more tile types and levels to unlock. Tiles have randomized appearances. Players can compare scores on Steam leaderboards or switch to a first-person view and walk around the town. The game has no combat, resource management, 4X strategy mechanics, or multiplayer.
