Cross those 't's
- Teeny Tiny Town turns two this week
- And Short Circuit Studios are celebrating with a mini-crossover of their recently released Townsfolk
- Unlock a new theme for Teeny Tiny Town that makes it resemble the eight-bit strategy puzzler
Short Circuit Studios is one of those developers that seems to be an ever-present aspect of our reporting. For good reason, too, as whether it's Teeny Tiny Trains or Tiny Connections, they're always bringing new and interesting twists to different genres. Now, one of their highlights is turning two as Teeny Tiny Trains greets its anniversary with a new crossover!
The award-winning city puzzle builder sees you taking on the task of building up your own little town from nothing. Simply merge three of the same thing, and slowly work your way up from simple trees to sprawling high-rises and a vast cityscape.
Now, to celebrate two years since launch, Short Circuit Studios are tying in one of their more recent releases, Townsfolk, with Teeny Tiny Town by offering a new theme unlockable via a quest. This changes the graphics to resemble the eight-bit visuals of Townsfolk in a fun little easter-egg for fans of the studio.
Short Circuit Studios have good reason to be proud of Teeny Tiny Town, as this award-winning city-building puzzler is what caught many critics' eyes. And with its simple mix of merge mechanics and the evergreen appeal of building up a city from nothing, I'd anticipate many more years of success.
While Townsfolk may not necessarily be as long-lasting, our reviewer had a fun time with it and gave it a respectable 3/5. Jack Brassell pointed to a steep learning curve and somewhat generic tone, especially compared to the stand-out aesthetic of Short Circuit's other releases.
But if you'd like to put your strategic mindset to the task, there are plenty of options out there. Be it building a civilisation to stand the test of time or taking on alien invaders from beyond, it's all there in our list of the top 25 best strategy games for iOS and Android!
