    I was also incredibly impressed with the quality of this game from a studio I haven't even heard of before, I'll definitely be checking it out further to see if it's worth buying. It seems inspired by the Impressions city builder series, but without the mind-numbingly stupid things involved. In this, you build a city and it's actually fun, fluid, and logical, whereas the city builder series often made me want to gouge my eyes out with a pen knife with the retarded road strategies and block strategies that were nearly required to play the game efficiently, ending up with terrible cookie cutter series. This game fixes that. Though in Impression's defense, it would have been difficult to do something like this on a 2D engine.

    I enjoyed the demo... easy to learn, intuitive interface, pretty well polished. Perhaps a little too simplistic, doesn't allow you much control over citizens, and resources. Nothing serious if you don't like micro managing such things. Its almost a total rip off Impressions Games historical simulation series which is not necessarily a bad thing if you're like me and enjoyed their games (Caesar, Zeus, and Pharoah) They left out a few aspects such as citizens don't need to pass structures for effect, otherwise it feels the same. If its cheap, I might buy it...
