What is River Towns?
River Towns is a level-based puzzle game about restoring rivers and towns in a damaged world. Fit shuffled, differently shaped buildings into limited spaces and connect matching districts for points. Levels add objectives such as regrowing trees and rebuilding monuments, while higher scores unlock more levels.
