Welcome to the RetroCon: Cities Alpha 3 prerelease. This is only the prerelease, meaning it's still in development before I finish the release. This isn't the finished game, and I'll update it over time, changing textures and adding features. RetroCon: Cities is a sandbox game revolving around designing your very own city! There is currently no tablet optimization yet. That's coming sometime in the future. ___________________________________________ INSTRUCTIONS: >Use the right and left arrow keys to change what you have selected. >Click on the icon on the sidebar to your left to select what you want to build. >Your city population counter is at the top left. >Click where you want to place your selected build. >You can open the settings menu with the "options" button to your bottom left. >Mute and unmute with the button in the settings menu. >You can clear your city by clicking the 'clear' button in the settings menu. >LEAVE FEEDBACK AND REPORT BUGS!!!
