Micropolis — a real-time city management simulator 🏙️🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

micropolis [OPTION...]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically, this game simulates building and managing a whole entire city. the goal of Micropolis is to build and design a city — that's the whole vibe, that's the assignment. 📝

the player can mark land as being zoned as commercial, industrial, or residential, add buildings, change the tax rate, build a power grid, build transportation systems and many other actions in order to enhance the city. literally the whole municipal glow-up package. ✨🏗️⚡🚧

main character energy: you. the city: your project. the tax rate: your problem now 😭
