Billion Citizens is a city-builder balatro-like where you have been elected mayor for one reason only: to have 1 Billion Citizens in your city by the end of your 15th term. 

At the end of each term, if the population has not grown enough, you are voted out!

Key features

- Tile-based city building: Place tiles to grow your city and shape the landscape. Clever adjacency gives you satisfying bonuses, turning each placement into a small victory.

- Tile upgrades: Match four identical tiles to upgrade them into something bigger. Watch tiny hamlets evolve into bustling cities and feel the thrill of “one more move.”

- Decrees: Between terms, choose decrees that reshape the rules. Alter adjacency rules, gain bonuses when aligning tiles, and more!

- Roguelike deckbuilder loop: Start each term by drawing tiles from your deck. Every run feels fresh, pushing you to adapt, experiment and discover new winning combos.

- Survive 15 terms: Face the outrageous challenge of reaching 1 billion citizens. Each round is a test of your growth strategy, and every success feels like beating the odds.

Future plans

This is an early ugly prototype. We mainly want to know if the prototype has enough potential to turn it into a full game on Steam. 

 - Tile customisation: Currently, the deck manipulation is very limited. We have plans to add multiple layers of modifiers to permanently alter the tiles of your deck. 

- Localized modifiers: Have access to powerful modifiers that are only accessible in a few locations on the map. 

- Creative mode: Place tiles as you wish without any restrictions and scoring.

- Actual art and sound design: And of course, swap the dev art and placeholder sounds by work from a professional artist and sound designer.
