About the Game

Build upwards. Optimize everything. Survive the system.

CityPunk is a vertical, tile-based city-building puzzle set in a dense cyberpunk megastructure. Instead of expanding outward, you stack districts layer by layer, working within tight space constraints while balancing the needs of residents against the demands of a powerful corporation.

Every placement matters. Buildings interact with their neighbors in all directions, creating a system where small decisions ripple outward into complex outcomes. Designing an efficient city is not just about growth, it’s about mastering the relationships between structures, resources, and people.

At its core, CityPunk blends the clarity of grid-based placement with deeper systemic planning. Each district becomes a self-contained optimization challenge, where you manage limited space, local production, and stability to enable further vertical expansion.
