Skyscraper 4D is a new breed of tower building game that lets you design large, complex buildings with remarkable ease.
In this game, you'll serve as architect, engineer, and real estate developer, all at the same time, as you accumulate money and expand the reach of your real estate empire.
You'll control everything from the shape of your buildings, to the placement of columns, walls, elevators, balconies, kitchens, furniture, and more. The tedious work normally associated with construction has been totally automated, letting you focus on the creative side of things!
Skyscraper 4D is easy to pick up, but it strives to stay as close to reality as possible. That means whatever you design needs to be structurally and economically sound. But not to worry, if you run into trouble there are plenty of nifty warning indicators to help you shore things up.
If you like to build things, you've come to the right place!
==============================
Key Features:
• Open World Sandbox Game: Construct as many skyscrapers as you want, in a massive, unrestricted city.
• Total Design Control: In this game, you won’t simply position buildings, you’ll get to design every aspect of the building, including its shape, height, materials, floorplan, and more.
• Intuitive Tutorial: We’ve created a simple and intuitive tutorial to make Skyscraper 4D as easy to learn as possible. No prior building design experience is required!
• Floorpan Tool: You can easily add walls, doors, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, balconies, furnishings, and more to create the floorplan you want.
• Mirroring Tool: We’ve created a tool that lets you quickly design symmetrical buildings by mirroring all of your design actions across the x and/or y-axis of your grid. We also offer an option for mirroring your build actions in a triangular fashion. You can even use them both at the same time!
• Bézier Curves: Easily add curved windows or walls to give your building a unique shape. Just tap on the Bézier Curves button in the build menu.
• Helpful Warning Indicators: When you design something structurally unsound, we’ll show you a warning indicator that will explain the problem clearly, and give you options to help resolve the issue quickly.
• Performance: Skyscraper 4D was built using the Metal API for graphics, allowing us to deliver incredible realism and performance. Every aspect of the game has been tightly optimized to ensure amazing responsiveness, smoothness, and loading times across a wide range of devices.
• Realism: We’ve tried to make Skyscraper 4D reflect the real world. Everything from the visuals of the city (which are loosely based on Manhattan), to the structural and financial components of the game, are intended to mimic reality as closely as possible.
• Soundtrack: We’ve picked out a nice selection of soothing but exciting songs to help keep you in the zone.
• On-Demand Resources: We’ve kept the initial app download nice and small to avoid wasting space on your device. When you open the game on Wi-Fi, we’ll download a few asset packs in the background to enrich the game experience with music and sharper detail.
• No Ads or Endless Wait Times: You won’t need to do a ton of busy work for no reason, or wait ages for money and resources to accumulate.
• Feedback Welcome: We are always looking to improve, and we’d love to hear your feedback! We’ve included a feedback button right inside the game in case you’d like to message us. Alternatively, feel free to send us an email at info@skyscraper4d.com.
I want to start off by saying this game is great for someone who is into the field of architecture and building design, like myself. You can let your imagination go wild and create buildings and skyscrapers that may be impossible to recreate in real life. However, it isn’t perfect. There are many things that can change and should change in order to really help the game become the game it is supposed to be. First, I want to start off with offline money. I find it quite annoying that money cannot be made offline. Despite being a good game, it really drains battery. Especially on lower-end devices. If money could be made offline, we would be able to give ourselves and our devices a break while not having to worry about coming back to only $764,577 left over from the megatall skyscraper you just built. Second, the premium restrictions. While I personally did buy premium, the highest one you can get, I find the starter pack restrictions to be a little too harsh. If these could be eased up in order to give those who cannot or do not want to buy premium a little more freedom, that would awesome. Lastly, and this is the one that really bothers me, we need more “diversity” in our columns and beams. Adding horizontal columns or vertical beams in order to give our buildings more modern looks would be a dream come true. Horizontal columns would allow vertical columns to be placed without having to extend them all the way to the floor, while vertical beams would allow you to build more diverse corners, instead of simple sharp or round edges. While I will continue playing the game, I hope the things listed above will be improved or added to the game. The sky’s the limit.
Update
Kradecki
So, they finally did a new update; gotta say I like some of the new items. However, there are of course, some flaws. Aside from the fact that it was mainly a performance update, it didn’t help at all. I have a brand-new iPhone 11. I opened the app and tried opening my city after the update. It finished loading halfway and then crashed. And I reopened the app and it did the same thing again. I even tried restarting my phone, that didn’t help. Also, what is this weird thing with the floor plan items? Normally I’m used to the glass doors and plain walls enclosing the space and adding floor space and square footage. Now I have to enclose each room by lining it with beams? No! I hate that! Also, the amount of columns needed are unrealistic. There are such things in real life such as load bearing walls and studs. Also, a mirroring glitch with the glass doors. When it is only one handle on the glass door, and I have it mirroring, all of the handles will face either to the left or the right, and it’s super annoying, especially when I want BOTH SIDES to mirror EXACTLY. Another thing, I’m used to the top floor turning into just a roof with a glass wall around it, but now, it uses the top floor’s floor plan items and it looks like rooms without roofs. So that’s annoying. Another thing, it keeps saying this would be supported in a later release, but when exactly are the developers planning on making ground-floor pool and hot tub compatibility? I’m kind of sad that I paid for premium and get an app that crashes and glitches.
Developer Response
Hi there,Thank you for the comprehensive review! We'd like to do whatever we can to resolve each of the issues you are experiencing. Let's go over each item one by one.1. Crash while city is loading: can you please hit feedback -> report a bug, and send us a message, or send us an email at info@skyscraper4d.com so we can troubleshoot this issue further?2. Walls and glass doors not contributing to floor plate shape: this is a good point! We did not want all floorplan items contributing to the shape anymore, but it does make sense for certain key floorplan items to contribute to the floor plate. We'll release an update in the next few days that enables this.3. Number of columns needed: agreed, load bearing walls would be a good addition. We'll try to get this into an update in the near future.4. Glass door mirroring glitch: good catch. We'll have a fix for that in the next release.5. Top floor not turning into a roof: if you hit Levels -> Options -> and enable "Remove all floorplan items from the top level when constructing", that should address your problem. This option should be enabled by default (unless you add roof items on the top floor), but perhaps we need to improve our logic around that.6. Ground floor pools and hot tubs: this one is somewhat complex for us to implement, but if there is demand for it then we'd be happy to do it. We'll definitely make it a higher priority, thanks for the suggestion!Thanks again for writing such a thorough review. If you have any more suggestions or issues you'd like to discuss, please feel free to get in touch with us directly by using the feedback button, or emailing us at info@skyscraper4d.com.
great game; minor flaws
funnyname23
i like the concept of an app where you get to build skyscrapers of your imagination with no interruptions. i love it, but there are some cons to this app that are enough of an impact to the gameplay that i have to mention it. first, money is not made offline, meaning you have to be ON the app in order to make money which is a waste of battery. having to wait for money by afking on the app is very annoying, so id suggest allowing the player to make money offline as well so they can take a break from the app and come back to a good amount of money to start building again. another flaw is how the camera controls can sometimes have a few bugs and your camera ends up flying off the map. fixing this would be greatly appreciated. lastly, some restrictions for non-premium users are too much. i get it, you need money to continue developing the app and you already dont have ads. still, limited undos? that can be severely irritating if you make a major mistake, dont realize it and proceed with another action, and then not being able to undo that. one balcony per floor is also unreasonable imo but limited undos is the main issue. tl:dr - camera bugs, nonpremium restrictions too far, not making money offline otherwise great game
Awesome game, with suggestions
lovefrmhawaii
This game is great if you like architecture and just building things. An early warning- you must pay in the app with actual real life money if you want to have curved façades, more than 4 of each floor plan item on the same floor, and a building above 70 stories, (50 stories is you don’t know the hack). You also need to pay if you want more than 1 balcony per floor. Some suggestions are that maybe if you could add a feature that lets you paste images onto the plot, then you could trace the image with the tools to copy certain floor plans easier?? Also, maybe if we could have the option to create slanted walls and exteriors, and some new assets like ceiling fans, chandeliers, billboards, carpets( to fill empty spaces), bunk beds, and maybe make it so that you can have 2 roof items and amenities per floor without paying? I know this is a lot to ask, but this is still a great game. Thanks
