In Retro Tower, you plan apartments, offices, hotels and attractions, manage your income and watch daily life unfold in a detailed pixel world. GROW YOUR TOWER, FLOOR BY FLOOR Bring homes, workplaces, restaurants and shops together. Expand to new floors and make room for a cinema, swimming pool, ice rink and more. You decide how your skyscraper takes shape. BUILD, MANAGE AND IMPROVE Keep track of income, costs and satisfaction. Provide the services your residents and visitors need. Find bottlenecks and turn your building into a well-run tower. KEEP YOUR TOWER MOVING Watch residents, workers and guests follow their daily routines. Connect your floors with local elevators, express elevators and escalators. Add parking and a subway station to bring people into your tower. PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE Play offline and pause to plan your next move. Three separate save slots give you room for your towers. An in-game guide and wiki help you get started.
