What is this

Pico Tower is a tower simulator in the vein of a scaled-down SimTower or Project Highrise.
Build offices and provide needed services to earn money. Grow your tower and unlock more features as your tower grows in height. Experiment with layouts to optimize travel times for your tower's occupants.

Tips

  • Most rooms have an entranceway indicated by a yellow doorway. When building make sure this side is rotated to be accessible.
  • If a meeple is travelling, they aren't making money! Optimize travel times to make sure offices stay profitable.
  • If a meeple cannot find a nearby service they will eventually leave the building to meet their need elsewhere.
  • If maintenance requests are not addressed in a timely manner it will flash RED and reduce office income!
  • Check your finances tab. Upkeep expenses are paid at 10:00PM. Your cash can (and probably will) go negative at times!
  • Maintenance staff comes in at 4:00AM. Office workers at 6:00AM. Workday ends at 6:00PM
  • Leave space for expansion. One stairwell or elevator wont suffice forever

Commentary

This is my first PICO-8 cart. I predictably underestimated the token/compression limitations and had to cull many features I had planned, such as more services, office types, transport modes, and save files. Nonetheless I'm satisfied with the result as a tiny tower builder given the limitations.

Super cool game! Expecting more functions like "researching" and more rooms in!

Nice to see people enjoying the game! The penthouse vending machine maze is excellent.

nice game! definitely needs more upgrades and events. Once you get your 3rd floor, money just flows in!

I got an exception:
