"The game strikes a great balance between accessibility, with its loveable pixelated population, familiarity, and innovation." - EDGE "Simple, elegant and endlessly entertaining" - Kotaku "It's got charm in spades, depth of play and an awful lot of content to keep your fingers busy for a long time to come." - Modojo, 4.5/5 "Seriously good" - Computer & Videogames, 8/10 "Pixel People is an excellent and addictive mash-up of town building and element combining. "Pixel People takes an apocalyptic future and makes it hopeful, cheerful and bright-if it's where freemium games are headed, we have a lot to look forward to." - Touch Arcade, 5/5 Welcome to the world of Utopia where YOU create the city and the residents. As freemium titles go, Pixel People isn't half bad, and that's about all you can say really. Just the idea that you need to wait around to continue your game or pay money is a pretty abominable concept to many gamers no matter how well the idea is streamlined, but for those of you who enjoy this style of game, there is a solid sense of progression, and the clone creation system is pretty addictive, as you combine pairs and see what you're going to get. Truth be told, with all the bonuses, idling workers, and the romance going on (as well as crafting your city), the tedium associated with waiting around for clones to arrive or buildings to finish is cut down, but not eradicated. And special mention does need to be given to the music which creates a certain hustle and bustle, but does so in relaxing tones.

There doesn't seem to be much reason to plan your city in any fashion (aside from aesthetics), so feel free to plonk your buildings down where-ever you like, but the more detail oriented of you will make use of the roads to separate your homes from let's say the construction yard or city hall. The game has an isometric perspective that sometimes makes it hard to tap on the right building, but the pixel art is enjoyable and you gain a certain level of satisfaction in watching your city grow. Land can be upgraded as before long you'll find yourself running out of room, and often your workers will idle and the building will have to be tapped on to get them to resume their money collection duties. Once two or more occupy a building, romance can occur in which you have to hold down a heart till the heart meter is full, and once the heart bar is filled up completely bonuses are awarded (on top of the random money rewards that pop up around your city, to give you yet another thing to tap on when you're waiting around). Each building on the map will give you money at regular intervals, and the more people that occupy them, the more money they will give. Often these new clones have specific buildings to operate in that need to be placed on the map, and to get a clean clone in the first place, you need to make sure there is suitable housing available. You are given a clean slate clone, and using the professions already at your disposal, you try to create new people that can help run your metropolis. The meat of the game is a clone creation system that carries a Pokemon-esque 'gotta catch em all' component. Whether it succeeds in this goal is another story all-together. Despite this, Pixel People strives to give you things to do so you aren't actually waiting around. All the time based actions can be sped up by using the utopium resource which is the in-app currency. Many of the actions in this game take time to complete (up to a few minutes worth). First up, let us preface this review with a warning. Send in the clones! It's time to repopulate the species among the stars to create a clone based utopia.
