Townscaper was developed by Swedish developer Oskar Stålberg, who previously worked on Bad North. This allows for towns that feel more organic and unstructured when compared to similar games that are based on regular grids. Townscaper takes place on a large distorted grid set in an infinite sea. This method of rule-based decoration allows arches, gardens, and stairways to be created without specific user instruction. Various "rules" dictate these blocks' appearances, with some appearing as spires and others as balconies. Users construct an island town by placing and removing colored blocks on an ocean. Townscaper has no inherent objective or story and has been described by developer Stålberg as "more of a toy" than a game. It features low poly graphics and a simple, minimalist user interface.
