PROJECT HIGHRISE

If you have fond memories of Simtower from the early ‘90s or like the idea of a much meatier take on Tiny Tower, then Project Highrise might be right up your alley—at least if you have an ipad. Brought over from Mac and PC, Project Highrise is a spiritual successor to Simtower, and it puts you in charge of nearly every aspect of a skyscraper and its inhabitants. What’s your dream building? Do you want to pack it with rental units and penthouses, or build the world’s tallest stack of offices? You’ll handle construction, rentals, and try to keep tenants happy, and you’ll delve into the nitty-gritty management of electricity, water, and more. It’s a deep, computer-style simulation that still works well on a tablet screen.
