• Teeny Tiny Town celebrates its second anniversary this week.

Short Circuit Studios is one of those developers that consistently appears in our coverage—and for good reason. Whether it’s Teeny Tiny Trains or Tiny Connections, they constantly bring fresh, engaging twists to various genres. Now, one of their standout titles is turning two, as Teeny Tiny Town marks its anniversary with a special crossover event!

This award-winning city puzzle game challenges you to build your own small town from scratch. By merging three identical items, you gradually progress from humble trees to towering skyscrapers and a bustling urban landscape.

To commemorate two years since launch, Short Circuit Studios is linking one of their newer games, Townsfolk, with Teeny Tiny Town by introducing a quest-unlockable theme. This update transforms the graphics to mirror the eight-bit style of Townsfolk, offering a fun Easter egg for the studio’s fans.

Short Circuit Studios has every right to be proud of Teeny Tiny Town. This acclaimed city-building puzzle game captured the attention of many critics, and with its blend of merging mechanics and the timeless appeal of creating a city from the ground up, I expect it to enjoy continued success for years to come.

While Townsfolk may not have the same lasting appeal, our reviewer found it enjoyable and awarded it a solid 3/5. Jack Brassell noted a steep learning curve and a somewhat generic style, especially compared to the distinctive visuals of Short Circuit’s other titles.
