Andropolis

Classic city building: an open-source Android port of Micropolis (SimCity).
New in version 0.1.7
New difficulty setting for a new map: Easy, Medium or Hard. Random disasters are less frequent (Normal: about one in 10 game years). City names keep accented letters, for example é, ě, á and ď. How to play has new Disasters and Difficulty sections.
Build and run a city. Zone land for homes, shops and industry, connect it with roads,
rail and power, balance the budget, and keep your citizens happy — while fires, floods,
tornadoes and the occasional monster try to spoil your plans.

Andropolis is an open-source Android port of Micropolis, the GPL release of the
original SimCity city simulator by Will Wright. It uses the MicropolisCore engine: the
original simulation code, in C++, unchanged.

Features

  • The full classic simulation: zones, traffic, pollution, crime, land value, budget, evaluation

  • The 8 original scenarios (Dullsville, San Francisco, Hamburg, Bern, Tokyo, Detroit, Boston, Rio) and 23 sample cities

  • New maps with terrain choices: trees, lakes, rivers, islands

  • Touch controls: drag roads and power lines, place buildings with a preview, per-build undo

  • Overlays, graphs, messages, the citizens' opinion poll and the annual report

  • Optional background play: the city keeps going while the app is closed, at a pace you choose, and notifies you when something happens

  • Saves are plain files you can copy and share

  • No ads, no tracking, no network access
