Go Go Town! Is a Cozy Town Building Game With Couch Co-Op, Launching in 2024
/
During the ID@Xbox digital event we attended, we saw four indie titles, and one of them was Go Go Town! a cute-looking cozy town-building game with 4-player couch co-op at launch. This title is being developed by developer Prideful Sloth, which is currently just a 5-man team based in Australia.
Go Go Town! was the last title showcased and it’s another cozy simulator that you can bring your friends along for the ride. You play as a new mayor of a town and you or some of your friends will be responsible for almost everything that happens in the town to the point that you build, gather, grow crops, and refine pretty much everything about the town.
From what we saw, the player/s have pretty much a good amount of freedom to customize their town’s layout as it has UI elements you’d come to expect from city sim games. The gameplay footage shown saw players exploring the outskirts of the town and features a variety of vehicles designed to help you be more efficient in managing the town
Here’s a quick rundown of key features of Go Go Town:

The visual art style is very inviting and vibrant, and the fact that the game is launching with up to 4 players locally, splitting the screen, effectively lets players go off on their own to do their own thing for their town.
When presenting the game, Prideful Sloth emphasized how important couch co-op is for them as the feature will make players jump into a game or simply leave with ease. Online co-op is something they are working on but likely after the game officially launches sometime in 2024 on PC and consoles.
You can try out Go Go Town! right now through Steam as they have a playable demo available.
It’s easy to describe Animal Well as a puzzle-focused Metroidvania eschewing traditional combat, where nearly every room is a puzzle room, but that falls so far short of describing just what this game is and how expertly it defies genre and classification that it feels like a disservice. Animal Well is a paragon of the art form, a game that simply must be experienced.
