Bit City Guide: How to build a bustling metropolis

Nimblebit's latest is an idle game with some serious SimCity vibes. It may not be as challenging as the city sim to rule them all, but it's a fun, charming experience all the same. And while, yes, it is a clicker, there are a few strategies you can employ to help develop your own virtual megalolopolis. Let's get into the advice, shall we?

Upgrade your car bonuses

Upgrades are incredibly important if you want to make as much money as possible. While the cash you earn from cars feels meaningless at first, keep upgrading your car bonuses. They really stack up over time and become a useful source of quick cash.

Don't wait to develop the large tiles

The cost of development rises the more you build in your city, and large real estate tiles are more expensive. If you build up all of the smaller tiles first, the large tiles will be incredibly expensive. Once you have some nice cash flow, buy up the larger tiles while they're still at a reasonable price.

Don't forget to unlock the hidden buildings

Save up your bux to collect exclusive hidden buildings. They include anything from a "Sky Burger" joint (a fun Nimblebit throwback) to massive castles. Not only do these fancier buildings look cool, they also give you some pretty big cash bonuses.

It's great fun seeing how your little cities develop and expand, especially as the buildings continue to change and grow as you level up. Follow these tips and you'll find yourself profiting from your little city as it grows with ease.
