Main Street

From level 20 the street outside your café is yours to build: the square beside your garden, the buildings next door, towers on the skyline and stalls across the road, each dressed in a theme you choose.

New

Buy the square beside your garden and watch a crew dig it up and lay its floor. Then fill its spots one by one: a fountain, a bandstand or a statue garden at its heart, benches, planters and lamps round it.

Buy a building next door and watch it rise from scaffold to finished front, star by star. Eight trades, classic or modern, from a corner florist to a grand inn: the grander the shop, the more it costs and the more rent it pays.

Raise a bell tower, a clock tower or an observatory behind the rooftops, classic or modern. Every star lifts the whole street's appeal, and every rent with it.

Open a flower stall, a newsstand, an ice cream or crêpe cart, a fruit stand or a coffee cart on the square and across the road. Each fills its own rent box, a coffee cart most of all.

Dress the square and the footway each as a flower market, an old-town piazza or a garden square: stalls, benches, lamps and paving drawn to match. Change your mind later and a crew re-themes it in a few hours.

Also new

• Street quests. Sixteen goals lead the way, from buying the land and picking a theme to a whole row of buildings and fifty stars.
• Rent. Shops and stalls fill a rent box for up to three days; collect one, or all at once.
• Construction crews. Every job comes with its own crew that works, then rests: build as much at once as you like, and buy a tired crew a coffee.
• Rain stops the work. Crews down tools in rain and storms and catch their breath; the site shows an umbrella and when they'll be back.
• Rooftops. Top a finished building with a roof garden, a water tower, a pergola or your café's name.
• A piece's story. Details shows when a piece became yours, when each star was finished and the rent it has paid.
• Storm damage. A storm can damage your street, and each storm that finds it still broken makes it worse until the technician repairs it.
• The tram. At its last star the tram stop brings a tram that rings its bell and lets passers-by off.
• Locks and for-sale boards. Before level 20 the street shows what is coming; after, boards and glowing spots show what you can buy.
