The cozy mobile game Hearthside: A Teeny Tiny Game is now available on both Android and iOS. Developed by Short Circuit Studio, the team behind Teeny Tiny Trains and Townsfolk, the game began accepting beta testers back in March.

The game is easy to pick up. You begin with a small game board and a handful of tiles, and the goal is to build up your settlement by placing and combining those tiles. When you match three or more tiles together, they level up into improved pieces, such as turning simple tiles into houses or larger buildings.

Space is tight, so you’ll need to plan carefully where you place everything. The game begins with a small village, and each tile placement requires thought. As you combine tiles, more opportunities will become available in the central area, known as the “hearth”.

One of the best things about Hearthside is its art style. The game has a gentle, slightly painted look, and you view everything from a bit above. The developers have a knack for creating unique visuals, and that continues here, just like in their previous games.

The game also includes extra features like endless play, different board sizes for strategic gameplay, and leaderboards with achievements for those who enjoy challenges. However, the core of the game remains focused on skillful board building and management.

If you’re enjoying the game, you can download Hearthside: A Teeny Tiny Game on Android through the Google Play Store or on iOS through the App Store.
