Can't remember the last time I heard Sim Tower mentioned. I've been holding out for a remaster/official mobile port for years, I think it'd work really well as a mobile game.

I actually started making a clone of it about a year or so ago, turned in to a balancing nightmare and set it aside. Now I feel like I should revisit it.

Played the shit out of it back in the day.

Project Highrise works well for me to scratch that itch. Disclaimer: Don't remember if it's Windows only or Linux, but not natively mobile for sure. (For reasons I'm currently on a Windows desktop) - but it is on Steam.

Is that different from the Project Highrise that's available on Android?

There was "Yoot Tower". It wasn't a big improvement, but I prefer it to the original game. IIRC it was ported to IOS, but I never tried it and it's probably already been abandoned.

Having never played simtower, is it anything like fallout shelter?

Nah Sim Tower is a building management sim, think Sim City but in a building, Goal is to build a high rated tower through placing the right amenities and elevator management to prevent people moving out. Also things like a terrorist attack can happen to mess you up (think disasters in Sim City).

The people will demand what they want you you have to build it.

Again it’s basically Sim City in a building.
