Mini Metro is a game about designing a subway map for a growing city. Draw lines between stations and start your trains running. As new stations open, redraw your lines to keep them efficient. Decide where to use your limited resources. How long can you keep the city moving? • Random city growth means each game is unique. • Twenty real-world cities will test your planning skills. • A variety of upgrades so you can tailor your network. • Normal mode for quick scored games, Endless to relax, or Extreme for the ultimate challenge. • Build your metro exactly how you want to with the all-new Creative mode. • Compete against the world every day in the Daily Challenge. • Colorblind and night modes. • Responsive soundtrack created by your metro system, engineered by Disasterpeace.

Awesome but one fatal bug

Love this game, my only qualm is that when you try to add one too many locomotives to a line, a large message covers part of the play area telling you you’re limited to 4 locomotives. The message will not disappear until a few seconds have passed within the games time - meaning if you have a station that is close to overcrowding and it is hidden under the message, there’s basically no way to monitor it without the game being unpaused while you wait for the message to disappear so that you can see what you’re doing. It’s also very hard to keep track (no pun intended) of the number of locomotives per line because when they are at a station they are hidden underneath it. So it’s very easy to accidentally add a fifth locomotive to a line and trigger the message. It would be much better if either the message was unobtrusive, or if there was a locomotive count next to the circle representing each line, like 1/4, and when you reached 4/4 it would (subtly) indicate that you can’t add anymore. Maybe if you tried to add a fifth it would simply not let you and the 4/4 would flash indicating you were trying to exceed the limit. But otherwise this is a very thoughtfully made relaxing game.

Great game but can improve game play experience

I love the Mini Motorways and the Mini Metro games, it’s challenging but doesn’t lack the fun. However, in both games, there are some logically/common sense things that the game doesn’t allow us to do. In Mini Metro, it’s awfully hard to play via a phone. Sometimes you are just trying to extend a line and the game thinks I am trying to start a new line; You can’t drag a line to connect a different station if that section is already connected to a station; You can’t re-draw lines in the middle, and you have to find the head/tail to go back and fix something; All these things distracts from actually solving the puzzle to trying so hard to get everything how I want them to be. There’s not so much in Mini Motorways… but there was something that kept bothering me… I’ll write another review if I remembers later.However! These are still some great games! I’ll be trying to find a way to get a higher score in motorways.

I’m an avid sim city/City skylines ‘gamer’. I’m drawn to the construction aspect and moving traffic. This game is fun, LOADS of fun, so don’t get me wrong here: there is a horrendous algorithm that drops the same station type repeatedly and right next to each other (most prevalent is the circle station, 7 to 8 in a line?!? Woah….). There is such a thing as making a game challenging and a whole other thing making it discouraging, disappointing and extremely frustrating 75% of the time. I’ve opened every city, so it’s not as if I can’t play the game with success. I know that I can reroute and remake the lines, but when you’re starting out the game and all you have is one triangle, one square and eight circles…. nah. I play games for fun, not to tick me off more than my kid slipping out their bedroom window at night. Let’s get back to work and rewrite that algorithm so it is still challenging but doesn’t make me want to throw myself off a pseudo bridge (when I manage to actually get a bridge in the “rewards”……🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️)

Mini Metro is a minimalist masterpiece. Everything just works and looks so well. The theme extends throughout the game making time spent playing it really immersive. It’s a puzzle game to a degree, but also a game of chance and faith. There’s no way a human mind can come up with the perfect solution to the puzzles, if we could then public transportation wouldn’t be as bad as it is in some places. But for this reason, I don’t really get disappointed or mad at myself if I “lose,” making the game all the more enjoyable. The sound design is also a top notch compliment to the visual style of the game. I love that I can just pick it up and start playing with no 20 minute tutorial. It’s just a calm, serene an enjoyable time. Possibly the only time you could describe a subway experience with those words.

Hi Jojamu, thank you so much! We're so glad that you're enjoying the game and we're stoked to hear that we've managed to put 'calm' and 'serene' in the same sentence as 'subway experience'! :)
