Mini Metro -- surprisingly simple but compelling game mechanics and fantastic UI design
An older title which I missed the first time around but recently discovered. Makes one think about how subways are designed.
For the longest time i played without knowing you could pause. It's a totally different game 😂
YOU CAN PAUSE??? Thanks for dooming my weekend to replaying this gem.
Ikr? It turns out you can keep playing once you get to the point you need a complete refactor!
Also worth checking out: Mini Motorways, its successor, on Apple Arcade.
Or steam, for PC.
Mini Metro+ is also free on Apple Arcade
Damn, how long has it been now? A decade? I’ve been playing this game almost as long as Minecraft. And just like Minecraft I feel a little guilty having only paid for it once. It’s worth twice whatever they’re charging.
This is one of the best pick-up/put-down time wasters. except it’s not a waste of time, it’s stays very fresh and engaging.
I really wish Mini Motorways wasn’t locked to Apple Arcade. Can you hear me, Dinosaur Polo? RELEASE MOTORWAYS AS A BUYABLE APP!
I don't know about mobile but on PC it's just straight up on steam.
That’s a start I guess, but the joy of their games is playing them on the phone.
Mini Metro and Mini Motorways! Both are great strategy games.
An actually high quality mobile game… I never played it myself but was quite happy for iOS gamers when it came around. Should play it some day.
It had a giveaway on Android, and I think iOS, 5 years ago. It's certainly one of the most creative minimalist games out there, but I just couldn't figure out how to get up to higher scores.
That's probably because it's a PC game that was ported to phones!
Can you win this game or it just continues until you die?
There are goals you have to meet to be counted as a win and move on to the next stage but ultimately it's a high score attack type of game
That's called "arcade," basically.
I just introduced my kids to it. It's a classic.
Wonderful game. I need to pick it up again. The only downside - like in Tetris - you always lose in the end.
Yeah. 5 circles in a row and I know I'm doomed.
I wish Mini Motorways was on Android. I like it a lot better than Mini Metro, but it's the kind of game I want to play on my phone. Goddamn Apple Arcade exclusivity deals :(
