An older title which I missed the first time around but recently discovered. Makes one think about how subways are designed.

Also worth checking out: Mini Motorways, its successor, on Apple Arcade.

For the longest time i played without knowing you could pause. It’s a totally different game 😂

Ikr? It turns out you can keep playing once you get to the point you need a complete refactor!

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.

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.

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 just introduced my kids to it. It’s a classic.

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!

Mini Metro and Mini Motorways! Both are great strategy games.
