Mini Metro Wiki

I love this game. It’s calming, addictive, challenging, and fulfills the childlike wonder of managing trains. Would highly recommend picking it up. That said, this game mode needs a mode between normal and endless. I like playing endless for the sake of just building infrastructure upon infrastructure, but I enjoy the challenge of keeping stations from becoming to populated. If either: 1) endless mode could still show which stations are becoming overall populated, but no end game state when the do, or 2) we could get a mode that brings consequence to the player that doesn’t incorporate a complete restart. Perhaps a happiness meter that declines as stations overcrowd, perhaps you’re next upgrade gets delayed, or maybe people start to leave your subway system, something of that sort. I’d like to keep working on my project with risk involved without absolutely restarting the game.

In the 1970s, the New York subway had a series of iconic and very famous route maps built on a simple, geometric, and stripped down aesthetic scheme designed by Michael Calcagno. This game takes what is essentially Calcagno’s design scheme and expands it into a worldwide mass transit rail system and management exercise. But trust me, you can play this game in a variety of ways: relaxing via “endless” and “creative” modes or with increasing difficulty challenges presented by each new map. Like the my review title suggests, I’ve been playing this game on a small iPhone screen, which presents something of a dexterity and precision learning curve that nonetheless ultimately does not detract from this game’s satisfaction. I’ve never played mini metro on an iPad but I’m sure it’s even more amazing.

This is a really great, unique, and entertaining game. I definitely think you should consider buying if you like games that involve organizing things in patterns and such. I don’t regret buying. I do, however, have some suggestions and complaints: Suggestions: -I think there should be more modes: Extreme mode is very hard to get with its requirements. I think they should be labeled as such: Easy-The current game but stations can hold more people without a interchange Medium-The current game Hard- Extreme but without the requirements and a bit easier than actual Extreme Extreme-Current Extreme mode -Custom maps? Draw where rivers are, choose how many lines and what their colors are (maybe a limit of 7 lines or so to keep the game somewhat difficult) Maybe even be able to upload your maps to a online community? Complaints: Im havent read much about how it works and there may be tricks I am not using, but I just wanna get this out: Why will trains not stop at stations when they overcrowd or only take less than the train can handle????? I’ve been stuck on Cairo because eventually the trains will just stop stopping at the stations overcrowding.

This game is wonderful! A small price up front for an awesome game, and no ads or in app purchases. The look of this game is amazing. The game is simple, get a shape to the station of the same shape, that’s it. But that is hugely misleading because you start to see circles squares and triangles are easy they are all over, but I can’t make that unique shape sit over there forever clogging up the station. I just can not tell you how great this is. My son and I love putting it on the iPad too and multiplaying a level. I can not forget to mention the sheer number of maps as well. Seriously recommended, support these guys and gals so they can make more games like this.

I found this game while looking for something that didn’t require hour of micromanaging, nor guilt for not playing, nor ads to have to tap through at randomly inopportune times. The basic colors and no frills graphics are great and allow you to focus on game play. There are several modes of play and several basic maps of real places. The game starts off kind of slow, but can quickly spiral out of control if you don’t pay attention. I have only been playing for a day, but I love it. So far my average game lasts about 15-20 mins, which is perfect for the great quick little pocket game. The developers have a mention of wanting people to help create a community to develop simple yet fun games. It makes me wish I knew how to program. But my hats off too them, and if they create other games in the simple yet fun genre I’m “all aboard”. There was a PS3 game called Eden by Pixel Junk that has a similar feel. It would be incredible to see if this developer could make a game like it. Thanks so much for this awesome Mini Metro game, I’m loving it!

I love this game so much. As you play longer your mini metro it gets more “crazy” and takes a lot more work to control. This is very relaxing in my case and I like to just sit down in play when I have down time. As you play some maps you can unlock others like ones from Hong Kong and Germany. Also up in the upper right hand corner there is a timer as weeks go on you can get upgrades like getting extra trains or more lines those are the lines that the trains run on! This has problems at all but I would like them to add more maps. I hope that this review helps in deciding whether to get this app or not. Thank for reading this, A fellow app reviewer

I absolutely love this game. It is easy at first once you get it. It isn’t a mindless puzzler like the match 3 games - you have to be vigilant. The sounds are perfect for a chill game and it becomes complex and challenging after the first few minutes. You have to try to learn the way the AI works while building your lines - which is tough and can be annoying when an empty train passes a full station by - but that’s part of the fun. Love it. Also - try it out! The developer has posted in several critical reviews how to get a refund. I appreciate a dev who wants people to pay only if they like it.

Simply this game is addicting. I absolutely love tinkering with this game in my spare time. And fortunately, I’ve shared this game with most of the people I know who are now addicted. We will literally sit together playing the game and talking about what “strategy” we’re using in building our little towns on each week. It’s a lot more fun together. For the developers, I can not get the use of stop light down and was wondering if you would think about a one way road? I love getting the cars going in this little game and I’d like to see the effect of a one way road with getting cars by. Thank you!

I found out this was free thanks to the iOSgaming subreddit, and initially it didn’t look like my cup of tea, but I thought I’d try it anyways. This is one of the best iOS games I’ve played recently, giving me similar levels of enjoyment to Plague and Rebel Inc. I feel bad because I would’ve never downloaded this if it wasn’t free, but now that I have and I’ve enjoyed it so much, I wish I could give back. If there’s any chance of a small iAP for new maps, or a new game from this developer, I’ll be sure to pay full price for them. Thank you for this great game at a time like this.

There is a nice repetitiveness to this game that promotes relaxation even when the game gets hectic. As for gameplay... well it’s fun to use your fingers to move lines and trains around, it’s visually appealing to watch the trains shuttling riders around. The background music is smooth to the ears and it’s actually good. In this game when it gets crazy and everything is about to fall apart, the visuals, audio and gameplay seem to keep you from feeling overly hyper, and instead of being mad, you actually get a sense of relief when everything goes off the rails... then you play again 😁👍

The game starts very simple and has you get your bearings, but then soon has you trying to figure out how to make things run efficiently but also handle new stops (I just call them problems.) that also need to be managed along the way. You have to carefully think out your steps if you want to score high and last long. But, even when you feel rushed to make decisions this game makes you feel so calm with the music. Simple Graphics, Simple Controls, but Super-stellar Gameplay that has you savoring for more.

I have been addicted to this app since I downloaded it. The aesthetics are wonderful and the feedback to touch is very well thought out. The concept is really cool and the fact that the maps are really cities makes it that much more enjoyable. However, having been playing it so much, I’ve found a couple frustrating things with the game play. The best part of the game is getting to design your own metro system and having to figure out what’s most efficient. When and where stations pop up seems too random and are arranged in no way like they would be in a city (denser in the middle, less dense around the peripheries). Likewise, it makes sense for more and more stations to pop up quickly in the beginning, but for stations to continue popping up at the same rate once the system is pretty big makes no sense and takes the fun out of it. A logic problem gets turned into a random scramble. This game desperately needs other game modes, especially with the price it’s asking, but it has tons of potential.

I am incredibly impressed with this game. It has great, simple and bold art, a great concept, levels, extra features and Game modes. If I could, I would rate this 4.5 stars, but one thing is stopping me from rating this great game 5 stars, and that is whet is getting picked up be the trains. Lots of the time, I would lose to this. The trains would pick up people from some stations, but sometimes, they would skip some. I have even seen empty trains skip stations that are overcrowding. Because of this, I am raging a lot at this game. I understand that this is not a glitch and that it’s supposed to be like this, (at least I think so...) but I really think that you should change this to have every stain go to every station. This is still an awesome game though and I really recommend it.

I’ve been steeped in city building games since the original SimCity, and I loved Mini Metro. It managed to distill the essence of city building games down into a brilliant abstract form. Naturally I was excited for Mini Motorways but it’s just… weird. Why are the buildings where they are? How can a house just move its driveway? What kind of logic is there to the layout of this city? With Mini Metro, the abstraction worked because you could imagine a city around what you were creating, but this game *is* the city and it makes no sense. Once I got my first “motorway” and figured out how to build it, my reaction was the tipping point. This game might have the visual style of a Mini Metro sequel, but it is sub-mediocre as an actual game experience. Deleted. With regret and profound disappointment.
