Relaxing, Tense, and Fun!. Mini Metro offers a variety of cities to play with. The music gives you a sense of relaxation which I like very much. At the same time, it is a challenge to maintain a subway system like New York or Mumbai as time passes which gives a sense of urgency. I like this balance and I am pretty sure that others do too. For some suggestions, try to make some of the instructions like the speed of the game a little more pronounced like mentioning it in the tutorial. Definitely add more cities too. Here is a small list that will be pretty nice ideas to incorporate at your own discretion. List: Chicago Boston Tokyo Beijing Mexico City Lisbon It would be very fun to see what you guys come up with. If the developers are reading this or anyone else, thanks for takin the time to read it. -Lucas

Great game but I have a few suggestions. When a station becomes a metro it’s difficult to tell when it’s close filling up, the ticking circle around the stations that turn into metros should be larger. Also levels should tell you upfront on the main menu about the stats on the level, things like how many lines are available and how many trains allowed on a line, or if metros are available or not. Also I think extra lives should be an option.

Tremendous potential. I just wish there was more of a guide about things like how to remove a station from a line and things like that. Some of it is intuitive, but some things I’ve only done by accident when I didn’t want to. I haven’t been playing that long, but so far I’ve always ended up starting a line I hadn’t meant to and being unable to undo it, or accidentally connecting a station I hadn’t meant to. Is there a guide somewhere? I haven’t found one. Still, stylish and fun.

Best purchase!. I paided for this game being very skeptical, I love trains and avation, so Ive besn trying to look for some good train and avation games on mobile that arent made like crap. I saw it and immediatly thought of my home city's subway map. If you alos live in NYC you'd know are crazy but the I thought it would be trust train maps. When I started to play I realised it is train maps but its strategy ish and has small trains. I love it and I cant stop playing it. I just have a small complaint, the trains skip stops and that causes me to have overcrowes station. I have trains with three empty cabins and it skips the overcrowed station. Thats the only complaint, it shouldnt do that honestly everything else is perfect!

2 Features to Add (Maybe). I feel that this game should be able to extend a line of the same colour in an unusual way. What I mean is, if you make a line that goes from point A to point C, stretch that same line out from point B & create a whole new train line that doesn't end @ point C. Also, give passengers the ability to transfer from 1 station to another nearby, if possible. Otherwise, this app deserves 5 more stars.

Hectic relaxation. 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 😁👍

Excellent, but missing the perfect game mode. 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.

More aggravating than calming. Maybe I just need to get good, but man is this game frustrating. The normal game mode is fun up until you’re getting continuously bombarded with new circle stations you need to fit into your existing lines. And to make matters worse, you can’t even turn off the constant drone of the background noise (I can’t even call it music). You can only set it to quiet, which is still loud. If you can get over these two things, maybe you’ll find the game relaxing. I certainly can’t.

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.

Simple, no simply fun. 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!

Love 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

Good but a few minor things could make it better. A solid app. A lot of fun and a good challenge. My biggest complaint that would make it much better is there needs to be some sort of color coding at exchanges. When they start to get full you have no idea who’s waiting for what train line, so it’s impossible to know what line to add additional locomotives. It ends up making more sense to make inefficient lines instead of exchanges. Also, sometimes it makes no sense when adding locomotives that they disappear from other lines.

Very cool game but.... Cool game and I’m getting very into it, but there appears to be a bug where stations that are filling up get serviced by a train that has a ton of empty space, but the train just drives right through the station and doesn’t pick anyone up, and then the station gets overcrowded and it’s game over. So it’s frustrating to have a good game going, only to have it derailed (pun intended) by a glitch. Anyone else experience this?? When the game works well, it’s awesome. But it’s hard to get really invested and committed to a game when you can be doing everything right and then a bug in the game results in game over.

Great game, but add land/water details!. I haven’t looked back since spending $4.00 on this masterpiece of a game. I hesitate to call it a game, but rather, a study into random growth and optimized connectivity. The only thing I would like, and perhaps make this an option, but I think river/lake labels and land marks would help make the game more informative! Learning the ins and outs of metro growth is great, but I think people would benefit from polishing their geography knowledge as well.

I'm addicted. I love this game and can't stop playing it. Hong Kong (which is the city I play the most right now) occasionally crashes. Any idea why? I also downloaded the Steam version. Is there a way to link my iOS account? Feature requests: a way to delete entire lines easily and/or a way to remove a station from a line without destroying and recreating the line up to that point. Maybe a press and hold trick? Thank you!

The only game I haven’t regretted buying. Everything about this game is for me. I love maps, I love drawing maps, I love observing transit lines (I have no idea why) and I have always loved trains. This game is almost perfect. Please consider adding Portland, OR, and more coastal U.S. cities. It might also be cool to have terrain added to the challenge of building lines. I’d also really like it if there were a HUD that kept the player updated with how many locomotives/carriages have been added to each line. My biggest gripe about this game is that you can’t save sessions and come back to them; once you’ve hit about 150 riders on Endless Mode, there’s really nothing else to add. It would be cool to have organic growth and change while the game is idle. An Idle Mode, if you will. Creative Mode is fantastic, but, it needs more. More space to build out, more of challenge. I love the freedom, but it’s almost *too much* freedom.

love this game; more cities?. i absolutely love this game. i blew through the existing cities and modes pretty quickly though and would love to see more cities. particularly los angeles. LA has a growing network of light rail (and two subway lines), covering a vast basin and two valleys with short (2-3 cars) but frequent (every 12 min) trains, and there are hills and a river to cross. i think it would be super fun and could be made pretty challenging. i was disappointed to see such a huge and unique metro area absent from the game. other than that it’s a killer and i highly recommend.

What Happened?. I have been playing this game for a few years now and have enjoyed. Than I would have given it more stars. Now, I feel like something has changed in the game and its become harder. I use to get pretty high scores and when I would try to break it, I would get close or break it. Now I can barely get to 500 half the time. I’m on normal play, yet it seems like stations are filling up way faster. It’s not as fun since I can’t even get close to breaking my own scores. Has something changed? Also, I wish they would add Chicago.

Beautiful, elegant, addictive, fun. Like the best mobile games out there, Mini Metro starts with a simple concept, then grows to challenge you and pull you in. The design of this game is brilliant - the minimalist "metro map" graphics are elegance itself, and the interface is easy to learn. The local variations in each city are a nice touch. The game is very absorbing and fun to play, and best of all, no ads or in-app purchases to spoil your fun.

Great game!. I haven’t been with the game for too long (I haven’t even unlocked all the places) but this game is so much fun. It’s a great game to play when you have nothing else to do, and it helps your brain work with how you place your tracks or whether to take lines or carriages. Even though this game costs a bit of money, it is definitely worth it if you’re tired of the other games on the App Store, and don’t want annoying ads or in game purchases.

AMAZING, But.... 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.

Love it. Got this a while ago after finding it on steam, becoming obsessed for a week, looking for it elsewhere, and finding it on it iPhone. That’s right I bought it twice even while I was a starving student. It was my obsession for a while until I forced myself away for the sake of school work. Now I’ve dropped out and I’m stoked that I can safely jump back into this. Intuitive, simplistic game design that’s so elegant in its challenge level it’s addictive.

Brilliant Simple Puzzler. 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.

Are people playing this on phones??. I really really wanted to love this game. It’s right up my alley, but I found myself SO FRUSTRATED! The mechanisms for creating and extending lines are terribly hard to control on my small phone screen. I can’t help but feel like I’m playing wrong, but there seems to be no other way. It makes me feel so bummed that this game with all its acclaim is pretty much unplayable for me as soon as I get ~5min in. I wish I knew how to fix this, but right now I’m just regretting this purchase.

Seriously flawed follow-up to the great Mini Metro. 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.

Simple and Soothing, but Tricky and Trivial. 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.

Good game but i have TWO things I should say. Mini Metro is a good game BUT it has two red flags. Whenever I make a mistake, i can’t undo it. It’s annoying and when I have to do my routes all again but I would make another mistake and mess my routes up. Another red flag is you should make branches because I want my line to go to two routes and I can’t do that and I have to do a advanced method to make two branches. That is all I have to say about these things that mess me up. And mini metro is still a good game by the way just add these.

Great Game. 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.

Amazing game, plays well even on small screen iPhone. 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.

Low-paced, really fun game. Definitely 5 star.. I’ve not even played this game for a day and I already love it. You get to make your very own subway which is super cool, and you can choose if it’s slow paced and relaxing or fast paced and competitive. You also get to build in some of the most populated cities in the world (and make up stories about people on awesome metros) and unlock places like Washington, Hong Kong and more. Definitely a game worth getting if you like city designing. 6 out of 5 stars.

Play until you lose, repeat. I bought this game because a lot of the reviews describe this as a puzzle solving game. It's not. There's nothing to "solve", all that happens is the number of stations grows at random and without limit until you can't handle them all, and then you lose. Then you play again and do the same thing. Sometimes you lose sooner and sometimes you lose later. That's it. All the different cities play the same, except the "more advanced" ones give you fewer resources to start with so you lose sooner. All the "achievements" just consist of "lose later than point X". Even the "daily challenge" is just "lose as late as you can today!" Personally, I like actual puzzle games: they progress. If you fail a level, it's the same when you replay it so you can try a different strategy until you solve it. There is a sense of completion and achievement. This game has none of that. If you've played it for 5 minutes, you've seen everything you're ever going to see. I will agree, at least, with those who have admired the graphics. The look of the game is a lot of fun if you're a transit buff like me. It's a pity the actual game play didn't live up to that.

Great game!. This game is great! But I would like to inform the developers that there is a blatant copy of the game trying to make money from it. It is a mobile game from subway idle, and without even downloading the game it is clear that it is trying to copy your great art style. I’ve heard in the reviews that it even charges a subscription fee to remove ads! I don’t know if it can get into legal trouble for this, but in the case that it can, I would like to inform the developers about it.

Amazing game, HOWEVER. I want to say that the money is totally worth it to play this game. It’s a good exercise for the brain but is really fun at the same time if you like this kind of stuff. I get a better understanding of how urban train systems work. However, I have a problem in which when I enter the app, only the title “MINI METRO” appears, and just stays in that loading screen. I tried offloading the app and re-uploading the data, but it still did the same thing. Hopefully one of the devs see this, because I really would like to play the game again

Very Nice Game. This Game is very fun for me because I love maps and cities. I am not sure how many people would be into it, but the strategy is very interesting, although hard. Problems: 1. It’s too hard. Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t beat any of the level. Maybe I just need to practice and strategize, but I can’t even beat the tutorial, so maybe it should be a little easier 2. Rules explained? There is a tutorial (although hard to find), but I think that the rules should be spelled out more. You are kind of just immediately sent into the game with no rules or anything. I would like for it to be explained how do everything before you start the game (or even just at all) 3. An easier way to delete lines would be much better 4. Right now, I am stuck on New York on endless mode and I don’t know how to get out.

The Start of Something Great. 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.

Pretty Good Game 👍. Although I have a question on one of the mechanics. Why do trains sometimes skip stations? In my last match I had an engine and carriage filled almost entirely with square passengers heading for a square station that was about to overcrowd and I thought “good, this should work itself out”. But then the train went right passed it and to the next station. Why do they sometimes do that? Otherwise fun game and I am enjoying playing. :)

Immensely Fun in it’s own simple way. I’ve always had a fascination for trains, but totally underestimated how immensely engaging this game is. Both a puzzle and simulation, it’s one of those games, in which once you start, it’s hard to put down. Each time you play you feel like you’re getting better at it, recognizing the patterns and figuring out ways to strategize the best routes for your daily commuters. And in no way was it ever complicated either. A relaxing game that I like to pull out during down times, long lines, and yes, even train rides.

So relaxing. This game is very relaxing when you’re not trying to hard. It gets a bit more difficult the more time goes on and I’m usually pretty proud of myself when something overcrowds. On the other hand if you want you can play super intense grabbing interchanges and cairrages instead you f new lines for safety, pausing every time a shape ur grades and rebuilding everything. This game is super addictive and most of my friends now also play because of me.

Puzzle paradise on rails. The concept of mini metro is so simple that anyone can understand it in less time that it’ll take your next train to arrive. You drag metro lines between different types of stations, in order to allow passengers to move between them. If too many passengers are waiting, your stations overcrowd, ending the game. The process of organizing and rerouting your lines would be relentlessly addictive, but the polish of this app pushes it into a masterpiece. The rails must take into account water, and the water layouts correspond to real world cities - from Hong Kong to San Francisco to London and the developer’s home of Auckland (which apparently has no real metro) the theming is top notch. Even better is how the UI is expertly crafted to resemble a real metro map, full of colorful lines and simplified shapes. Friends watching me play have asked whether air was seeing some kind of real time map of their city. It’s surreal. For a casual gamer mini metro is unique in concept and fun. For the puzzle gamer it has depth and presents a gameplay mechanic unlike any other I’ve seen. Overall, a must have.

Still playing. NO IN GAME ADS! I’ve been playing this for 3 years and it’s the only game I keep coming back to. I keep trying to better my score in each city, except Hong Kong, because I have a really hard time with that city. The game is challenging, but relaxing. I can play it before bed and not feel like it’s keeping me awake. (I always play in dark mode.) I wish there were more games like this!

Fun Game Needs a Lot More Work. I've spent a great deal of time playing Mini Metro. It's addictive and engrossing. I do recommend it. There are some important shortcomings that make an otherwise great game really frustrating. Two big ones come to mind. First, there's no way to save a game. If you nav away from the app and come back a few hours or a few days later, it's not certain that the map were playing will still be there when you get back. A lot of my work has gone down the drain just because I switched apps or had to go to work or sleep. The second is the app doesn't quite do a good job of accounting for iOS' gestures for activating the Notification or Control Centers. Selecting a stop at the top or bottom of the app more often than not triggers one of those two drawers. Those are my biggest gripes. The app could do better to let users save games or zoom out farther. That won't stop me from recommending Mini Metro, but there's more work to be done here.

This is what mobile gaming should be!. 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.

Great base gameplay, no long term fun. Enjoyed the first 5-10 hours I put into this game. Very “comfy” to play and just zone out for a while. Unfortunately, while Mini Metro has an end game that could be fun, it’s not fun to get to. You have to complete challenges to unlock more difficult game modes. I’ve spent hours trying to beat these difficult challenges and when I finally complete them, they don’t actually unlock the more difficult mode. So a huge waste of time. I don’t want to invest any more time if I’m never going to be sure my investment pays off. The PC version gives you warnings to make sure you don’t break any rules and are able to unlock the more difficult modes with less hassle. But for me, I’m done with the game. The end game looks like it could be fun but unfortunately I’m not willing to spend hours trying to unlock it if I’m never sure the game will actually unlock it.

Good Value. I’m really enjoying this game. A few things bug me though: —Weeks should start on Sunday, not Monday —The purple rail needs to be brighter. It’s too hard to see on black. —I really wish the colored rail bubbles on the right had a number in them for how many trains/carriages are on that line. It’s tedious and frustrating having to stare at the screen to count tiny trains coming out of stations on each line, either to balance distribution or to make sure the line has a train at all —I really wish new lines came with a free train. It took me a while to realize that they don’t, because a new line will auto assign a train if you have one, but won’t if you don’t —How about a warning flag of some kind for lines with no trains on them? Of course it’s not intentional, and of course I want to know. Unfortunately, it’s hard to realize without the tedious counting mentioned above, or until the stations are already backed up.

Wonderful, but could be even better. I absolutely adore this game. It’s simple, clean, and always interesting because of the randomization. The app icon is clean enough that I don’t even have to stuff it away in a games folder (as I do with most other games)! The reason I’m writing this review is because I’d like more features. Namely, unlocking smarter trains (for example, intelligent timing); and perhaps random events (like repairs, emergencies, etc). I think the game is wonderful how it is, I just think a few simple additions could make it even better.

Fantastic game, but features feel stagnant over the years. I love playing this game, it really plays to my inner urban planner and ADHD. However, over the years the development of Mini Metro and its features feel like it has stagnated. The new cities are a welcome addition, but quality of life improvements like being able to scroll on the leaderboard for cities/daily challenges, saving previous games of a city to look back to without having to manually save (or at least having the option to automatically suggest to save a screenshot of a new high score or to share it as a social media post) would most certainly boost engagement within the community. Updates to the creative mode would also be welcome, such as having deeper integration of the city in real life by showing density and zoning district blobs to guide us players instead of having a complete sandbox that feels the same across cities.

Revised Review: Daily Challenge Fixed!. After updating to iOS 14.5 a week ago, and then to 14.5.1, the ability to play the Daily Challenge was no longer available as the app was falsely claiming that my iOS device wasn’t connected to the internet. Thankfully, the programmers of this very fun game have released an update that has repaired the problem! I’m very happy to be able to play the Daily Challenge again!

Best Game On App Store. 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!

Fantastic. First review I’ve ever written for an app—it’s that good. From the adaptive music to the design aesthetic, I absolutely love the feel of this game. Also, it somehow balances the mix between beauty and strategic complexity. The traveling-salesman-esque problem presented by the game is complex, the kind of problem people study all the time in industry. Yet, it’s been disguised and gamefied into something fun and entertaining. The effect is that it feels chill if you just want to just listen to the cool music and zone out connecting shapes, but it has strategic depths that are worth exploring and really thinking about.

Fun and relaxing. Really fun and relaxing game to play and watching the connections grow and grow as the map area widens is really soothing for some reason. My one complaint would have to be the berlin level. There seems to be a sudden spike in difficulty that is rarely encountered in any of the other levels, i seem to be unable to break through 500 passengers for some reason.

Calm to chaotic, mimics life. You have to create a functional system in which all the parts work well together. I like that it trains my mind to analyse in this way! A nice minimalist format, quite a pure strategy puzzle with hypnotic droning ambient soundtrack. Refreshing to play a game that has a sense of urgency which is constructive, nonviolent, yet not as simple as „beat the clock.“ For mature audiences only (as with chess, for example, only instead of conquering, you facilitate collaboration).

No longer fun. I’m taking this game off my iPad. It used to be fun, but now it’s almost impossible to make a decent score, let alone beat your previous one. The concept is clever, the rules are simple, but somehow the gameplay has changed-the passenger numbers increase way too quickly, new stations appear way too quickly and locos and carriages appear way too slowly to be able to meet the passenger and station demands. Don’t know what you guys have changed, but it’s not fun any more and there’s no challenge because you’ve made it too difficult. I might reinstall stall it again later if the gameplay becomes more user friendly but right now it seems that you’ve gone out of your way to make it difficult.

This game is AMAZING. It gets harder every level, so much to do including tournaments, daily challenges, challenges for the levels and 25 levels! Not to mention 3 different game modes! AND EVEN A ENDLESS MODE AND CREATIVE MODE!! Amazing game, so much to do, fun and addictive gameplay and a cool art style earns this game 5 stars!

Decent game!. Mini Metro has quickly become my most played game 👍🏼 The visuals and intuitive controls are great! In saying that, I profusely dislike that the levels are procedurally generated. It’s usually down to pure luck/chance that the stations pop up in convenient places. Not only that, but I find that the majority of the time I just get stuck because I’m not given enough tunnels 🤷🏻‍♂️ it’s a bit frustrating that the reason behind losing is out of your control... The daily levels are way better because you can learn from your mistakes. Except that only the first score counted! This makes no sense to me... 🙃 I also don’t care for the leaderboards. It’s not motivating to see scores upwards of 3,000 from random people 🙄 Maybe in a future update there could be symbols/imagery for towns/cities where the stations are. It’s hard to judge how busy a station is going to be, in my opinion. P.S. the main menu page should have the title ‘Mini Metro’ or at least the logo, it seems a little stark.

Relaxing. Mostly.. A great game with meditative audio, pleasing visual design and simple to understand, tricky to master gameplay. Undoing/backtracking lines takes a bit of getting used to, but that’s a nitpick. Heartily recommend.

Idea. Hi developer your game is wonderful I find really addicting and worth the price I was hoping to use this as an online game but I have came to use it online too it is my favourite game. My idea is that you should add a career mode in this mode it is in a random city each passenger has to pay and you can buy tunnels, high speed, trains trams and bridges etc. I would like to see this and I hope you decide to soon add it in an update.

More please. I’ve spent hours playing this game, so much that I really looked forward to the Mini Motorways game, but was very disappointed that it’s not available to buy outright. Not everyone wants to lock themselves into Arcade just to play one game. Please release it for stand alone purchase. I’ll be your first customer! Especially since I already bought it and this game on Steam… As far as this game goes, I love it, I wish there were more train upgrade options but even so, great game!

Good game. I think mini metro is worth the money I got a lot of enjoyment out of it it is one of the only games that I’ve payed for and it was good it is now my favourite game this game deserves more credit than it is getting this is a 10 out of 10 5 star game worth buying the look feel and functionality is great for a game like this I look forward to seeing new updates on the game it’s a true gem of a game

Addictive. This is the most addictive game ever. It's relaxing to start with but gradually increases to frantic. Definite tactics involved and you learn from your mistakes. Love the gameplay, the colours, the style, the immersive sound, there's nothing to dislike. Challenging yet nothing hard. Recommend this game to everyone but be prepared to be swept up in its atmosphere and invest a lot of time with, just one more go.

Highly Recommended!. I really love this game. It is fun and addicting. I like that you can choose different cities, bullet trains, and bridges in Melbourne. It’s definitely worth $5.99 and I see nothing wrong with this game. Again, highly recommended. By the way, I’m 9 years old.

Simply, complex. This game is great, rather infuriating at times. The controls could do with a little work but, all in all, many hours spent.

Simple to learn, hard to master. Simple but attractive graphics. This game is very easy to learn, but hard to master. Love the idea it is modelled on real world locations

How can I get a refund?. This game is not what was advertised, I regret the purchase. It’s boring, poorly optimized for an iPhones screen and quickly becomes too complex without any learning curve. And guess what - Apple doesn’t give you a refund, refund link posted by developer is just a general support article! Buyers beware, think twice.

Addictive. Didn’t really enjoy it at first but now can’t stop playing. Elegantly designed with audio to match.

Good Game But Can you add. Dear Dinosaur Polo Club I think it would be cool if you could name stations, please maybe only in creative mode. Thanks - EMINICK95 (a user since 2015)

Simple premise but challenging game. I love this. It’s a simple premise but a challenging game that makes you think. Great minimalist music. Very enjoyable. Could play for hours.

Add friends list on game centre. Really good! But one thing missing: ability to compare scores with friends on game centre. If it’s possible, it’s not easy to find out (I’m still trying to see if I can add friends via game centre on this app)

Horrible AI. AI is horrendous. Often trains are going to places with no passengers, while there is a station next to it brimming with passengers. I kept on losing because of this. Even when there were no other passengers on the line and the train was empty, it refused to fill up the passengers.

Great game, awful controls. I love this game, but the controls have made me rage quit three times during my first session playing it. Desperately trying to move your train to a full station but it keeps grabbing a line instead is this game in a nutshell.

Mini Metro is stunning.. The simple design and simple gameplay make a very relaxing task out of conducting the flow of subway traffic in the city. It really teaches you to think about how to add all the small parts together without the need to force a guide down your throat, and has you wonder how people manage to perform these tasks in the real world.

Outstanding. This little game I have always enjoyed. It never gets boring. Brilliant!

Design is everything. The pared-back graphics and design of this game are perfect - the minimal soundscape, font and font sizes, colours, the angled movement of the menu options as they appear, and the way the menu options scroll horizontally lightning fast like a bullet train. This is exactly keeping with the feel of the original, iconic, and groundbreaking London Tube map design, and it makes the game feel like playable art. The gameplay is decent but sometimes difficult as it seems that stations and resources are randomly generated, so you could end up forced to lose through trying to service hundreds of passengers with one tunnel, or randomly getting a cluster of stations of only one symbol. I’ve also found it difficult to strategise with this game as there are no instructions or guides (in keeping with the minimalism), but am enjoying just trying different things.

Wonderful,. Very easy to slip into and get lost. Glad I got this iPad version than the PC one, because it is absolutely a game to travel with!

A joy to play. Simple design yet so satisfying. Well engineered intuitive controls. If you are looking for an absorbing game that will have you coming back for more this is your game.

Entertaining and engrossing. The challenge of just trying to squeeze that one extra commuter onto your creaking system just can’t be beat!

Beautiful 🧠. Perfect for making your brain work with the stress of running a mini metro and the style of the game it’s also beautiful

Excellent and relaxing!. The game is so relaxing and soothing, especially the endless mode. I find myself spending hours just chilling and watching my little trains roll around. Would love to see a Sydney map if possible! It would be so much fun trying to manage crossing the iconic harbour ❤️

Broken. On a huge number of occasions, the game is unplayable as maps don’t load. The ‘play’ button registers my touch, but the game does not load the map or progress past that point. So frustrating.

Addictive. I highly recommend this game but be warned you’ll be spending many hours playing

New features. Just downloaded and been playing an hour. It’s a good concept, game and art style. Only improvement I can say is a better train management system. I wish I was able to see a number for the trains/carriages I have per line. I found that I would lose track of which line had how many trains Other than that, good job team

New branch feature. Hi i love the game and I'm overly obsessed with it i think it would be cool if u guys added in a branch feature where a new weekly reward option by the name of branch This feature allows to add a branch to a chosen line meaning it can have two different ends It would also be good if u guys added a statistics feature where u could view how many trains, carriages and average wait time in each line Thx for this great game i hope it gets better as we go kn

challenging, interesting. I didn't think this would be so engaging, but it is. real cities, too, which adds to the interest

I love this game. But why do the big stations not have the ring that tells you how long you have till you lose

Make a free Mini Motorways. I played the free Mini Metro and it was so good and it would be great if you made a Mini Motorways that is free and isn’t in the Apple Arcade like Mini Metro. Thanks

Bugs in challenge. I love the daily challenge. Unfortunately my score is not being recorded on the challenge board (specifically missed a day to make certain it wasn’t me playing at odd hours). If it wasn’t for this mammoth glitch, where progress isn’t being accurately recorded, I would definitely give this four or five stars. As it is, this bug is really letting the entire game down.

Nice. My ADHD brain will not let me sleep until I reach 2K transported on London, I’ve got 1.7k but rrrrr. Trying different tactics is fun and when you find a system that works a little better than the last each time learning slight improvements to efficiency. The game hits the peeks as you piece it together. And the it crumbles apart as you become more overwhelmed an need a new tactic

Needs work but cool trains.. This app is good at first but is just not fun and too hard. I’m a kid and I bought this app with my money and thought it would be good but I didn’t enjoy it at all. Also ITS Not WORTH THE MONEY. This app should be no more than $5. My feedback is lower the price make it a bit more easier. But you did a good job to make the game and the trains are cool.

Best phone game. This is the single best phone game out there. Doesnt use too much battery or storage, and has a straightforward goal with just enough variety and complexity from the different maps and upgrades to keep you going for months on end. A few more different types of upgrades would be nice but still 10/10

Simply Mesmerizing.. Mini metro is an absolutely FANTASTIC game, and always keeps you on the edge of you seat trying to keep your stations alive. Mini metro can also help with mental skill such as... -reaction time. -awareness. -conserving. -and much more! All in all I think mini metro is a game that is simply astonishing, and is worth the money. If not a big confusing, still fun and challenging. 😊

Quite addictive!. Well designed. I think it can get better if you have option to see the only line that you’re editing.

Very important. I really like this game but I feel that it can get boring quite quickly. I think to help that u should combine mini motorways and mini metro into one game. Ideally a free game not on Apple Arcade.

Fun but needs fixing. Fun game... but needs some fixing. The rewards don’t appear when you receive them each week, or you will only get one of the items. Makes it impossible to get high scores as the passenger numbers seem to increase exponentially. Has potential.

Good game but there is room for improvement. The idea is good and the game is good but it is the same thing every map. I like how u guys have made bullet trains and trams for Melbourne but do more of that. It would be cool if you add in like real bridges, such as adding Sydney and making the Sydney harbour bridge, or like the Golden Gate Bridge, and they have a different texture. You can also make trains in Melbourne having two different pt in the same map. Keep it up but instead of making more maps make improvements to the existing maps.

BestGamerEver (maybe😂). Absolutely love this game, love how soothing and calming the music is, definitely think every human on the planet should have this game, love how there are no in app purchases, I definitely give it a 5 star rating(6 if I could) well done for making this game 😁👌😆

Easy to learn, hard to master. Simple game with a beautiful design. Heaps of replay. It’s fun to experiment with different methods. If you’re a transport nerd you’ll love it.

Great. It’s a great concept well executed. Developers should be commended for at least trying to help during this pandemic.

Really good!. It is really fun! The only thing that I would recommend you guys doing is making the overcrowding timer a bit longer because it is a bit short. Other than that, a great game!

Simple but not!. I love this game. Especially when I’m on the subway! It looks boring but it’s all strategy and consideration and planning. It’s awesome!

Great with apple pen.. This app is amazing to play with your apple pen as it’s easy to slide and simple but addictive. I recommend this game it’s amazing, so addictive and incredible. One of the funniest games in the App Store. For some reason my mini metro has changed to Russian or another language and I don’t know how to fix it. Please help me.

User interface blocked by notch. Awesome game but one year after the notch, doesn’t work still.

The best of its kind. If you’re trying to decide between that stupid subway idle game and this. Choose this!!! This is my bedtime game, try to play for a little while, always ends up being over an hour lol but it makes me tired and when I close my eyes I can just picture the little carts following their lines and I’m OUT!

Awesome and unique. It’s a unique game to play and I have been looking for a game like this for a while. 10/10 would recommend!!!👍👍👍😁😁😁😃😃😀😀

Daily challenges not working. It’s a great and fun game, but the daily challenges aren’t working. When I do the daily challenges, it never saves my score. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the game and nothing.

Love. I so love this game

Same daily maps. Please get different daily maps please

Very soothing and satisfying!. A great game to play during a pandemic. Very relaxing and helps pass the time quickly while zoning out a bit from real life.

Fun game but crashes. It’s a fun game, but each time I start getting far the game crashes and it loses all my progress.

Good game. Good game

Soothing, but exciting, Mini Metro hits the spot.. Easily the best “casual” game I’ve ever played on the go, Mini Metro hits on everything I need to keep me entertained for hours. Every time you load the game you’ll face a different challenge but the designed game progression keeps it light and fun. The soothing music keeps you calm, even though you know your passengers must be losing their minds waiting for the next train, and the challenge of keeping your system running as efficiently as possible is never ending. Choosing your tools every “level” on a map to keep the metro flowing feels impactful and the ability to pause and reflect on your mistakes keeps you humble while you desperately try to correct what you’ve done. I’m looking forward to many more hours of gameplay with this gem!

Can't stop playing. This game is so fun and addicting and satisfying!!!

confusing. really fun but no tutorial. takes a long time to learn and is has really weird controls

Awesome but... Lovely game, only one complaint! Why don’t you guys have a save option to save a map or game? It’s baffles me as a developer too. Thanks

Incredible. Yep I’m addicted

Wonderful. A wonderful game that I always enjoy playing. I look forward to more maps in the future. I’m hoping Vancouver, Portland and Victoria can be added. Keep up the great work!

Mini metro. Great game

Use the Features to your advantage!. The pinch to zoom in and out features and the pause function – and this stress of this puzzle turns into motivation! This game is just engaging enough and very stimulating!!

Fun game.. I like the fact that the levels aesthetics change to fit the style of the irl maps. Nice touch! (^^)

Perfect game but I have a bug. The game is perfect aside from a small bug, When I close the app any saved progress is lost, I have not been able to unlock any new maps aside from the starting three when I load the app back up, I’m not sure what the issue is

Very fun. I like this game a lot and there are so many different possibilities that come out of each round. Keep up your great games 👍

Trains. I love trains, this game loves trains. Match made in heaven.

Great diversion.. Never remotely the same, even doing a single scenario over and over; always a different ambush down the road.

Someone directly copied your game. It’s called Subway Idle and it’s a blatant ripoff of this game

Good game. Great gaem

Wonderful game. Please add more cities and infrastructure / train types or have the option for bullet trains to be an upgrade option

cool game. the gameplay is pretty tranquil but it gets more engrossing as the complexity is ramped up the music is complementary and easy to take (most music in games irritates me) always love the option of being able to play in zen mode with unlimited resources i wouldn’t say it was “fun” exactly but i really like it on the negatives: is it just me or is there a problem with Berlin? San Francisco also has largely empty trains that just won’t pick up passengers at certain stops — in either direction overall a good game - i recommend

Really good game. Minimalistic, relaxing, fun, and aesthetically pleasing. What more do you want?

fun. autism be damned this girl can train

Do a Kyiv metro pls. Kyiv has a metro system that would be great to add to the library!

This game is amazing. I have been playing this game for a few years now and it is one of the best mobile games I have played.

Very addictive. Lots of strategies to try. Simple but deep

Incredible. Amazing game that is a perfect time killer

Insane et débile !!!. Complètement débile. Je n’en reviens pas de la simplicité et de la complexité en même temps. Passionnant et enivrant. On ne se lasse pas. Aux éditeurs: comment enlever un second wagon qui est inutile sur une ligne pour le redistribuer sur une ligne qui en a vraiment besoin?

5 Star Game. One of the few games today actually worth your time and money. Kept me busy for months.

Relaxing Game. Mini Metro is a great game to just relax with.

Bug with achievement. I just completed Chicago second achievement of 1400 passengers with eight stations per line and was not awarded the achievement. I got 1800 passengers delivered and screenshots to prove I didn’t violate the achievement. The tracker in the top left also verified I didn’t breaks the rule.

Love this game, wish there was more to do!. Game is great, loved playing it for the first 15 hours or so but the capabilities aren’t very vast, as well they don’t really update the game. there is only about 5 options that you can use to grow (locomotive, cabooses, bridges, interchange & high speed locomotive). As well the high speed locomotive is only available on 2 maps. 1 of them you only get one high speed locomotive. If there were more options to add high speed locomotives, different types of transit like trams that could carry more people but are slower, or another way to grow your network would be super cool!

Polished but not fun. The game’s visual and mechanical quality is peerless, but playing it makes me feel anxious, because it feels like I am constantly fighting a losing battle and there is nothing for me to do except waiting to be slowly overwhelmed. That is not an experience that I buy this kind of game for.

Amazing. It’s a great game and perfect for when your just chilling at home especially with the minimalistic style.

Amazing, relaxing game.. Definitely recommend this game. It’s really fun and relaxing. You need to do the tutorial to understand the game though. It’s hard and confusing at the beginning but it gets easier and way more fun as the game goes through the cycle. The music and the simplicity and diversity make this game amazing, although i think it would be cool if the trains could crash or you could upgrade lines with an in-game currency. The only part of it that’s missing is the actual business bit. I also would love it if the developers could add more Canadian city’s like Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton, etc. Overall, this is a amazing, fun, relaxing game!

Interesting Game with real world cities.. Neat game where you extend infrastructure lines to connect different station shapes. Easy concept with depth. Controls need some work, it’s easy to shift one line instead of extending another. Needs an undo button.

Just WOW!. Amazing game

Amazing. One of the best games I’ve ever played on my phone. Only rivalled by the developers other game mini motorways.

Amazing chill puzzler. I love this game. The whole vibe is great. The theme is right up my alley and it's a lot of fun! Beautiful game.

Balanced. Simultaneously stressful and soothing, this game scratches my itch to be an urban planner and reassures me that people smarter than me should be laying the light rail tracks in my city.

One of the best games around. Have been playing this reliably for years now. It’s innovative, engaging, easy to get started, and extremely fun!

Awesome game. At the beginning its a bit hard to figure how it works since it doesn’t have a lot of explanation.. Once you figure it out its easy but still brutal I’ll have to figure a way to improve my score and have more luck on Stockholm level I alway run out of tunnels. Really a great game

Best minimal iPhone game ever!. This is the best minimal iPhone game I have ever played and it is so worth the price of a latte! Its super relaxing and super fun, perfect to play on the bus, at the airport or at work when you have a break. Highly recommend!

Dear creators:. hi, I would like to see my subway trains NOT skip stations, it’s messing up my schedule and making one follow another. thank you , and good game you built! Ignore the hater 1 star guys

Really great game! Gotta figure out a new strategy every time even replaying maps 👍🏼. Great game, have spent quite a few hours on break or looking to spend time replaying this on my iPhone and iPad. Every time you play even on the same map you’ve gotta come up with a new strategy. I’d love to see the Devs work on a #2, with more intricacies and variables to make it much more challenging, would definitely get that game. Until then I would be a fan of some new levels, if they have the time! Thanks for the great game Devs!

Wonderful Application. I’m just 10, and my mom bought me this app, and I LOVED it! Plus - There’s No Ads - Worth the Money - One Time Payment - Recreate famous networks, Like NYC, Melbourne, Boston, or Washington D.C. - You get badges for playing.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

7 Lines, 5 Stars. This game is worth every penny you'd spend on it in my opinion. The design (although minimalistic) is great, the gameplay is simple (although it takes ~2 games to truly get used to) but very fun & addicting. The act of removing a station from a line is slightly tedious and I wish it was easier. It would be nice to have more maps (Tokyo & Berlin perhaps?) but the current maps suffice. Great game all-in-all!

😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻. I love this game, though its annoying that you cannot take away a dot after you connect it to a line you have to get the beggining of the line and drag it back to the dot you dont want connected, then you can ubconnect it. THE GAME IS GRET I LOVE ALL THE DIFFERENT MODES AND CHALLENGES!! THE MUSIC IS EVEN amazing, though it could be a bit better. HOPEFULLY I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF OVER-PLAYING this game!

This is exactly how mobile gaming should be!. A deceptively simple, addicting, casual game. Too many games try to imitate what you’d see on PC or console and it leads to a clunky mess. Not this game. These developers were brave enough to make something creative and original. I find myself playing in short spurts throughout the day, maybe 10-15 minutes at a time but I keep coming back to try again. Only thing I’d like to see is perhaps a system to upgrade your trains. They already have adding cars, but sometimes adding another car feels like a waste. If only I could make the train run just slightly faster, or tell it to prioritize crowded stops. I think that would add another level of fun to managing your metro.

Most ingenious game. I am not a “level” player and frankly don’t play many games, but this game is intoxicating. I’ve always said that I love any game that makes me feel like I can win if I just put forth the effort. This game has a simple easy to learn gameplay and an incredible capability to notice one to play again and again.

Love the game, want new cities/obstacles. I was immediately drawn in with the simple gameplay, the beautiful design, and the actual strategy required. I’m hooked! I really wish there were new cities being added and/or maybe some new types of challenges (some super random ideas): obstacles, station closures, train breakdowns?

Extremely Addicting, Excellent Gameplay. Building and managing the flow of traffic harkens back to the very first games I played on my old iPhone. The concept of the game is very simple, yet it offers a depth that few games can match. The controls are excellent if a little difficult to use with a smaller screen. I definitely recommend using a plus model or the X to play this game.

Amazing!. This game is so addicting and fun. Totally worth the money. It offers a couple game modes, and there are a lot of cities to play. The best thing about this game is that your railroad system just keeps growing. You keep playing on the same level until you lose. This game offers hours of fun. No regrets about this game at all.

Not finished. Mini Metroways is plain broken. Cars will stop moving without cause or recourse. The lack of bug testing is a very frustrating thing. The game isn’t finished. It’s more a technology preview than a game. That I said, I’ve played a lot and been frustrated a lot more. I wish it were better, but there are a lot of frustrations in this game and I’m sorry that even if it’s updated, I just don’t see myself picking this back up to play again. If you’re reading this review a year from now, the game might be ready, but avoid it now or you’ll ruin a good game for your future self.

Fun! Selecting lines and making changes is annoying.. There should be an easier away to select a color to edit. For example, by selecting one of the colors on the right side panel while in pause mode should give you editing ability over that one color only until you select another color.

Praise and Changes. I am an urban designer and transportation planner for a mid-sized US city. This is the first app I have ever paid for. Yeah- it’s just that good. But as a real planner, I rely heavily upon data. I would love to see the next version include data on my lines. Tap the line circles on the right, and up pops information- like number of trains, or average ridership, or wait times, or length of track/stop ratios. More data would make for a much more compelling game play. Love the app! Thank you!

Love it but I have a few questions.... Why do my trains disappear? For some reason when my station in overcrowded my train will pass it twice and pick no one up, allowing it to fill? I try to make sure there are more than one track going through a station but how am I suppose to win when the train won’t get anyone, even when there is a transfer station. Am I doing something wrong?

Worth it. I fully recommend this app to anyone who needs a smart and compelling phone game. You can tell the developers put a lot of love and care into the game and it results in sustained interest even months later. Thanks team for this wonderful app!

suggestions. I love the idea and design of this game, and I have some suggestions. First, when we click on a line, we are only shown with the option to close it. How about we also show number of trains running on that line?

I’m hooked. I didn’t really grasp the concept of play for quite a while and had given it up. I downloaded it on the switch and it suddenly clicked. The joke is that I realized I like playing portable games and the switch is uncomfortably heavy after a short time. I can’t stop playing on either my iPhone or iPad. I love this quiet but challenging game.

Challenging or peaceful. Can be a very hard puzzling game that makes you have to think in very different ways than a normal strategy puzzle game. The endless is very calming and peaceful especially with the sounds and colors. Everything I could ask for in a paid app game, endless hours of games that don’t get old and keep your attention.

Great puzzle game. I love how replayable the levels are no matter how many times you play them. I would like to see game modes that aren’t just difficulties though, for example one I’ve been thinking of is having all of the stations be unique instead of the normal three being most of them.

Love the game. It is well-planned, aesthetically-pleasing game, and it is certainly addictive! Some things I would change: Better instructions on the differences between the types of stations; adding even MORE cities; maybe expanding it a bit to encompass either regional rail lines and/or bus routes and/or trolley cars (where applicable), if that is even possible.

Great at all levels. I have been playing this game for many months now and it’s still one of the best out there. It is simple, aesthetically pleasing, yet a challenge. Both of my daughters also love it (ages 9 and 5), and it’s probably the thing they ask for most often when they see me tapping on my phone. I don’t think anybody interested in real-time strategy games would want to pass this one up.

Beautifully designed, minimalist game.. The game is fun. This app has been consistently updated for years and it is still worth coming back to. Simple to learn and difficult to master. I especially like that it doesn’t collect any data about you whatsoever.

Obsessed. I’ve been obsessed with this game since it came out. PLEASE make the app full screen—now, when I’m doing something near the top of the screen, it constantly pulls down the notification center, which actually makes it impossible to make certain moves in Extreme mode.

A good game, but there’s a bug. A simple yet challenging game. However I regularly encounter a bug when I reposition a locomotive to rescue a station that is about to overcrowd. The locomotive sometimes goes straight through the station without stopping to pick up passengers, and I lose the game. It happens sometimes and you never know when it’s going to ruin your game.

Fun but. Great strategy game, numerous options with randomization. Statistics on each station and the subway system as a whole would be helpful. Recreating the grid is tedious, especially deleting stations from a line. There seems to be no save if you back out of a game to the main menu. Names or identities for each type of station would make it more interesting. Without statistics, it’s hard to tell which stations will become overcrowded and when.

Addictive. This is a great diversion when “social distancing” this weekend. This game allows you to be creative with designing a metro system. I’ve travelled a number of them through the years so I know the experience of dealing with a crowded station. Here I can control which trains and how many go to which stations and its fun designing them.

Entertaining and different. It’s simple to learn and challenging to play. It’s the perfect mobile game for subway rides or a quick break. Or you can get addicted to it and play for hours... There’s a mix of alertness and speed to notice problem areas and correct them in time, and long term planning skills to develop an efficient metro plan.

The most soothing game. I’ve been playing Mini Metro since it came out and I’m still hooked! I love the colors and the musical sound design and of course the intricate-yet-simple and satisfying puzzle. I personally also happen to love cities and maps so Mini Metro is kinda the perfect game for me :)

My trains go missing.. We like this a lot so far but sometimes a line has no train on it. I don’t know if we did it or there is a bug but this shouldn’t happen even by accident. At least one train should stay on the tracks, no matter, well, no matter what! Also as someone else mentioned, it can be difficult to make changes at the top of the map because it triggers the iOS notifications to drop down. Otherwise great game.

Love your games. Hi I play both mini metro and mini motorway I love them both but mini motorway is better in some ways than others could mini motorway get more maps and for mini metro it needs more challenges (weekly and for every map) try to use both games as an example to get creative Still Super Satisfying

Fun, pleasant, simple rule system. I found Mini Metro while looking for fun games to play on iPad, and everything about this game in the first few hours of play is great! 1. It's a fun and challenging optimization game. 2. It's clear that there is *tons* of replay value. 3. The art is clear, colorful and very pretty. 4. The music and sound effects are very easygoing and calming, making this relaxing to play while challenging yourself. 5. Side note: it's also quite easy to play using Apple Pencil if that's interesting to you at all (perhaps if you're stuck in bed or have limited mobility). Thanks to the developers, this game is really fun and very pleasant. 😊

Good game but questionable AI. Love this game! However, I have one small problem. Sometimes the game AI at the end of each week (in-game), it gives me the same options many times in a row, making it a long time between each time you a certain asset. It caused me to lose a game once or twice because I couldn’t get something I really needed. Other than that, great game!

Really Fun. This game is really fun to play. It also helps build problem solving, critical thinking, etc. This game is fun to turn on when you are bored and can really help wake your brain up. If I could improve this game I would add a sandbox mode where you could place rivers, stations, and tracks with no limit, passengers, or score. Overall this is a great game, and I would highly recommend downloading it!

Excellent. BUY IT TO SUPPORT GAMES LIKE THIS. To the devs: When you make a mini metro 2, use money instead of tunnels, cars, and lines. It would make more sense, and the extreme mode would make it costly to change the lines. That way it would be more real while not changing the graphics and essentials of the game a ton. I hope it won’t be too hard to build.

Simple, fun interface. The simplicity of Mini Metro’s user interface makes for an easy learn. The plain background with pops of color and musical tones are satisfying in a way that keeps you coming back for more. Even after you’ve puzzled yourself trying to make the most efficient lines, you find yourself starting another game!

Idea for a New Feature. I love Mini Metro! It is interesting, but makes a challenge out of fun. I have an idea for a new feature, though. It would be wonderful if we (especially in Creative) could build our own "city" (with bodies of water and parks). That might be a coding challenge, but I think it would be worth it. Thanks!

Minimetro rocks. Challenging game builds up strategy and focus skills plus so much more! Greatly recommend!!! Connect metro stations of cities all over the world and grow with your metro users creating smart connections and using bridges and tunnels. If you can't keep up your system will collapse 😱😜😅

Glitches. This game is really fun other than this glitch. When a station is getting really full and it's about to close all the cars just go right past it when they can just pick up the passengers right there! And sometimes they stop by them but don't even pick anyone up when they have a bunch of space! It's unbelievably annoying and because of it I keep losing. BTW sorry about my account name I can't change it. Edit: excuse me? Why is it my job to wiggle around these old glitches when it’s your job to get rid of glitches in the first place? It’s been 2 years and it’s still a problem!!

Almost perfect. I love this game so much, but there is no option to turn off the music, only the sound effects, so I have to play it silently, when what I really want is to just have the sound effects so I can listen to my own music. There's also no way to submit feedback in the app. If I could turn off the music I'd give this app 6/5 stars.

Simple yet captivating and complex. Do not let the simplicity of this game fool you, it really requires you to stay on your toes and pay attention to what is happening on the map. You will find yourself going back to the map and try to reduce wasteful tracks and reinventing your patterns over and over. Just be careful as this game might make you lose track of time!

Good game. High price for minimal use.. Not a bad game to pass the time. Be prepared to pay a 4.99 for a game that shouldn’t be that much. Won’t let you save progress either and nearly impossible to get the resources you need to keep the stations from over crowding. After beating intro level you’re rewarded with a bunch of resources but don’t expect that again in further cities.

Would recommend more. This is way worth the $3.99 I had to spend. Awesome gameplay, amazing detail, and much more. However, I would like to see more from this, like more lines on a single track, or more cities like Tokyo, Chicago, L.A. and more. Would give it 6 stars if necessary, if there was more activity (updates). Otherwise great!

Broken after update but now fixed. Thank you to the developers for quick attention and fix - my game works again and my progress is back! Thank you!! I almost never spend money on games but this game is truly worth it. Love this game.

Amazing For Concentrating. Even though this app is a little pricy it is well worth it. I just got my new Ipad today and I’m so glad I found this app. In helps me concentrate and I know I could spend all night playing it. I guess the reason why I like mini metro so much is because it takes skill and makes me think. Hope you enjoy this game as much as I am!

Very fun, 100 out of 10.. I really enjoy this game. It’s a very simplistic game that’s also really fun. It definitely has A TON of replay value. It’s also not bombarded with ads or micro transactions which makes the game so much better. Dinosaur Polo Club has clearly put a lot of effort into making this game. I also have a lot of memories from this game.

Fun Game. Now this would be much higher, and maybe it will be when I try it again. The gameplay is simple but watching your trains move around is satisfying, and gets better with bigger subways. The abilities each week almost always help, and the location specific stuff is a nice addition too. But there is one pretty big problem. I can’t seem to lose. I’ll spend an hour on my subway, and when I feel accomplished enough, I can’t physically lose. If I disconnect a line the people just leave, and the people just seem to leave instead of overfilling. It would help if the leave button saved your progress but it deletes your progress. So I can’t get past a specific level now. Edit: Thanks devs! I fixed the problem

Simple and Brilliant. This game is as simple as it gets, and that’s why it’s so brilliant. I have played this regularly for years and never tire of it. However if I could make one suggestion - please randomize the starting station in each location. Every game seems to start in exactly the same place. Do this and it would be 5 stars all the way.

Irritating freezes in creative mode. I personally love the introduction of creative mode in Mini Metro - that is, when it functions properly. Many times when I have progressed further into each round, especially when I am adding more stations onto the map, the game freezes and I subsequently have to force quit and lose all progress. This gets rather devastating over time. I hope the developers can fix this as soon as possible considering this game shouldn't take up too much of the phone's processing power.

Awesome game, but Singapore trains are unrealistic. Everything works smoothly in the game, and I'm glad I've spent so much time with it! I didn't realize it but there were challenges to unlock the harder permanent track mode. There is one thing that could be improved though, Singapore trains are working too smoothly. Can you throw in a disruption or two to make it more accurate? Thanks!

AMAZING!!!!!!. I got this game and it looked time consuming. So I bought it. Let me just say, that was the best purchase I have ever made!!!!!!!!! At first I didn’t get the concept but when I got the concept it was difficult to pull myself away to write an amazing review. It is a great game that is just cute and a great game to play to pass the time. Not to complicated either. I mean it takes brain juice but it is not Einstein hard!!!!

Game is worth playing if you don’t get bored of the same content.. Granted the gameplay can only be so much different in every level the background managed to be engaging. Each level and upgrade is a satisfying decoration. This game will kill time and you have the option to pause it to plot your subway. Would recommend :D

Want to give it 10 ⭐️’s!!!. This is the best game I have downloaded, by far. It is beautiful, challenging, addicting and also very soothing. I now feel sorry for all the other apps on my phone as they are now highly neglected. The app has several options to play and to remember how you did. I find myself emailing my better works to my kids and they do the same to me to compare how we are progressing. I would love more cities, however, there is much room for creativity within each current city on the app. ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! Thank you to the developers and to the App Store for advertising this. I couldn’t be happier with an app.

One of the finest games. This is the best game I’ve found on iOS. It’s a puzzle game, it’s a relaxin game, it’s a thoughtful game, it’s challenging, creative, different every time. Few games are of this quality in the App Store. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone. It’s good for adults, and children. The soundtrack is fantastic, the controls intuitive. I mean really, fantastic app. Well worth it’s cost.
