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

    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.

      Wonderful game. I need to pick it up again. The only downside - like in Tetris - you always lose in the end.

        Also worth checking out: Mini Motorways, its successor, 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!

                  Can you win this game or it just continues until you die?

                    That’s a start I guess, but the joy of their games is playing them on the phone.

                      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.

                          That's probably because it's a PC game that was ported to phones!

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

                                  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.

                                    I just introduced my kids to it. It's a classic.

                                          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 😞
