User Reviews for Mini Metro

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

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.

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 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 interchangeMedium-The current gameHard- Extreme but without the requirements and a bit easier than actual ExtremeExtreme-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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
