4 stars but slight Recommendation about controllers
Mini Metro+ is an incredibly well-designed game with a minimalist aesthetic and addictive gameplay that keeps you coming back for more. It’s a great blend of strategy and creativity, and the various maps provide plenty of challenges. However, I’m giving it 4 stars because I feel it could be even better with controller support, such as Backbone compatibility. This would make the experience even smoother and more enjoyable, especially for longer play sessions. Overall, still a fantastic game worth downloading!

Beautiful and relaxing
As per title ;)
Awesome but one fatal bug
Love this game, my only qualm is that when you try to add one too many locomotives to a line, a large message covers part of the play area telling you you’re limited to 4 locomotives. The message will not disappear until a few seconds have passed within the games time - meaning if you have a station that is close to overcrowding and it is hidden under the message, there’s basically no way to monitor it without the game being unpaused while you wait for the message to disappear so that you can see what you’re doing. It’s also very hard to keep track (no pun intended) of the number of locomotives per line because when they are at a station they are hidden underneath it. So it’s very easy to accidentally add a fifth locomotive to a line and trigger the message. It would be much better if either the message was unobtrusive, or if there was a locomotive count next to the circle representing each line, like 1/4, and when you reached 4/4 it would (subtly) indicate that you can’t add anymore. Maybe if you tried to add a fifth it would simply not let you and the 4/4 would flash indicating you were trying to exceed the limit. But otherwise this is a very thoughtfully made relaxing game.

Game play is flawed in challenges
I really like this game and it is well designed.
There is a huge problem though. Some of the challenges are hugely flawed because they are simply impossible to achieve due to the fact that the game engine is not actually built to accommodate their requirements.
Auckland daily challenge is the perfect example. Deliver x number of passengers with only two tunnels!! And then the game engine places stations to make it impossible to access without breaching the challenges guidelines.
Come on guys - you can do better.

Fun and relaxing
This game is actually pretty fun and relaxing. The sound effects are also a nice touch.
Terrible game
There is so much pressure on you because you have to delete all of your other tracks just to get one new one, and I have encountered a game similar to this one and it is way better. You can keep building forever.
Could be more fun but
This is one of the best games out there but it makes no sense to rush the player to connect stations without the proper materials to do so. Nowhere in the world does a station get built with no tracks, and people are expected to be picked up before the tracks are laid. Leave everything just the way it is but stop with the persistent addition of stations before the player has had a chance to tweak and optimize what’s already there. It makes me abandon the game. You can still place them randomly at different places, for the challenge, but not at regular intervals. Just have a prompt “build new station”. Makes no sense to sometimes have 4 stations to connect across a river without having bridges…. Takes the fun out of the whole concept. What’s the point.

Game won’t unpause
Please fix. When I pause game freezes sometimes, have to relaunch. Happens one time per 1-2 sessions.

Cute Game, Horrendous Controls
Played a couple times and was really enjoying it, but if you try to ever reroute the tracks you might as well throw your phone out the window. It always does the most backwards thing from what you really want. Want to remove a connection between two stations? How about we just make the track circle back! Try again! How about we remove the entire line! Try to add it back? Haha, we will just move all the other adjacent lines on top. Want to adjust a path of a track? How about you just pick up a random train and we’ll let you figure out where it came from…
Fix your idiotic control scheme and I’ll play it again, otherwise it ain’t worth the electricity…
