### 5/5 — Very good game

*2026-08-09, version 2.0*

This game is very fun. It’s easy to learn but also challenging in some levels which is great. But something happened to my game were when I try to play the game it just is a black screen and kicks me out

### 5/5 — I love making my streets efficient

*2026-05-14, version 2.0*

Simple, fun, and agonizing! Love trying to get the little cars to their destinations. The only way this could be better is with trains! But that’s a different game :)

### 5/5 — Designing highways is fun and satisfying

*2026-04-16, version 2.0*

I got an email from a recruiter today who complemented me on my highway design experience. I have never designed a highway except in this game so the only possible explanation is that she saw my high score and wanted to offer me a job because of it. This game is so good you can use it to kickstart your career as a highway designer. I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Whole family plays this one.

*2026-03-20, version 2.0*

This game is fantastic.

### 5/5 — Top Game Very Addictive

*2026-03-04, version 2.0*

Needs work on graphics and controls can be a little clunky but over all a solid and very addictive game. Looking forward to a new set of levels!

### 4/5 — Amazing

*2026-02-20, version 2.0*

Just one thing: Please add back the little sounds on the map view, or make it optional, I missed the sounds… :(
It was calming opening this up and just listening to my subpar interchanges somehow work as the cars made their sounds

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-02-15, version 2.0*

Need a new update

### 3/5 — Hohes Potential

*2026-02-04*

Jedoch gibt es keinerlei Anleitung. Ich weiß nicht genau was ich tun soll?

### 5/5 — Best game

*2026-01-25, version 2.0*

Best game in the App Store hands down

### 5/5 — Good sim

*2026-01-22, version 2.0*

I like this sim not for its look and feel but the simple challenge of continuously improving and testing a roadway design.
