“Fun game. Bought this because I originally played Mini Metro on mobile. Even though I enjoy both, I'm happy with how much more fleshed out this game was compared to Metro. In my opinion this game just feels like it has…”

“Surprisingly addictive puzzler. I love that the solutions are opened ended and there can be more then one way to successfully approach a problem. Traffic randomly generates so it is never the exact same puzzle twice. A…”
