Mini Motorways is the definition of 'stressfully relaxing.' It starts so simply—just one house and one shop—but within ten minutes, you're sweating over the placement of a single bridge. The minimalist aesthetic is beautiful, and the way the music builds in complexity along with your traffic jams is genius.

It captures the 'just one more go' feeling perfectly. I love how it forces you to think about urban planning in a simplified, yet incredibly challenging way. Every time I fail, I immediately see what I did wrong and want to try again with a better strategy. It’s a brilliant sequel to Mini Metro that manages to feel completely distinct.

Dinsun Review

I’m far too old to be the target audience here, but I can recognize a basic platformer when I see one. Patty Pursuit is functional, but it lacks any soul beyond the IP. The controls are responsive enough for a mobile title, but the level design is uninspired—lots of running to the right and jumping over the same three types of obstacles. Using the other characters as 'power-ups' is a nice touch, but it doesn't change the fact that you’ve played this game a hundred times before under different names. It’s fine for a kid with an iPad, but a serious gamer will be bored in twenty minutes.

From the creators of Mini Metro, Mini Motorways is a strategy simulation game about designing the road maps for a burgeoning city. You start with a few houses and a business, and as the city grows, you must carefully draw roads to connect them. As traffic increases, you'll need to use upgrades like roundabouts, traffic lights, and motorways to prevent congestion. The game ends when a business becomes too crowded due to poor traffic flow, making every road placement a critical decision.
