Coupled with the sound effects that kind of melt into the soothing soundtrack, Mini Motorways will make you forget whatever stresses the day may have hurled your way.Īs time goes on, Mini Motorways will prove that organic growth is perhaps not the best idea when trying to build a metropolis, as homes tend to pop up on one side of the map and their respective buildings appear clear across town. The music is also really soothing to the point of near-hypnotism. Bright colors indicate pairs, and the colors are clearly distinguishable from each other (there’s even a color-blind mode for those who need it). All assets are minimalist, which is fantastic considering just how much piles up over time. At first, this task is super simple over time, it’s definitely a challenge.Įverything about how Mini Motorways looks and feels fresh and clean. As the houses and buildings keep appearing throughout the city, you’ll have to quickly get the color-coded commuters from point A to point B before the buildings’ need for people becomes too great and the entire city fails. To do this, you’ll be given a set amount of roads, bridges, roundabouts, traffic lights, and highways at the end of each week to get the job done. Mini Motorways has a pretty straightforward premise: create roads to connect the homes and buildings that pop up in cities like Los Angeles, Beijing, Tokyo, Moscow, and more. And, after a few addicting levels with the minimalist title, it’s easy to see why. Available on Apple Arcade and Steam for $9.99, Mini Motorways has already received the coveted Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam with nearly 6,000 reviews at the time of this writing. But what?Įnter Mini Motorways, the next installment in an apparently growing “Mini” series from New Zealand team Dinosaur Polo Club. Not much, mind you, because Mini Metro mimicked metro maps perfectly, so like what would you even add, but there was still something that could have elevated the entire experience. And while it was a super fun game, I always felt like there was a little… something missing to it. I assume that many of you reading this have spent untold hours playing Mini Metro - or, in the very least, have a passing interest in the relaxing-yet-simultaneously-stressful minimalist title.
