Redesign your city to keep the traffic flowing, and carefully manage upgrades to meet the changing demands. Build a road network, one road at a time, to create a bustling metropolis. In Mini Motorways, the city’s traffic problems are in your hands.įrom the makers of Mini Metro, Mini Motorways is a game about drawing the roads that drive a growing city. Overall, however, this is an easy recommendation.Have you ever been stuck in traffic and wished you could do something to fix it? I thought I would prefer to play this game handheld using the touch screen, but found that button controls work much better as you always can see the entire map – with touch controls, some scrolling is required, which defeats the purpose of seeing everything happen at once in my opinion. Overall, though, this is a fantastic package, and fits right at home on the Nintendo Switch. While I do find them somewhat valuable to have when placed directly outside a destination, overall I opt out of the traffic lights whenever possible. While early on this might be true, as it becomes busier, they simply add to the confusion and mayhem. Stoplights are build as great items to use at cross roads to manage the flow of traffic.
Not all of the items you get our valuable, either. It’s a tacky strategy, but since you can pause the game whenever you want and then delete and replace roads, you can easily access these additional roads when you do finally need them.
For example, if you have extra roads, its a good idea to build them anyways in places where you don’t want things to spawn. There are a few gimicky things that I do but don’t love. And if that timer finishes, it’s game over for you!įor the most part, the game works really well. Thing is, if you cannot get cars to their destinations fast enough, a timer will eventually appear. It will fill up again, so having a good supply of cars ready to head out is paramount to success. When a car arrives, the indicator goes down by one. Each destination will indicate the required number of cars that need to arrive. So with an armful of roads, traffic lights, roundabouts, and more, you will need to start designing your city structure so that you don’t have too much congestion. Those items could be 30 more road tiles to use, 20 road tiles and one of a pair of stoplights, a bridge, or a roundabout or, they might provide you 10 road tiles and a motorway (highway), the most valuable item in the game. The game doesn’t leave you high and dry, however, as they provide a new set of items each week. The destinations and the houses where the cars spawn randomly spawn on the map, which means it can be tricky to properly plan your routes from A to B without causing some issues. Red cars need to make it to red destinations, blue cars to blue destinations, and so on. That is the case for Mini Motorways, a game available on Apple Arcade for a long while now, and just recently launching on Nintendo Switch.ĭuring last week’s Nintendo Indie World Showcase, I was waiting for that one game announcement where the narrator would say, “And this will be available later today.” I was glad when that game ended up being Mini Motorways, an easy to understand, but hard to master puzzle game where you will move different coloured cars through a city to their destinations, trying to score points, and not creating grid lock that will shut down the city.Īnd it really is that simple of a concept. That’s how it is for many games on Apple Arcade, and while these games do often make it to other platforms, it can take a long time. The bad news is when games launch on a subscription service and that is the ONLY way to play them.
