## Description

Mini Metro is a sublime subway simulator where you design a growing city's transit network by drawing lines between stations. As new stations open, redraw routes to keep trains moving efficiently and within your resource limits.

Features include random city growth for unique games, 24+ real-world cities to test your planning, multiple modes (Normal, Endless, Extreme, Creative), a Daily Challenge, colorblind and night modes, and a moody soundtrack by Disasterpeace.

## Review summary

Players praise Mini Metro for its calming, minimalist design, satisfying sound, and surprisingly deep, addictive gameplay. The strong content and city variety support long-term play. Recurring drawbacks include iOS 26 stability issues (crashes/launch problems), a common request for more cities, and UI/control frictions (train movement, curves). A few reviews also note limitations in realism and interaction nuances, but the core experience remains highly praised.

### Pros

- Calming, zen, and minimalist design with a mesmerizing soundscape
- Addictive and long-lasting gameplay offering hundreds of hours and multiple modes
- Easy to understand and accessible, with no words or numbers required
- Beautiful aesthetics and atmosphere that enhance the experience
- Rich content and city variety that supports long-term play and expansion expectations

### Cons

- iOS 26 stability issues: crashes or the game failing to launch on affected devices
- Desire for more cities and locations (e.g., Mexico City, St. Louis) to expand variety
- UI/control friction: difficulty moving trains, curve/turn limitations, and related interaction annoyances
