Bland copy of Mini Metro, but worse and totally overpriced. Avoid this and play Mini Metro instead.

9/10 A good somewhat unique train game that looks like mini metro, but differentiate itself and improve on it! Absolutely get it if you already like this genere of games!! More in depth: At first sight the squares/circles/triangles, dragging lines and trains/carriages just screams Mini Metro and the goal indeed is: try to move at many passengers as possible without station overcrowding using upgrades and route planning. Heck even the screenshots have the weird optimized loop route from very high score mini metro runs. While the key of game is still optimizing routing the upgrades comes in very different. There's a lot of "weekly upgrades" to choose from as well as discarding the concept of "new lines/tunnels/bridges". This combined with actual paying for trains and carriages yield a very different (and unique) play styles depends on how YOU like it. Whether it is huge trains and loop lines or dedicating special trains for niche passenger demands. Graphics are also quite cute i just really wish they have a tutorial for all the things new and different to this game. As well as some hint that clicking on the logo gives u the random map options.

No instructions, no clue what I am doing, no explanation of what anything is. Shapes show up, cities I think, and I am supposed to link them, but do the shapes mean anything? Am I supposed to connect like shapes? And why do their seem to be two kinds of train? Passenger and freight maybe? One thumb down as is.
