Fun, challenging and a good time waster
- Ray B · v2.57.1
I love this game. It has the ability to be so immersive for something so simple. There's just something about it that just makes me happy. I'd definitely recommend getting it.😌😁
- Mwila Changomo · v2.57.1
fantastic and unique mobile game that is well suited to the medium of phones.
- Arien Van Stralen · v2.57.1
Very addictive. Starts out chill, then the panic hits as everything needs more attention.
- David Yorke · v2.57.1
this is the finest in minimalist design maximalist fun. The audio is simple and great, the rules are easy to follow, and the challenge is enduring.
- Thomas · v2.57.1
I like the game. Unfortunately it has a major UI alignment issue on Google Pixel phones. When playing in landscape mode, the buttons at the extreme edge like the back arrow become completely unclickable.
- Aharon Grama · v2.57.1
kinda fun, very simple and intuitive, but interacting with the elements isn't always easy. You may try to grab a line to modify it, and the game will have you pick up a different line, or a car. Difficulty seems set to end your game after five minutes, and it stops being fun quickly after that.
- Jerrod Kaplan · v2.57.1
Peak game if you just want to chill
- Naadir Shaikh · v2.57.1
Amazing design
- Franek Jones · v2.57.1
Very repetitive, all the levels are basically identical and it's very RNG-heavy. The controls are very annoying at first as everything consists of dragging which gets incredibly clunky once you have many stations and trying to make a minimal movement connects the wrong stations or deletes connections.
- The 8-bit Wolf · v2.57.1
Absolutely amazing puzzle game! Very easy mechanics and extra tools.
- Peemmawat Manomaiwong · v2.57.1
please add more daily stuff. just lil challenges. like 3 at least please. it stinks screwing up an extreme run on the daily to only have to wait til tmr. I've done all the levels, unlocking extreme is a bit of an annoyance. I'd rather just play.
- Cam Urquhart · v2.57.1
Good game for thinking.
- Luciano Joj · v2.57.1
calm and soothing
- Papi Eliel · v2.57.1
hi! I love the game, I play it all the time on my tablet but on my phone the ui is in areas I can't click (ie. up where the status bar is). this seems to be a common issue with pixel phones (I have similar issues in a few other apps). I've tried changing my phones resolution and that didn't work. this makes the game unplayable because the clock is too far to the right and unusable, the left hand icons are where the camera notch is, and it's just not fun ):
- Ella S · v2.57.1
Discovered this game back in lockdown and it genuinely helped me unwind from the madness. Pleased to say all these years later that it still provides hours of calm enjoyment. I absolutely love the style of it and playing with headphones before bed remains the ultimate way for me to unwind
- Wade Van Staden
the app plays and runs well. it's just not particularly engaging gameplay, even as someone who likes this style of game. some of the finer control is tricky on a phone.
- Mark Sullivan · v2.57.1
cool
- Matthew L · v2.57.1
incredible experience
- Vikas Jonwal
amazing game
- Melvin Noels · v2.56.0
Very beautiful ❤️

- Julian Brown

- Richard Kiely
This is so fun, relaxing, and pretty to look at. I like the simplicity of it and the lack of ads.
- AJ · v2.57.1
absolutely phenomenal and additive.
- Partha Pratim Goswami · v2.57.1
wow what a game, what a journey, it's so fantastic, love the game
- sahas aditya · v2.57.1
awesome game but PLEASE add an undo button cause it's very annoying when you move something on accident and it's very hard to get it into it's previous position
- Alicja Anais · v2.57.1
Might be the greatest mobile game ever made
- Suchit · v2.57.1
I bought this game instead of getting it from elsewhere in order to have sinced progress across phone and tablet,fix your integrations!! Wonderful gameplay though.
- Antonio Cojocariu · v2.57.1
Cozy little game. Each round takes only a few minutes and does not require your full attention. But it is engaging enough to inspire several rounds of play. The perfect game while waiting for your, well, train!
- Tay Talcott · v2.57.1
This game has a lot of potential IF the devs listen and fix the problems currently in the game. The tutorial is very basic and doesn't tell you anything about 80% of the game. There is a bug where empty trains don't stop at crowded stations for no reason. It's very difficult to impossible to disconnect stations from lines. The difficulty is way too high for the first level it's practically impossible for a new player. There should be a local or cloud save this is the most important thing. 0/10
- madman
Extremely fun and addicting, even if it's a "play till you lose" game, the many different levels and trains are really fun to use!
- Aci · v2.57.1
very nice little puzzle game, but I unlocked all cities in few hours of playing. need more challenge
- Stef S · v2.57.1
The game is a lot of fun, but unfortunately it does not sync progress across different Android devices. At home, I would like to play on my tablet, while on the bus etc., I would like to use my phone instead. That's not viable if I have to start from scratch on both devices.
- Marco H. · v2.57.1
Fun
- Twenty One · v2.57.1
Easy to learn, but deceptively hard to master! It starts off nice and relaxing, but the difficulty ramps up in the best possible way once you start building frantic new tracks just to catch up—only to get completely caught out by your own layouts. Highly engaging, incredibly fun, and well worth playing!
- dom carr · v2.57.1
I used to like this a lot, but the car AI seemed to change a few months ago, doing things like picking up six triangles that are four stops away instead of the squares headed to the next stop, even when an empty train on another line would get those triangles to their stop on its line quicker, and then it picks up the squares that are six stops away. Updates since have only made it worse.
- Kurdt Xavier · v2.57.1
it's alright. replayable and relaxing. I don't regret buying it.
- Danielle Maher · v2.57.1
Enormous value for the price. Deceptively simple game that rewards deeper strategy. Beautifully designed, and I love that the maps are all real places. Dailies, scoreboards, challenges, and various play modes keep things fresh. Controls can be a bit finicky but that is somewhat unavoidable on a mobile interface, I think they've made it work as best they can. I hope more maps continue to be added & agree more stats would be great, but it's already the best mobile game I've ever played so. :)
- chereshyna · v2.57.1
excellent ducking good
- Mahasweta Ghosh · v2.57.1
the puzzles are hard Wich makes it really really fun using different lines and power up to build up your mini metro. I 💕💕💕💕 love it. and no ads at all I think the dollar was worth it for no adds none at all.
- James Elkins - Pinwheel · v2.57.1
Would love a faster speed for those times you wanna super quick run
- Poki Imane
I just eclipsed 500 score on New York City and can honestly say that I've had a fantastic time thus far. No complaints, worth the bit of cash.

- syurahbil aliff · v2.57.1
Great game, its fun and tough some time(in a good way) Its nice to have a game with no ads, although I wish there was a little more element when routing. Visuals and amazing. Definitely worth 99¢.
- justin_bridy · v2.57.1
Great game. Lots of fun. Very cheap. Lots of fun levels and challenges.
- Bernard Widdowson · v2.57.1
surprisingly good!
- Alexey Speransky · v2.57.1
Nice design, way too addictive!
- Maurice de Haan · v2.57.1
I just want to appreciate how this game reminds me the golden days of mobile games where mobile games used to be simplistic and engaging without ad interruptions or unecessary elements that trying to get you grind or pay an endless microtransactions. i thought this is going to be some sort of basic line connecting puzzles, but it's actually more than that. It requires thinking and strategy to built your metro network in different cities. and when you done a nice work, the feeling is rewarding.
- Username · v2.57.1
Edit 2026: su Google Pixel 10 i pulsanti sulla sinistra dello schermo finiscono sotto il foro della fotocamera, si può sistemare? Davvero divertente, ben fatto e dal design minimalista, le mappe sono sempre diverse e basate su città reali. Inoltre l'atmosfera è qualcosa di unico! Unico consiglio: mi piacerebbe vedere i dettagli delle singole linee premendoci sopra, in particolare il numero di stazioni, di treni e di vagoni, in modo da poter curare meglio e più velocemente la strategia.
- Federico Bocchi · v2.57.1

I LOVE IT
- Angeline Scanlon · v2.57.1
perfect for boredom
- Umesh C · v2.57.1
Definitely worth paying money for the game. Very strategic game . Good work developers 🤗
- Monkess Bhai · v2.57.1
boring
- Glenn Ward · v2.57.1
this game is definitely good for content to price ratio, and no ads! I usually refund most games i pay for, but i think im keeping this one.
- Michael Perry · v2.57.1
Good game for resource management and optimization. Better to have stats for each line like number of stations or number of cars.
- Rimba Erlangga · v2.57.1
Great game and visually pleasing. One of my recommendations would be to categorize city maps by country or continent instead of having to scroll for long to reach the newly added cities. Also, many great cities from north and south america are still not in the game especially the big cities that im surprised are not in here. Those cities include the big ones in Texas, Seattle, Atlanta, Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Bogota, Lima, etc. It has been a while since new cities we're added.
- Ariel Guerrero · v2.57.1
incredible game but all my highscores got wiped. my unlocked levels were saved but all high scores set to 0. :(
- Fletch Stacey
just so good. definitely worth a couple coins
- Pascal Bennett · v2.57.1
I love this game for it challenging your creative thinking and your ability of connecting dots in a way only you have and no im not glazing it's awesome
- Luke DeHay-Driskill · v2.57.1
strategy for almost all of the levels: connect every new station to the same loop adding trains and carriages as they become available, add more lines to the same loop once the previous one reaches max train limit. nothing else.
- Shooktija S N · v2.57.1
This is one of the best mobile games I've ever played. Easy to learn, a lifetime spent mastering I suspect! With so many cities, the challenges to keep making more trips, and then all the extra features/modes, this game will give you hundreds if not thousands of hours of Gametime. I've been playing for years already and don't think I'll stop anytime soon. Thank you so much Dinosaur Polo Club!
- Izzie S · v2.57.1
so good
- Vicki Houselander · v2.57.1
cant download the game at all
- святой фёдор
Very sleek and challenging.
- Shannon Cygnus · v2.57.1
amazing game!
- Matraqueagens · v2.57.1
This stopped being "just a game" ages ago. As an autistic ADHDer, I use Mini Metro as part of my daily cognitive calibration. My brain loves patterns, optimisation and networks, and the game sits in a sweet spot where I can tell if I'm focused, overloaded or mentally running on fumes. It has genuinely become one of my favourite self-regulation tools, disguised as a beautifully designed puzzle game. 🚇🧠
- Marie Meronym · v2.57.1
gets boring after 2 minutes.. not worth the money
- Hanne DV
cities aren't accurate at all
- Dom Erbacher · v2.57.1
my favorite mobile game by far!!! amazing interactive soundtrack
- Dan Renaux · v2.57.1
Excellent game that's engaging without being overly complicated
- Glen Westall · v2.57.1
Great game, but we need mini motorways to complete the series!!
- Caleb James · v2.57.1
things to improve: 1) undo button for track changes when paused. 2) the ability to select which color of track i want to use instead of relying on a preset order. 3) the ability to see stats about how many trains/cars/etc. are currently deployed on a track. 4) better interface for working a chosen track when fiddling with highly interconnected nodes. (ie: click color in side bar & then only that color can be edited on the map) 5) let ppl actually look at the map when deciding their next upgrade
- Jeremy Lyon · v2.57.1
really funn
- Alvin Op · v2.57.1
Messages pop up but are too small to read and then disappear before i can look closer. One of the buttons (no idea what it does) is mostly under the front camera. It's a badly thought out game with no clear explanation of what to do and why.
- J H · v2.57.1
Most achievements are practicality impossible to get. Can the devs go back & adjust all the achievements (android version). If you look at the clear rates for achievements most are "ultra rare" & below 0.5%. I've spent days trying and even looked up tutorials. Only if you get astonishingly lucky, perfect shape spawns and perfect rail options they're possible. Not skill based. It is a great game, a little tweaking for achievement hunters as it's only artificially difficult & disheartening.
- Alistair Lowrie · v2.57.1
Awesome Game but can we have more new levels please 🥺
- Mohit Kumar · v2.57.1
the best game killing times
- Indra Pardede · v2.57.1

Loved It soo much got it in steam as well. can't wait for mini motorways in phone too
- nitpow 125
This is one of the best apps/games out there. It's simple, yet can be quite complex. Unfortunately the app no longer works on my new phone even though it should be compatible (including uninstalling and reinstalling). I hope this gets fixed soon
- Felix Ackermann · v2.56.0
game crashes for no reason
- Zsolti · v2.56.0
Relaxing and compelling game
- Joanna Munro · v2.56.0
Changed my previous rating because I'm not able to open again the app. it keep closing right after clicking on it
- Gianni Cavalli · v2.56.0
Pretty fun but still waiting for Mini Motorways on the Google play store...
- Lachlan Moore · v2.56.0
great game but for some reason currently it's broken. app won't open.
- Jesse Shaw · v2.55.0
Really fun and addicting, plus forces you to use your brain a bit for higher scores. However I am a bit disappointed with the controls. If you have multiple lines from a point it's very hard to select and re-adjust the one you want. I think adding an option to select the line you want from the colour tab would be great. Also you can't properly connect the correct station if they are really close, there should be a better way to do this, if there are multiple station very close to each other.
- Mukul Singh · v2.56.0
i liked this but all of a sudden it no longer opens on my phone. and i paid for this. is there a glitch?
- Mimi U
I know I am a little late to the party, but I just started playing this. It is fun for a little while, but the UI is hard to navigate. There is no undo, so if I accidentally connect a line to the wrong station in the middle of the line, I have to destroy and rebuild the whole thing. There is no easy way to reassign locomotives and carriages. You kind of hope your finger grabs the right thing. I like the challenge. It's a simple kind of brain game.
- DanK DanK · v2.56.0
one of my favorite games. Simple yet very challenging. Beautiful minimalist art really adds to it. Would love to see an airplane one like this, building airways linking places.
- Zak B · v2.56.0
super fun and engaging. think ahead, relax. several modes. a total keeper.
- MerX SER · v2.56.0
honestly a fun simple game but it gets boring after playing it for about a day or 2. simple and fun but bores you quickly. I wish I had my money back but I didn't refund it in time. the 5 hours I spent playing It where ok but the first 2 hours where the best. ima go touch grass now.
- Scotty Parrish · v2.56.0
RNG kills this game completely. you can get spammed with 10 circle stations all in a cluster which basically just guarantees there's no way to win
- Nicholas Pappin · v2.56.0
A really cool and nice game. so calming, so good really nice sounds and everything.
- Raghav Chaudhary · v2.56.0
good but it should Not worth paying for
- Aarya S.J
I got used to the controls pretty fast. I really like the multiple game modes and the simplicity of this game. There are enough maps/ cities to play on. It's partly random which is always cool. And the dark-mode looks nice too.
- Max · v2.56.0
It's a great game! I really like it! Thank you guys for such a cool, smart and exciting game!
- Aleksei Kolebakin · v2.56.0
Never have any other game made me feel like stop playing it as much as mini metro. You always know trouble's just another new station away. All I want to do is just keep everything in it's current working state, close the app, put down my phone, and go on a long walk and never return. Maybe it's not the minimalist phones, but mini metro that we need in our lives to put down our phones.
- Govind K · v2.56.0
holy peak
- Dominic Carr · v2.56.0
Mini Metro is more than worth the slither of money I spent. It's fun, relaxing, and challenging. Simple mechanics and brain-puzzling skills. If you got the pocket change, please get the game :)
- Gabriel Cooke · v2.56.0
This is a highly addicting game and, while frustrating, is worth the effort to master. Not that I've mastered anything. Take a risk. The game is cheap but it's better than a lot of more expensive games like Monopoly, which is annoyingly slow especially if the players are slow.
- Tim Holloway · v2.56.0
It's crashing on S26U on One UI 8.5
- justin solomon · v2.56.0

Excellent! Elegant.

such a challenging game
- AKHIL REDDY · v2.56.0
Best 20 rupees i spent i loved the game
- ABHINAV PRAJAPATI · v2.56.0
I like the game but could have gotten a better game with the money not saying its bad or any thing but for me it is just super confusing most of the time
- alex gould
unnecessarily overrated game! if we are to consider this to be a game, then there's nothing fun in it. it doesn't teach you anything about how to engineer a metro, how much planning goes into building a metro, etc. this is more of a connect some randomly distributed dots. (and before you say it, it's not even graph theory.) this is just a bogus game that is not fun. wasted my money unnecessarily.
