Mini Metro mid-game (left) versus late game (right). Instead, it focuses on designing infrastructure and considering how units use them to travel from one place to another. Mini Metro is refreshingly different from other strategy games, in the sense that it doesn’t involve managing units on a map. Maintaining an efficient system that can sustain increased demand without collapsing is key. The core mechanic involves physically drawing transit lines between station nodes you’ll start by building a simple “drawing” only to watch it become more complex over time. So what, exactly, is Mini Metro? Put simply, it’s a puzzle-strategy-simulation game where you construct and manage metro transit networks to support a rapidly-growing metropolis.

Developed in Unity, Mini Metro later saw release on iOS and Android (2016), Nintendo Switch (2018), and PlayStation 4 (2019). The game was later released for Linux and OS X. A little over a year later, they released Mini Metro for the PC (via their newly-formed studio, Dinosaur Polo Club). The prototype itself may have been simple - as you’d expect for a game jam - but the Curry brothers decided to develop the game further. The theme for this particular jam was minimalism, and as such, they created an experience with a simple aesthetic akin to a subway map. In fact, way back in a 2013 game jam hosted by the company Ludum Dare 26, twins Robert and Peter Curry submitted their entry called Mind the Gap. New Zealand-based Dinosaur Polo Club’s popular Mini Metro and Mini Motorways were conceived in exactly this way. Some highly notable games have emerged as a result of these events, having started life as a game jam prototype. They both inspire and teach players and designers to have fun and explore off-the-wall ideas in response to deliberately open-ended challenges. Game jams continue to be among the greatest events in the gaming community. We love it so much that we've re-published it here on the new SUPERJUMP.
