Story

None. The story is you come to an empty city, watch it expand, and then see it become a concrete jungle, like in real life :)

Gameplay Mechanic

The premise of the game is simple. There is 2 types of building that spawn randomly at a given random time. The small one (I called it a house) and the big one (I called it a store). All you need to do is connect the house to the store by building roads, so the car can go to the store and go back. You get one point each time the car makes it back to the house.
The challenge is you have limited roads, and you can only connect the house and the store with the same color. Worry not, you get supplies like roads, traffic lights, motorways, etc after a week pass. So what is the goal then? Mini Motorways is a high score type of game. Get as many points as you can, how many days you can last managing the traffic, and your score gonna be submitted to the leaderboards.

If that is not challenging enough for you, Mini Motorways have daily and weekly challenge, and also unique challenge per map once you get enough score on said map. The difference is, that you will get modifiers, that affect how you build the roads. It can be good stuff, but mostly bad stuff

Visual

The style is minimalistic, and still bearable to see even if it is crowded. There is a day mode, night mode, and simple color mode (I think, they didn’t state the name of the mode) to choose from while you play the game.
As I said earlier, this game is heavily based on color. Good thing is, they have color blind mode, which you can customize to your condition if you have one.

Audio

This is the only thing that I don’t like from this game, they don’t have BGM. All they have is SFX and white noise ASMR-ish of traffic sounds. Not that I didn’t enjoy that, but a nice soothing BGM would be nice to calm the nerve while stressing over managing the traffic

My friend hooks me on this game. Seeing them play and have a thought, I probably could do better than that, that’s how it started. I love how they have a friend's leaderboard, which made me competitive about the game. And even though this is a single-player game, it made me feel like playing together with friends
