That all said, it also has some sizable flaws. It's deceptively simple while super-complex, the art style is sleek and cool, the sound design is unusual but totally on point, and it has easy (though sometime finicky) controls. So I like this game enough to essentially buy it twice. I originally bought it on the Switch but wanted the bigger iPad screen after I learned it was on Apple Arcade. My score is more like a 3.75, but I rounded up.

Game has potential but bad programming ruins it 1/5.

I just want a free play mode where you can move the houses and destinations as well as the roads and motorways. I’d say it’s up there with Pikmin as my favorite strategy game series. It could even be useful for fictional maps in storytelling, or something like that.įantastic game. I in no way want this to replace the main mode(or even stay in the same save-state), but I think this could make a great game-mode(or even a spin-off/sequel). With a game this reliant on randomized generation, having a mode where you’re in charge of where the new things thrown at you go(besides deleting them) would let the game stay challenging and unique for even longer. Essentially, a freeplay/casual mode, where you still have things appearing randomly that you can’t get rid of, but it’s based a lot more on your own skill than bad luck. I really, really want a city-planning mode where you can rearrange houses and destinations alongside moving the road. They can only attach to roads by one corner(besides the double ones, which have two across), which often means you waste road tiles trying to get around to the corner that attaches. There should be an option/challenge-alteration to switch the sides of destinations. But regardless, the light blue cars seem to always be the ones who ramp up their destinations to circles first, and end up being the ones who end the game for you most of the time. I don’t know if this is just a coincidence, or if the different colored cars have slightly different AI for subtle characterization(which in-itself would be a positive if it were true by the way that’s really interesting and adds more to the learning curve). The light blue cars, for some reason, have really infuriating AI. Even the way you draw the roads is really lively and satisfying. The art style is simplistic but not soulless, the menu descriptions are very cute and even have some humor(For one, I love that the New Zealand stage says it’s the “coolest little capital in the world” since the game is from New Zealand for two, I love that every Challenge alteration description revolving around the Motorway item is a pun on the game’s name, like “Maybe Motorways”, “Mini Notorways” or “Many Motorways”).

I always seem to find myself turning my background noise off for this game in particular. This is really unique, and gives the game character.

There’s no music in the game, instead the rhythm of the sound effects fill in the ambience.

However, I don’t know exactly how to explain why, but this doesn’t seem to have that problem. More of a personal issue I have with endless/highscore games is that it feels like you can never beat your highscore at a certain point. I love it when games have optional challenges and/or lots of options to play around with, and this adds a lot of replayability. The game has challenges that go from altering the game’s rules to simply changing numbers around. Tokyo is pink with cherry blossom trees, Rio has the Atlantic Ocean by its side(with one of the mountain shadows having a hidden Christ the Redeemer silhouette, which is a great little touch), etc. I love that each level theme is based off of a real life location, with its own geographical layout and color scheme. As the game progresses, more of both kinds appear across the map, and you have to keep managing as much as you can before one destination takes too much time waiting for too many cars. Basically, you start off with one house and one destination, and you draw roads to let the cars in the houses go on routine trips to them. This is an endless, highscore-based, city-building, top-down strategy game.
