The Backlog: Mini Metro

Mini Metro has you placing tracks between different train stations that are shown as basic shapes (starts off with squares, circles, and triangles). Each track line has its own color. The goal of the game is building your metro as big as you can. Each of the passengers are also basic shapes, and represent what station they need to get to. If the waiting line at each station gets too big for long enough, you lose the game. Because of this whole game being one big simple gameplay loop, it feels very much like an arcade game rather than a full-fledged puzzle experience that it's marketed as. With the number of passengers you've transported sort of being the high score within each playable map. The maps are real life locations, and are shown by simple visuals. Blue on the screen being rivers, and land usually being just green or brown. There are no roads shown like with real-life navigation software, akin to google maps...(click on the link below to finish reading the article).

So I will be working on that wonderfully around the Halloween season. I promise I didn't plan that, but maybe I subconsciously did. The spooky season isn't just great for writing, one day before Halloween is my birthday, so I have a strong affinity for this time of year...(click on the link below to read on).

Everyone has their favorite game series or genre. I found out after two or so decades that I like third person, goreless, melancholy adventures with great gameplay, music, and themes of life and death. Team Ico’s 2005 masterpiece, Shadow of the Colossus released originally for the PlayStation 2, is one of these games...(click on the link below to read on).
