Game Content:

Stations: There are various types of stations in Mini Metro, including circles, triangles, and squares. Each shape represents a different type of station, such as a circle for residential stations, triangle for commercial stations, and square for industrial stations.

Lines: You can create lines by connecting stations. Each line can only have one shape of station, so plan your lines accordingly. Use different colors for each line to make them easily distinguishable.

Trains: Trains are used to transport passengers between stations. Each train can carry a limited number of passengers at a time. Ensure you have enough trains to serve all stations effectively.

Passengers: Passengers appear at stations and have specific destinations represented by the same shape. They will board trains and travel along your lines to reach their destinations. Different types of passengers have varying levels of patience and urgency.

Interchange: Interchange stations are marked with a circle and allow passengers to switch between lines. Strategically place interchanges to facilitate smoother transfers for passengers.

Challenges:

Increasing Demand: As the game progresses, more passengers will appear at stations. Plan your lines and routes to handle increasing demand efficiently.

New Stations: New stations will appear over time, requiring you to adapt your existing lines or create new ones. Stay flexible and adjust your network accordingly.

Limited Resources: Trains and tunnels are limited resources. Use them wisely and prioritize areas with high passenger density or congested stations.

Rush Hour: During rush hour, the number of passengers significantly increases. Prepare your lines to handle the surge in demand and prevent overcrowding.

Time Constraints: Some scenarios have time constraints or objectives you must achieve within a specific timeframe. Plan your network accordingly and manage your resources wisely.

Scenarios:

Endless Mode: In this mode, there are no time constraints or specific objectives. You can build and expand your network indefinitely, focusing on creating an efficient transportation system.

Creative Mode: This mode allows you to experiment freely without any constraints. It's a great way to test new strategies and designs without the pressure of challenges.

Normal Mode: This mode presents a balanced challenge, requiring you to manage resources, handle increasing demand, and adapt to new stations.

Extreme Mode: For experienced players seeking a greater challenge, extreme mode introduces more difficult gameplay elements and higher demands from passengers.

Real-World Cities: Mini Metro features real-world cities, each with its own unique challenges and characteristics. Try your hand at designing transportation systems in cities like London, New York, Tokyo, and more.

Tips for Success:

Plan Ahead: Anticipate the growth of stations and passenger demand. Leave room for expansion and avoid overcrowding in your network.

Optimize Routes: Identify high-traffic areas and create direct routes to efficiently move passengers. Avoid unnecessary detours and overlapping lines.

Upgrade Stations: Over time, you can unlock station upgrades. Prioritize upgrading stations in busy areas to increase capacity and reduce congestion.

Balancing Lines: Ensure each line has a similar number of stations to avoid overloading one line while others remain underutilized. Balance your network for optimal efficiency.

Monitor Feedback: Keep an eye on the passenger feedback icons above stations. They indicate passenger satisfaction or frustration. Adjust your lines or add more trains to alleviate issues.
