• Expand your minimalist strategy horizons - bundle with shapez now! - 16 July 2024

  We know that it can be tough to find games that scratch the Mini Metro itch, so we wanted to introduce you to our friend Tobias Springer and his game, shapez! For a limited time, we're partnering up for the ‘Subways and shapez' bundle, which will give you a discount on both our titles. In shapez, the name of the game is speed just as much as efficiency. You must build increasingly complex production lines that slice, rotate, and colour a variety of shapes as your factories expand, just like the maps in Mini Metro. While things start out at a relaxed pace, you'll soon find that as your factories scale, you'll have to build increasingly well designed assembly lines to keep up! Dive into this bundle to put your strategy skills to the test. If you already own Mini Metro, you can still purchase the bundle to get a discount of 10% on shapez. And if you don't own Mini Metro yet, now you can pi…
