Ratings and reviews

This is one of the best transportation games ever, on par with or even better than transport tycoon. The phone adaptation is decent, but it takes some getting used to for the handling. I noticed that some of the larger height maps have little issues, like the pre-existing tunnels in NYC are not connecting below a certain point. Overall this is really great and you can build the same large networks as on the PC (with slightly more effort due to not having a mouse)

This is an amazing game on steam but this is an AWFULLY unplayable mobile port. The UI is designed for big PC monitors, not tiny phone screens, so the buttons are extremely tiny and almost impossible to press. Scaling the ui doesn't help either since there are so many buttons and they end up filling up your screen preventing you from seeing what you're doing. Maybe if they condensed the UI down I'd actually play this for more than a minute. For now, either get the pc version, or maybe use dex.

6/23: It's awesome this is on Android. I just found it through another sim forum. The UI is rough though and there's no Tutorial. It's a tough start especially coming from openttd. I honestly want to like it, but it needs some polish.
