We absolutely love this deep dive into Mini Metro's UI, art, and inspiration. Thank you so much for your time and for playing our games! (And everyone else, read this whole thread below, it's amazing! 👀👀👀)
Mini-essay/review/analysis thing about Mini Metro.

In times, when I couldn't play huge games, it was one of those mobile games, that kept me going.
Thank you, @dinopoloclub.bsky.social

Delphinium was one of the most beautiful games we saw at Melbourne Games Week. Thrilled to see projects like this emerging from small teams and solo devs - works of art from the heart 💜
Grow new connections in the middle of nowhere with this bittersweet cozy story. Delphinium is now LIVE on Kickstarter 💙🌿
