Mind the app: Mini Metro due out on mobile this December, on Steam now

Do you have anything important you need to do today? Overdue tax bill? Kidney dialysis? Warp core breach? Close this browser tab right now and just walk away.

Mini Metro, the subway management-themed puzzler I told you about back in March is now available for PC on Steam. This game is a brain-twister of steadily escalating complexity that I got embarrassingly hooked on a few months ago. You’re in charge of connecting a city’s metro stations with subway lines, but your resources are finite — and the number of stations you have to service is constantly going up. Mini Metro is just brilliant and I await its arrival on iOS and Android with a religious fervour. Developers Dinosaur Polo Club told me today that we should expect the mobile version around November/December of this year.

Until that day, we can play Mini Metro on PC. There’s the aforementioned Early Access available on Steam, but Dinosaur Polo Club have generously left the web-based version of the game up on their website. There’s no sound yet in this in-development build, but asking for sound in a game that’s already this good is like asking for booze to be good for you.

Watch the trailer after the jump.
