Maglev Metro

I haven’t touched this game in about 2 years due to bugs with pass and play mode. I was happy to see there have been updates, so decided to try it again. The old bug (reported) had to do with pass-and-play and leaving the app mid-game and continuing later. Pass and Play has the same bugs as before. This time, the second player became an AI (was a person). Additionally, colors are very hard to distinguish for robots and people. In the board game this was fixed with silk-screening. Not here. Disappointing that the game remains for sale when it is not being maintained.

I just bought this 30 minutes ago and regret it. The links to the tutorial videos did not work, and the tutorial, instead of explaining basic concepts like “units per action”, made me go through programmed movements. I had no idea why I could do what I could do until I downloaded the rules from BoardGameGeek. Then, the game requires you to be able to discern differences between hues on the player board that weren’t obvious to me, and there was no option to show the text of hues so I could figure out what robot/commuter was needed for which spot. (Obvious in some cases, but I apparently could not discern between a silver outline and a turquoise outline.) Not a user friendly experience for me.

Im enjoying the app so far. The tutorial is nice and the interface is very simple and easy to navigate. I have had a few times where my passengers have disappeared while loading/unloading if I try and look at the playerboard. Also there is no way to save a game so that it can be returned to later. Please add this feature! Most mobile gamers don’t finish an entire game session in one sitting.
