Play Metro ManeuverA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Metro Maneuver is a map-based puzzle in which you draw each colored metro line from its start to its end using a limited amount of track. Finished lines pick up passengers at stops and the total passengers collected determine your score. The interface shows laid tram lines, hubs, terrain effects and special stations such as airports and ferry stops.
The game offers a tutorial, a free-play archives mode to try any map at any time, and visual or control options including color-blind friendly palettes and tap-to-cut behavior for touch screens. Special tiles affect routing: bridges cost extra tiles, protected land cannot be used, tunnels have turn restrictions, and certain links like ferries and flights connect pairs of stations.
Play sessions show stats, medals and score distributions, and you can view an automated solver that searches for high-scoring networks. Maps can be created and published with a shareable link, and the UI includes a share button so players can send results or a map link to others.
How to play Metro Maneuver
- Start a map and identify each colored line's start and end points on the grid.
- Drag to lay track toward stops while keeping an eye on your limited tile budget for each line.
- Finish a line by reaching its end point; each stop on that finished line adds to your score.
- Use hubs where multiple lines cross to score that hub for every line through it, and use ferries or flights where available to link distant stops.
- Adjust settings such as tap-to-cut or mode buttons, and consult the tutorial if you need guidance.
Tips for Metro Maneuver
- Prioritize the most cramped or constrained lines first, because they are hardest to place later.
- Send multiple lines through shared hubs to score the same hub multiple times.
- Ignore red herrings: you do not need to use every available track tile or visit every stop to get a high score.
- Plan routes that use special connectors like ferries or airfields efficiently, since one line per connector is allowed.
