3k let's gooo :)
BTW: I'm back on Instagram. Find me @hydrophilplays
NOTE: The 1.9b score was achieved by a hacker and got deleted by the devs already. Also this IS the full gameplay. From 8k to 100k nothing happened anymore so you're not missing out on anything ✌🏼
Already
Gratz!! Im part of that :D
Let's get you to 10k, right?
10k easy after this vid blow up for sure
could you potentially make a roundabout from regular road tiles?
I'd love to see a sandbox mode and an infinitely expanding city that has bigger buildings and gives more resources
Sandbox mode would make everything so much easier!
Sandbox would be nice for properly testing out different layouts
Id like to see things like one way streets. Or on ramps for existing motorways making it easier to service more people.
@Viliam Vacula hey! Give us a list! thx
Infinitely expanding city can't happen, the engine doesn't allow it, yet sandbox would be a nice and easily doable feature
I hate it when people accuse cleverly making use of game mechanics as cheating. As long as it's a thing you can do within the game without glitching, modifying the code, making use of hard/software that automate certain things, or anything else like that you are just using game mechanics. Sometimes I just feel like people are triggered because they don't have the skill to do it themselves lol (like another amazing example; snaking in Mario Kart).
Agreed 100%!
Pretty good point, I have some strategies with the game Stellaris that feels like cheating to maybe some, but it’s actually a clever way to play MegaCorp in it.
Eh, "making clever use of game mechanics" is just cheating within the confines of the game. By your definition, using an in game editor isn't cheating because it's in the game readily available for you to use. Just because something is able to be done without using outside software doesn't mean it isn't cheating.
In a game like this it doesn't matter at all since it's solely single-player but you gotta admit it doesn't really feel like people are playing the game the "right way". I won't deny that it takes skill to do be able to do it effectively, because it absolutely does.
I don’t think it’s cheating but this is a problem of “letter of the law” vs “spirit of the law”.
By the letter of the law placing random roads down isn’t cheating because it’s a basic game mechanic.
The spirit of the law would say this could be considered cheating because it’s manipulating an aspect of the game.
i wouldn't call it cheating and i definitely think many people are overreacting, but i would like for them to incorporate this into the game in a different way, that feels more natural then building jumbled roads everywhere. but if they don't do that, or even until they do that, this is a 100% legit way to play the game
ggs! founds this game through aliensrock, cool to see people pushing it to the limit
Nice! Watched quite a few videos of him playing it!
Same here
I found it through rce, but also watch aliensrocks videos on it
Same

That's an impressive score and the game gets to a point like I thoight. All businesses are just yelling they're in trouble constantly 🤣
Yeah that's the weird thing. You never know if you're alright at that point or it's gonna be too much 😄
When your game hit a high score, Please don't skip the video, i want to watch the flow of car. it is very satisficing.
Mini Motorways ASMR channel might be the new niche to go 😄
@@HYDROPHILPLAYS Yes Indeed, Nobody doing that yet right ?
go go go blue car, go yellow car, go red car :D :D lol XD
Wish they'd allowed two modes: Blocking spawns, and "road must be connected" mode, which also limits how many road-tiles you're given.
Discovered this game because YT kept recommending Xisuma’s Mini Metro videos from 6 years ago and his recent mini motorways videos.
Great score and well done on “limiting spawn positions”!
Thanks and welcome! :)
Ahhh I finally had it running itself at 9k and i accidentally deleted a motorway. Great job on this one tho.
RIP! Accidentally messing up your motorways is the worst feeling.
Thanks!
They really need to implement an undo button…
I found you earlier today through your last high score video and kept thinking that it's a pity there was no recording of it... And now you upload this! Couldn't have been happier haha. Love your stuff! Congrats!
Thanks for the love! I was actually so bummed with the LA video that I didn't record. Was even happier when this score happened 😄🙌🏼
Damn! I'm just happy that actual Zürich have such a massive transit system and not this many motorways XD
Can you please do a guide of where you want to block with extra roads. I try to do it but I don’t know where I should block off and it would just help heaps if I could have just that little bit more control over where things spawn. Btw, great video and very underrated, definitely subscribing
A video like that is planned. Don't have a date on that yet tho!
Great to see, thanks. Feel like I'm so close to going beyond 3,500, this really helps.
never thought that it has a finish for this game, GG
Was helpful to see how close it felt like you were to losing for a while before things leveled out! I've hit that 3-4k range often and when it starts looking hopeless I Assume it's over, but the little changes apparently make a big difference. Also, what the hell is that 2 billion point score lmao
That's true. Also a lucky spawn can ease things out! The 2b score was definitely hacked. Also got deleted already :)
Man I just bought this game and was searching for tips to be good at it. And wtf you literally got top 1 global. That's amazing!!
Thank you for the tips!
I just made myself lose on purpose after scoring 25k in Los Angeles. I filled gaps with roads so it could go indefinitely.
Very nice!! It's great to see some videos about how to gain some stability on the map to start earning huge points.
Meanwhile, I'm over here just squeaking by to get the 2k achievements :) I guess I need to try controlling the spawn a little bit.
Thanks!
2k are nice tho! Also in some cities its easier to reach that score than in others.
Been looking forward to this! Subscribed just for the intro
Good stuff! Keep up the good work, I'm sure your channel will blow up!
Thanks for the love! Already was amazing what happend in the last two weeks :)
If the game allows it, it's not cheating.
@@butterbot Given that placing bits of road is the primary function of the game I really don't think that it's an exploit.
Congrats on that score. Is there a video where you explain precisely on what to look out for while blocking the spawns?
Not yet. Since this has been asked quite a few times I'm planning on doing one tho!
Never noticed that you started uploading again. Certainly a welcome surprise! :)
Wait, an og sub? Thanks for the love! Yeah was pretty busy changing jobs, but got some time to be back on CZcams finally :)
Nice to find another HydroP
Hah nice! :D
Why don’t try letting it run longer and see what score you end up with
@@chenweizhi8609 And to avoid a crash. If the game crashes everything is GONE

Unless there is video proof like hear
@@stachuvonokrutny7071 Not really. My LA highscore got deleted. But the most important part is: Devs are working on this and we'll get a fresh game with a fresh leaderboard at some point :)
@@chenweizhi8609 The number one score for that map is literally 1.999.999.999, how's that not silly?
@@MrMichalMalek that one got removed it was a hacker
This is amazing. Well done. You earned yourself a new subscriber 😉
Thanks & welcome :)
the fact that he is second in the leaderboard is baffleing
Great work on the high score. You're making awesome content keep it up
Thanks a lot! :)
Wow you're a real genius of engineer
Imagine this game with road hierarchy
Thank you so much for showing your gameplay and for commenting on it. Unfortunately I wasn't really able to follow on what you are saying sry, i think visual indicators on houses and building you're talking about would be of great help. And also I am looking forward to a road block guide because I still can't understand how it works lol. Amazing video dude looking forward for more highscores
Thanks!
I usually use the mousecursor to do so. But visuals would help better, I agree!
The video on how to control the spawn is uploaded already by now :)
I like these videos, your commentary and technique is a lot of fun.
May I ask where your accent is from? (You can of course always say no!)
Thanks for the love! No need to say no, I have German roots :)
The more and more I understand this game, it's disappointing that this game doesn't want us to make nice looking street design but rather to make earthworm looking dizzy and segregated hundreds roads in order to survive and lasts any longer as much as possible... it's pity. Traffic sign ?? just shit, I wonder why thy made this item even can't be used for high score.. haha
113K!!!😳 Congrats on 3k subs! you deserve it!
Thanks so much! Feels good to not talk to myself the whole time :)
Ah so this is what the ultimate road solution looks like.
As a person that can't even get 5,000 points, you amaze me
Thanks so much for this!
You're welcome :)
Well done Phil. That's an epic score.
Thanks :)
me following every tip and suggestion from the world top player and still having trouble getting through 1500 points
There's a lot of luck to this as well.
Mini motorways: A motorway cannot be placed over a mountain.
Motorway #5: HOLD MY BEER
You can still drag it afterwords. Doesn't help tho since start and end points are still the same :)
The Good Old Days!
What is the difference between classic and endless modes? You mentioned something about maxing out, does that mean classic goes to the point where the game end because all possible spawn points are filled up?
What if devs mixed Metro, Motorways and something like Buses or Bicycles in next game?
Definitely couldn't be called 'mini' at that point anymore 😄
Or trains
I also control the spawn. But I never thought to separate the colors, thanks for the tip!
Congratulations 🙌🙌
good video!! Saludos from Argentina
Gg! That's a really underrated channel bwt
Thanks! :)
One thing that I never see you doing which is interesting to me is to arrange neighborhoods to minimize intersections inside them. Aka two houses connected on opposite sides of a straight road. Cars slow down when you have that, so does it just not matter???
It matters, but I rather have them close to each other. I bet it can be done better tho
Agreed that the start of video is a strat not game breaking.
How come there wasn't a single double color factory spawning anywhere in the whole level. I have the most trouble dealing with those since they make segregation literally impossible.
Idk, maybe on Zürich they're rare since there's not too much space. Usually I'm fine with those since you can kind of segregate by using the two exits.
Your city is amazing
Thanks! :)
If you have a spare motorway, you can move a motorway and still have it functional. You may need to move both ends though.
One of these runs you should try to stop exactly at 69420
Almost impossible since the score is jumping so fast in the end game. It's not that I didn't try stuff like that :D
Pogger
Motorways can’t go over mountains:
Motorway 5: try me bitch
Nice, insane score
Thanks!
This is just insane
I'm so mad you didn't let it keep going
It would have gone on forever. At some point of keeping it running you gotta stop it yourself 😅
omg ; what a high score
Great video I myself wouldn't mind a little longer video like 20 mins but this was awesome I also came through aliensrock
Welcome!
Most people leave at such a long video so usually I'm trying to make it short and sweet :)
I think if people feel that strongly about not using roads to block off areas they can simply choose not to do that in their own game lol, to me it’s like fast travel in RPGs, you can choose not to do it for immersion, but the game allows it so some people are gonna use it.
I see you try to avoid the 270 degree connections to destinations. Have you actually verified this is better than the shorter, more acute road? Yes, the cars do slow down a touch for those angles, but they have a short journey which I think makes up for it (whilst sparing one road tile and a map square). Those angles elsewhere is definitely bad because of the concertina effect, but at the end of the journey when they're stopping anyway, I'm not sure which is better.
That's actually a thing I've been thinking about for quite a while. Somehow it feels wrong to me even if there's no reason to do so 😅
@@HYDROPHILPLAYS Well, if you do run some experiments (for the content), be assured that there'll be an update that'll directly relate. Saw a vid a few days about for intersection comparison, there've been two roundabouts tweaks since XD.
Peace. V
Houses will never spawn near bussineses. The closest is diagonal.
nice!
Actually insane h o w
Who the D’fu is brycex with his 1,999,999 score!?!
I saw your video on blocking the entire map so that only one shop is on the map. You should try this again now that you can reduce the pin counter each time a car enters the shop.
Oh true, that could make a difference. I think the devs are definitely aware of this. Might give it a try tho...
Do you think they should add a truck, the truck is very slowe and makes the car behind them go slower
Good question. I guess that would be a lot of luck and might hurt the planning aspect of the game. But could still be an interesting feature :)
You’ve still got a long way to go to catch up to that guy with 2 billion.
That guy is a hacker and already got deleted by the devs. Spot 1 is mine now :)

(Joke stolen from SMBC, an excellent webcomic)
yooooo thats craazzzyy
Im wondering if BryceX.61 also has a youtube vid
You built motorways over mountains. Was there a patch that later disallowed this?
No it's still the same. It will allow to build over the sides of it. So some tiles will work, some won't. In my gameplay it looks sometimes weird because I tend to pull the motorways after they are placed too see underneath. But that's just a visual thing.
OMG the video has the same views of the score u got
Hät glob no nie öbert gschafft de Vercheer in züri z'fixe. (In swiss german) i guess nobody ever got it done to fix the trafic in zurich
Gotta love the Swiss language!
But yeah, same goes for all the other cities of the game. If only it'd be that easy! ✌🏼
Amazing!
Thanks! :)
@HYDROPHIL PLAYS Vid Idea: attempt a WR on the same map twice but once with 0 roundabouts and using traffic lights VS 0 traffic lights and using roundabouts instead. Really wanna see that later game starts of lights VS abouts
I'd be down, but there's so much rng to this that even if you play the same way it gets totally different. Just like I usually only score around 2-3k in a normal round. These are not the norm, just the ones worth for a video :)
Congrats on the high score, but just letting you know for the next time, letting the fast forward even at super speed show until the 115k is something I would watch, and avoids people in the comments saying you cheated and just changed numbers at the end. Therefore you get less stupid people here and more watch time for the youtube algorithm
Well the thing is that this match was easily going 3-4 hours. There's no way I'm putting this in and rendering it into a video :D
Nothing did happen at all at thet point.
awesome mate! you should show rbtv how to play ;)
Wow can't believe he plays with his feet!
Look up Toegamestrong for that 😂
Why didn’t you get any of the dual color malls? Is that a map thing or some trick
Either a map thing (probably because it's quite narrow) or just luck. But I'd say the first one.
Please upload the full video, this would be so long to see and i wonder how long it would actually take to get at this point!
It is technically the full video because after 8k nothing happens anymore. It just keeps going in one loop.
Where exactly are the most important places to put suppression roads (to keep houses/businesses from spawning)? I see you're placing them mostly around existing businesses and open areas, but I personally still have trouble deciding where to put my roads, especially when they are scarce.
Thanks in advance!
PS: Maybe this could be a video?
It's actually the video for tomorrow so stay tuned! :)
@@HYDROPHILPLAYS Awesome! Looking forward to it!
Why at the beginning does he surround the business corners? I thought that houses wouldn't spawn directly next to businesses early game, so I always block the spaces one further tile away (like at the beach in this example)
They do by now but this has been changed in an update. Back then when I started playing this game it was possible to spawn right next to each other. Can't get this out of my style of playing :)
@@HYDROPHILPLAYS got it! I only started playing recently, so I didn't know it was different before :-)
czcams.com/video/crxKvSC9cDg/video.html Coincidentally, at 40m36s the dev mentions this exact behavior!
That guy on number 1 place seems suspicious.
It was a hacker. Score got deleted already :)
@@HYDROPHILPLAYS glad the hackers get removed from the high score wall, can't even understand why would someone play a game just to cheat it, even as simple as mini motorways.
why do you 'block' right next to buildings (non-houses)? it has been confirmed houses can't spawn there ever so - free blocking already
That's been a new change. A while ago this wasn't a thing and buildings could spawn right next to buildings. I still got this in my system (:
Tbh blocking off spawn with roads can hardly be called intentional gamedesign.
> If you had 1000 roads and remove only 4 spaces you could exactly decide where a building spawns, so:
> Just because you only have a finite amount of roads doesn't mean that preventing spawns by randomly placing them is the legitimate way to play the game because if you HAD 1000 roads you WOULD block off all the available spaces to get the highest score... and how is that obvious cheating but doing it with 10 roads isn't? So... how many roads would you have to substract from 1000 roads till it goes from manipulating rng to intentional gamedesign.
> The tutorial doesn't even do as much as hint at the possibility of blocking off spawn spaces. Most likely because there is no way around it because spawning buildings cant just delete placed roads for the game to still work so they had to program it that way. Roads are there to connect point A to point B and not to better your odds.
> If blocking off spaces WERE intentional and legitimate then the developers could have made it so when you select a road you can leftclick to place a road or middle mouse button or something else to block off a space but that would also take away one road-resource.
Basically there is no harm done by doing it like that but saying that this is the "legitimate way to play the game" is dishonest when it is simply rng manipulation. In a game where this form of manipulation is a possibility, you are simply forced to conform to it, if you want to compete in an environment that focuses on the outcome and not on how you did it.
When they use rng manipulation in speedruns, they call it that. They don't kid themselfes by saying that this is a normal part of the game but nobody would say that the speedrun wasn't the result of the players skill.
You've come a long way from doing crate openings on RL
Sometimes I really miss the crates. But I recently saw they added some again, is that true?
@@HYDROPHILPLAYS Not really, they're little spherical containers that you cant trade and can only get by completing challenges or leveling up. They're all pretty trash tbh. You can get Uncommon, Rare, and Import crates I believe. Other than that they're useless for good items. Unless you're trading up.
Dankpods background music respext!
NICE
Impressive score! But i wonder, are the steam and iOS leaderboards for Mini Motorways seperated from one another? I’m playing the game on iOS and there the highest score is merely 15 000
Thanks! Idk honestly. Since it's out on Steam i cancelled Apple Arcade 😅
But if it's 15k on iOS it's probably seperated.
I hate the ZÜRICH map :D Thanks for the manual.
I don't think pre placing roads to kind of mold the RNG a little, because this game will always find a way to screw with you... lol
Very good
100k plus shhessshhh
There is still someone with a better score
That was a hacker whoose score got deleted anyways 🤷🏼♂️

Wow, that's really impressive! Btw, why did you stop at 113529 points?
Thanks! It would have gone on forever so either I stop or I mess up my city on purpose to lose. Couldn't find myself doing that tho :)
i like how you just ended it
Well there were two options: Press quit or destroy the city on purpose. Second one would've hurt too much (:
