Can you imagine if a city worker came to your door and said they were sorry for the inconvenience, but they had to build a highway from your house straight to your office and it would be done in 30 seconds.
"Thirty seconds? Thirty Seconds?! I pay $400,000 for a new sod baseball field, $1,000,000 for a senior center in the Depot, and you think you get to take a whole Thirty Fucking Seconds of my time to build a road???" Pretty much verbatim a conversation I had with a neighbor when a water main broke, it was neither of ours, we didn't flood and they were already fixing it.
And that they're changing where your driveway goes
"I wish I could relocate houses" then this would be the start of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Your profile picture looks like Mr. Bean from afar
@ 🤣 it does!
you have my full permission to do another (or ten more) videos of this. im fully immersed
Thank you for commenting this- its exactly what I was thinking
I bought Mini Metros mistaking it for this game at the time, and I am loving both. Best $2 spent
"jsut one more lane, trust me, one more lane and we'll fix traffic bro trust me one more lane trus-"

The reason you prefer roundabouts is because they are objectively superior for traffic flow in reality too XD that's why the Netherlands has so many of them XD
This is (yet another) one of those "what every country in the world does except for the USA" things... (but in this case: also Canada doesn't do roundabouts, for no good reason)
We have a couple where I live in Canada but nowhere near enough
@@vampyrekyng_lex I live in Vancouver. There's a couple in the middle of some residential areas here, where there's no traffic (so they're entirely unnecessary). None near any major traffic routes.
@@brianlynchehaun7079 There's quite a few roundabouts in newer sections of cities in Canada. I'm in small town Nova Scotia and there's like three roundabouts in the commercial shopping area
@@LatterDayMutant I'm glad to hear it. They're largely non-existent in Vancouver. My understanding is that they largely don't exist in either Edmonton or Toronto (I've spent very little time in either).
Every time Gab puts a tunnel in my head I just hear "SECRET TUNNEEEEEEEEL"
Watching you play this was so fun, I'd love to see more mini motorway!
One of my favorite things about Gabs is that her love for things is infectious.
Traffic lights let cars go full speed on intersections and can be useful when a cross intersection has high traffic on one side and low on the other. Also, traffic lights are smart, so it will stay green for one side if there's no demand on the other(s).
Yes, that is the claim made by folk in favour of traffic lights. Except that "going full speed" almost never happens, and people can maintain a fairly decent speed (similar to traffic lights) with roundabouts. All empirical data shows that roundabouts are better for infrastructure than lights except in some rare cases.
@@brianlynchehaun7079 They're talking about the game bro
@@CinderandJack Fair enough so, my bad.
The issue is that traffic lights only seem to work properly on a four-way intersection at 90 degrees. What's more, the bonus they provide is very minimal (hence why you get two). They can patch up minor problems to ease pressure from a borderline situation, but they're not going to solve major congestion.
tl;dr
Traffic lights (only) work with an intersection that has a lot of cars taking one route, and few cars taking another route.
After playing the game myself, traffic lights are also beneficial for tighter areas where a roundabout doesn't fit
its always interesting to see how people decide to manage the traffic, I always tried my best to keep colors separate and not let them share roads too often, i also used roundabouts wherever I could and minimized the use of intersections and traffic lights to a minimum, you also dont HAVE to connect every house to a road just enough to feed the businesses that are connected. using angles for the roads covers more distance so avoid 90 degree angles. I could go on and on 😅
I personally like 90 degree angles with houses because it looks nice. I also use extra roads to block off spaces so businesses don’t get placed in awful areas
@@Freetreedumb yes! blocking off areas with roads is a great tool! I understand the houses look better, i mean its your game so if that works for you thats awesome, but it takes up a road tile so when things get tight for me all my houses get shifted anyway so i just do it from the start to avoid the stopping and rearranging all the time😅
Gab “It’s on iOS”
Me *Downloads immediately*
Love you Gab! Watching you, Seán and OF COURSE BB is always the highlight of my day❤
Did you get it from the Apple Arcade?
i went to go download and its under a stupid apple subscription 😭 guess im never playing it again
Having a game you already like ask for a sponsorship sounds like the best, congrats Gab. This is one of those games where I get a strong feeling that playing it myself wouldn't be half as relaxing as watching you play. 😅 The sound design is so satisfying though, very tempting! (Also please say "bless you" to BB from me haha. The cutest sneezes! 😻)
First Luma Island, then Vampire Survivors, and now this. Gab has gotten me hooked onto so many amazing games; thank you Gab for all you do!
Perfect time to watch as I'm sick. Drinking lots of tea, taking lots of naps and then I get to watch this calm video!
hope you get better soon!!
Feel better soon pal! Consider an extra soft blanket too, maybe a cookie ❤️
I have bought more games presented on this channel than any other source. So many excellent games shown here.
Thank you for this channel.
The little blups and blops are sooo satisfying!
I've had the worst day and was just browsing your channel for a video to watch because you're my comfort youtuber, so this came at the perfect time, thank you ❤
Gab and Seán are perfect for any mood I’m in, when I’m happy and cozy or stressed I go to Gab and when I’m sad and needing an energy boost I go to Seán. Then for a mega serotonin boost I watch their collabs ❤ They both always help make a bad day better
Hope you feel better Ember 😊
Same Ember. I hope yours gets better!! Much love 🩵
Sorry it's hard! Glad you're here with us for the cozy vibes! It's what I needed today too :)
This community is so sweet and supportive, immaculate vibes ❤️
Thanks all, you're sweethearts for real 🫂
This game has been on my wishlist for awhile, but now I think I absolutely need it. What a dangerously perfect procrastination game!
Stop giving my procrastination ideas 😂😂😂😂
This was such a lovely video to have on in the background! My only complaint is the cars on the Cairns map should really be driving on the left hand side of the road because it's Australia :P
@@kittenmitten9430 no, it's the other way around. Australia should switch to right-hand-side traffic :)
I’m advocating for a full series on this! This is so relaxing yet exciting at the same time
Hey Gab, if you plan on playing more of this game, a few tips on making it easier.
1. You can edit your roads while the game is paused. If it becomes chaotic, just pause and essentially nuke the roads to make them more efficient.
2. You can bend the highways so they dont interact with the mountains. They can only bend in arc shape, but I do my best to push those roads to their limits.
3. Lastly, you kind of did it, angling roads diagonally and same with houses, save you more roads so when you are offered those highways and they always give you fewer roads you'll always have some to spare
"this game is quite peaceful sometimes!" *me yelling at the screen* : "the dark blue house!! the dark blue house has no connection gab!!" - all jokes aside, i did end up buying this game and it's metro counterpart on steam because it looks fun, and my husband apparently loves the metro one.
I know it won't happen, but I would adore an entire series of just this game. I don't need anything else. Just Gab playing this game. Happiness.
The little pops from the music/effects going between the different sides of my headphones is driving me a smidge bananas.
This game is now my new current obsession! I've been playing since I watched your video!! I actually paused mid video went and downloaded the game and continued to watch you play while I played
you have me hooked ten mins in! i feel hypnotised hahaha. the mix of gabs voice the music and the sound effects are greattt.
I love this game I play loads on the switch! I have some tips for future games (I'm hoping you make this a series hehe):
1. Use spare roads to block out space, especially at the beginning, to try and prevent warehouses from spawning too close to each other or in awkward positions. You can then delete the roads later when you need the roads back!
2. I try as much as possible to separate out each colour into its own traffic system, only merging them in late game when I have no other choice. It sometimes means the routes are a bit longer but prevents traffic down the line!
3. You can build while paused to give yourself more time to fix things when its all getting overwhelming
4. And finally, when severely in doubt, remember you can delete your entire map and reroute the whole city (while everythings paused) and try something new haha
You inspired me to try this game out and I LOVE it. It's raining where I am atm and playing this game is so relaxing. I also love the strategy in it. It's a cozy game but my brain is still pleasantly stimulated. It's like I can feel my neurons getting drawn along with the roads as I play and learn the patterns 😄
This game is partially chill and partially stressful, I see what you mean! Halfway through and I’m like “THE CHAOS” 😂😂 and “STOP ADDING HOUSES!”
I personally would practice a lot in Endless mode, just so I can learn the best strats before doing normal mode. When switching to Endless mode at the end of the normal run, I would remove every component and essentially start over to better plan out the ideal setup. That way I'd know more efficiently on how to set up my roads, tunnels, and freeways before attempting normal mode
Side note, its amazing to me that strategy game developers are so intelligent about their game mechanics. Or when writers for fandoms like Yugioh and Pokemon can come up with duels/battles when irl the draw of cards or how the opponent will act is based mostly on luck. I've always been fascinated by how people can do that, and seemingly so easily, bc it sounds so complicated
Creators are amazing!
Please do more of this game!! I never heard of this game before and I’m obsessed. Great video!
When I was a kid, I used to have a bunch of hot wheels cars and old popsicle sticks. I used to do this exact thing. Making roads and buildings and parking lots and trying to direct traffic flow 😂 please do more of this game. It was so much fun to watch
As an American surrounded by traffic lights - they also don’t work in real life, lmao
Gab is my favourite source for new games to play lol, so many of the things I see here go straight on the steam wishlist
I would watch a whole series of this
Lowkey, i would love to see a series of this
Watching this while I work and every time I look up, the city hath expanded quite impressibly 👀 a mini motorways empire
7:50 I saw that! Cutting through the roundabout!
Got half way into the video and just had to reinstall mini motorways so I could play alongside watching XD
I was just looking for something to knit to! Thanks for the upload, this is so cute
This healed something in me, no lie
Gab, your sweater matches the game; it's cute
The lil bleep bleep bloop bloop sounds are so cute & relaxing to listen to 😌
I was very addicted to this game when playing it on Apple arcade really worth the money
I loved the look of this so much I bought it on Switch before you even finished the tutorial! I’ve been addicted ever since and had to come back to watch the full video at work since I can’t play it. Definitely would watch more of this. 💕
I've been playing this for YEARS! I love this game. Apple had it forever ago and I fell in love. It's so easy to just pick up and get sucked in.
Cairns in Australia is pronounced basically like "Cans" ignore the R in the word!
Australian roads?? Get ready to be Aggressive 😂😂😂
When she started and was like “merge that” I was like, good luck lady! We dunno merge!
Got an ad for a HOG while watching this.. feels right. this was such a satisfying game too!
Somehow this game is one that I got really excited watching you play that I had to get it! As soon as you said iPad I knew it’d be perfect. Thanks for putting me on another awesome game💜
Gab's shirt matches the game so well haha
I’m so glad you noticed haha!!
7:47 BB!
Oh this is fun! It reminds me of networking problems in my math class at university haha
27:40 Snoozles is my new fave word
All kitty sneezes shall now be referred to as snoozles in my household moving forwards.
This is so satisfying but also makes my control freak side get excited and I can feel myself going wait regroup these houses change that roadway do this instead lol I think I just need to play this myself!
I was literally just thinking I want to watch someone play this so bad! You dropping this rn was perfect!!!
to cancel feom big buildings to spawn in open spaces just place a random road to block building from spawning
The jumper Gab wears fits so perfectly to the game 😍
I LOVE this game! I’m so excited to watch how your brain takes it on!
opens random Gab video, sees your home town as lil cute game. much love
I could watch you play this for HOURS. DAYS even.
This is such a nice game to have on in the background while i game on my switch. Please do more Gabs!
Very cool game, both relaxing and stressful.
And the cameo kitty at 7:55!
I’ve been looking for chill games to add to my Switch collection. So glad you uploaded this!
More, please!
I’m in love with this game, watching this video was extremely relaxing and enjoyable
Sponsorship worked. I bought the game a couple of minutes in. Looks similar to their other game Mini Metro, and a bit like the Train Valley series, which I also love as a chill game.
Watching you play these types of games is so fun! I love this and I hope you do more (if you want)
I used to play this OBSESSIVELY! I’m SO so glad you’re playing it!!
Love this game! It's both chill and stressful, which is not easy to pull off well.
I've never heard of this game but I must buy it immediately! It looks like just the kind of thing I'd enjoy.
This is amazing, also reminds me of the traffic manager games, which are less cozy and more chaotic. lol
This is such a cute game and it’s added to my game list! I would 100% love to see you play more of this!
This game is very cute and I enjoy watching you play but the idea of playing myself is pure anxiety.
This is exactly what I needed in order to get some work done today! Love these videos :)
This game is so delightful; it's like a cozy chaotic game. After the week I've had, this is so pleasant. I hope you consider playing it more for the channel! Can you change the roads while paused?
it was so fun to watch, please do more of this game!!
need more of this religiously, actually
This chill game just makes me want to watch it as a series
AAAAA i was so hoping Gab would eventually play this game!! It's so amazing and cozy and i love it dearly :]
Great to see this video come up!
I would love to see this as a series on your channel!
I could watch this for hours!! It´s so soothing and addictive to watch you play this game XD
I LOVE this game, I'm so happy you decided to play it!! ❤
Oh gosh this looks so fun! I do be loving watching the tiny cars go across the screen, might have to get this for myself 🙈
I think being able to upgrade the parking lots in the single building spots would be a nice addition to the game, since only 2-4 spaces forces the cars wanting to go in to have to stop and wait. It would help lessen traffic that way
This is such a soothing game and I’d love to see you play more of it! 💕
God, got me interested in this game! Would love to see more, it's so chaotic for how calm you would assume it to be!
I need more videos of this!
tip: you don't have to unpause to build roads
Watching you play this makes me wanna see you play games like oxygen not included etc. i personally think you'd have a blast with that one (if you don't mind the fact that it gets SOOOOO stressful as you go lmao)
Oh no, you reignited my addiction to this game!
this game looks very fun and calm! definitely downloading it for myself :D thanks gab!
Oh I love this game! Been playing for years, and got it on my switch as well. It's perfect for one the go! So fun that you're making a video about it, grats on the sponsor!
gab im loving the jumper, very cool vibes and also aroace sunset colours 😊
I love this game. Watching others play ot specifically. Its so relaxing to watch for me.
This was fun to watch!
I can’t even drive so to me this video was just do-dee-do’s and Gab occasionally yelling about a random colour 😂
If you like this, you should definitely check out Mini Metro! It’s by the same dev and it’s the same concept but with public transit.
YAY! I've been waiting for Gabs to play this, I love the game
i love this game, wish it was a series! 🎉🎉🎉
Such a calming video!!! I would love to see more
Honestly, this seems super fun to me, def gonna try it out
this has such TurmOil vibes I love it
