The Game

This fast-paced thinking puzzle puts you at the switch guiding subway cars through miles of mazes as you manage subway systems around the world, from New York to Seoul.

The Design

Subway Scramble has an elegant and abstract infographics look that contrasts with the happy cartoony graphics of typical casual games. The real-time interaction combines action and strategy into a different kind of gameplay that we still haven’t seen very much in downloadable games. We also like the token-based level unlocking, which lets players pick and choose the levels they want to play.

• More than 40 levels of exciting, fast-paced game play
• Manage subway systems in 5 different cities
• 2 modes of play: Around the World and Rush Hour
• High score tracking and automatic game save
• Great rewards and surprise special effects
• Unique hip visuals, music and sounds
