Twenty Minutes to Restart Civilization | 20 Minute Metropolis (City Builder Puzzle Game)

20 Minute Metropolis is a game that's part city builder and part puzzler, with a little dash of resource management thrown in for good measure. We're in the future and we must rebuild civilization by constructing a huge metropolis but we only have twenty minutes to do this. So just a small challenge then...

Our metropolis starts with just our futuristic central tower thingy but soon we find it packed with skyscrapers and fields and roads and mines and, most importantly of all, parks.

Parks are the way we increase our score, which is used at the end of each game to determine how well we did. Lots of parks equal lots of score! However the parks, particularly the magnificent ones, are quite resource intensive to build.

We have two attempts at this, with attempt one being planned as a learning game and attempt two as our 'proper' attempt.

Construct the infrastructure to rebuild civilization. Set up supply lines, mine skyscrapers for plastics, and find a place to process all the poop your people will generate. You have twenty minutes.

FEED YOUR PEOPLE
Farms generate food—those are the green dots you see below. All food is bright green. That's how you know it's fresh.

CONVERT FOOD TO WORK
Build apartments. People will take in food and generate work. And they'll poop. But you don't have to worry about the poop right now.

TRAILS TRANSPORT RESOURCES
Trails will convey resources like food and work between buildings. There's a limit to the volume of resources they can carry at any given time, so you'll need to plan your layout carefully.

Extend your reach by cutting through forest and... Uh oh...

YOUR APARTMENTS ARE FULL OF POOP
So, you build a landfill to take care of the poop. Where was I? Cut through forest to get to ancient skyscrapers, which you'll mine for metals and plastics—you're an ace recycler!

YOU HAVE DEFORESTED THE FOREST
Time to expand to other forests! But try not to tear them all down. Set up a water turbine and energy transmitters to power your search for more trees. And build some parks for points. Now you're cooking. Build a dozen high rises. More parks!

AND YOU'RE OUT OF TIME
You just rebuilt an entire civilization in 20 minutes! That's no mean feat. Heck, it's going to take folks 30 minutes to do it in the sequel.

WELCOME TO 20 MINUTE METROPOLIS!
