Incredibly slick and streamlined little puzzle game, with more depth than you'd expect from its simplistic premise and presentation.
There are a couple of things I wish the game had explained better: for a very long time I assumed the traffic AI was much smarter than it was, which meant I ended up building hundreds of unused relief roads. However aside from this, the game does a very good job of quickly teaching you the bare minimum you need to know to play.
The actual game itself is extremely addicting, but the early and late game can be a little frustrating. The game could really use a 3rd speed setting to speed up the early game where there is nothing to do but wait, and the complexity of the networks you end up building can make failure appear to come out of nowhere towards the end. But overall, this is near enough exactly what you want from a pick-up-and-go puzzle game, and I can thoroughly recommend.
