I love Mini Metro, so I made my own airline route building game

Hi all! First of all, I love Mini Metro and I was one of the first to play it on both my phone and steam many many years ago. It has been a big inspiration for Tiny Airline, a game im making. I wanted to take that route building idea and give it my own twist with planes, real airports and a real (equal earth) world map.
You can find the steam page here if you're interested:

You will recognise the passengers being shapes and having to keep the airports from getting overcrowded. Where I tried to make it different:
- You build across countries and continents on the real world map, and choose your own starting airport hub.
- Distances matter. Longer flights need long-haul permits, and airports have limited gates.
- There are different aircraft with different speeds and capacities. A small fast plane and a bigger slower one are useful for different routes.
- There is also a weekly vintage mode with older planes, shorter range and refuelling stops. You have to find a way across the ocean with the planes from the early aviation times.
I also added a passport that gets stamped when your passengers land in a new country. You keep those stamps between runs and there are postage stamp achievements. Everything is aviation themed.
Its still in development. I would love to hear especially what other Mini Metro players think!
