I am also skeptical about using it over a tried-and-true vector program like Illustrator. More info can be found […]

While Dinosaur Polo Club’s Mini Metro – the minimalistic subway building game – has been available for PC via the Steam gaming portal for some time now, it’s only just been ported to mobile devices in the last couple of weeks.
