Freeways in IOS

Interchange Design Simulator

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

91/100

Freeways is a brilliant, minimalist take on civil engineering that is as addictive as it is frustrating (in the best way). It turns the complex task of interchange design into a tactile 'finger-painting' experience. The game’s 8-bit aesthetic hides a very deep simulation; you have to consider bridge heights, throughput, and the sheer cost of concrete. There’s something immensely satisfying about watching your spaghetti-junction actually work without a traffic jam.

The 2.0 update finally added the most requested feature: an Undo button. This completely changes the flow of the game, allowing for more experimentation without the penalty of redoing a whole map. It’s a pure 'Captain Games' title—much like Desert Golfing, it focuses on a singular, polished mechanic and lets the player find the fun in the optimization. It’s an absolute must-buy for puzzle and simulation fans.

A whole new 80 level map awaits!

Concrete on the map is cheaper and more plentiful, but traffic is worse! Luckily we've invented toll booths to earn some extra efficiency points.

At long last, Undo technology has been invented!

And finally, your best scoring designs will be saved while you work on potential improvements. You can restore your highest scoring design at any time.
