Gameplay overview

Lay tracks for every traveler

State Connect is a calming logistics puzzler about drawing highways that keep every city on your map in motion. Drag new roads between hubs, manage intersections to avoid bottlenecks, and upgrade stations so passengers keep flowing to their destinations.

Longer routes unlock airports and high-speed trains, rewarding efficient layouts with bigger payouts and visually vibrant upgrades.

Controls

Pointer-first planning

  • Left-click / Drag: Draw or extend roads between cities, place upgrades, and interact with UI buttons.
  • Mouse wheel / Pinch: Zoom the camera in or out to plot complex routes.
  • Right-click: Cancel a line while drawing if you need to reroute.

Why play it?

Relaxing transport tinkering

  • Satisfying progression loop that evolves humble country roads into glowing megacity infrastructures.
  • Simple click-and-drag mechanics make it easy to iterate on designs without punishing restarts.
  • Soothing soundtrack and minimalist visuals provide a cozy, pick-up-and-play logistics challenge.

Tips

Keep the grid flowing

  • Upgrade core hubs early—boosted capacity prevents jams when new states unlock.
  • Use sweeping curves rather than sharp angles to minimize overlapping routes at intersections.
  • Save room around airports; large terminals need clear space for future connections.
