Essentially a SimCity remake, but with most of the boring features removed to facilitate city infrastructure planning and growth. Metro4K is a Java application that was written for the J4K 2007 Competition, with a file size measuring a measly 4096 bytes.

Click on the map to view a different section, or on the main window to start zoning some areas. Use basic building blocks to mould your city – divided into residental, commercial and industrial plots, then connect them by laying down some roads. Power supplies are still required, though utilites have been combined to simplify matters.

There’s no save/load option, and the author did note that it wasn’t possible with the size limitation. You could leave the window running for the entire night, of course…
