Mini Motorways News

Greetings, commuters!

You asked, and we listened! We’re so excited to share that you can now enjoy Mini Motorways at your own speed with two exciting new modes - Endless Mode and Expert Mode. Whether you want to take the pressure off in Endless Mode and explore each city at your leisure, or go for a joyride in Expert Mode and kick it up a notch, Mini Motorways’ biggest update so far brings something for everyone.

Endless Mode introduces a brand new way of playing Mini Motorways! Start a new game in Classic Mode, and after you reach the Game Over screen, you can continue in Endless Mode to continue your excellent urban planning and explore the city that could have been! Alternatively, if you’re after a relaxing gameplay session, you can explore Mini Motorways the zen-way by playing Endless Mode right from the start.

Expert Mode comes with a new set of challenges and obstacles, such as permanent roads and limited upgrades. The choice is yours: you can pick from any upgrade, but only for the first eight weeks - after that, it’s just road tiles! This mode is perfect for players who want to switch up their strategy and kick it up a notch.

Unlock Expert Mode for each map by playing some of the unique city challenges available while you explore the 15 iconic destinations available, from Tokyo to Lisbon and many more. In addition to these exciting new game modes, this update brings tweaks to photo mode, all-new Endless Mode and Expert Mode achievements, and a new Expert Mode leaderboard so you can see how you stack up against other Mini Motorways enthusiasts! We've also added the ability to manually zoom in on your city as well as several different zoom levels, so you can choose how you'd like to play.

We hope you enjoy exploring these two new game modes and can’t wait to see how you tackle them your way!

We want to take a moment to thank our amazing community for their support for Endless and Expert Mode! We know it’s been a highly-requested feature for a long time and we’re so thrilled to be able to share this with you all. Mini Motorways was always going to be special to us as our sophomore release, but the passion and creativity of our wonderful community helps make it even more so. Your support and enthusiasm are everything to us and we hope you enjoy the Endless & Expert update.

This update includes:
• Endless Mode - a brand new way of playing Mini Motorways, allowing you to enjoy the game without the threat of a city ending before you want it to, or for those wishing to keep playing after Game Over, you can continue your city in Endless Mode and explore the city that could have been.
• Expert Mode - Unlock a new set of challenges and obstacles, such as permanent roads and limited upgrades, perfect for players who want to switch up their strategy and kick it up a notch. This new game mode also comes with its own leaderboard so you can see how you measure up against the game’s most skilled city planners.
• New Endless Mode and Expert Mode achievements.
• We've also added the ability to manually zoom in to your city as well as several different zoom levels, so you can choose how you'd like to play. These features were much-requested by our community, so thank you for your feedback!
• A new button has been added to the weekly upgrade screen which allows you to view your city before selecting your upgrade.
• New visual indicators for in-game error messages to reduce the number of pop-up boxes on screen.

Hello, city planners!

We are so thrilled to finally announce that our upcoming Endless & Expert Update, featuring two highly-requested game modes, will be available from November 3rd PST.

Endless Mode offers you a chance to transform our 15 iconic cities into a canvas of artistic roadwork and traffic efficiency, all without the threat of a Game Over. Kick back and watch your map expand as you design the city of your dreams, ideal for those who want to play Mini Motorways the zen way. Earn upgrades along the way by achieving milestones and building an efficient city, but say goodbye to the score and the leaderboard – this mode is all about removing the pressure!

Expert Mode introduces new challenges and obstacles that resemble real-life city planning challenges, such as permanent upgrade and road tile placement. Early-game strategy becomes all the more important here because there’s no going back! Vie for a chance to beat the best of the best by placing on the new Expert Mode leaderboards. Before you can compete against the highest tier of civil engineers, you'll need to reach a certain score on any of the maps' challenges in order to unlock Expert Mode.

The fun doesn’t stop there, though! This update will feature various quality-of-life improvements requested by our awesome community. Discover a new multi-level manual zoom option to choose your preferred way to draw roads in your city on every platform, and make well-informed decisions with the ability to view your current city layout before choosing an upgrade at the end of each week. These last two are features we've sourced directly from community feedback - thanks to everyone over the last year who's taken the time to share your thoughts.

We’re so lucky to have such an inspiring community that supports our games and helps us to continually make Mini Motorways better and better! We know these game modes have been highly desired in the community for a long time and we’re so happy to be able to turn that vision into reality.
