Mini Metro is moving on down the line to two new destinations!
First up, design and maintain a network covering the megacity of Lagos, Nigeria. Can you keep the 21 million residents of Africa's biggest city moving on time?
Then hop over the Atlantic to Chile to help get the commuters of Santiago to their destinations. Nestled among the snow-capped Andes, this South American metropolis needs your expert planning hand.
We have a major feature update coming soon, plus another map update later this year, so keep your eyes peeled!
