Among our favourite recent iOS titles, Simogo's Silver Award-winning Bumpy Road is set to receive a significant update within the next seven days.

Speaking exclusively to Pocket Gamer, the developer's art and sound designer Simon Flesser said the new update would "triple the content of [main game mode] Sunday Trip."

Two new tracks, named Sprint and Marathon, are also included, while the original Sunday Trip stage has been renamed Classic. Both new tracks will have around 60 new level segments - around the same tally as the Classic stage - making for a total of just under 200 across the Sunday Trip mode.

Also new is a collectible item named the Brake Gizmo. "Instead of giving you a turbo, [it] slows you down temporarily", Flesser explained. "It adds a bit of suspense to the new tracks."

With new leaderboards and five new achievements, the update should satisfy those (including me) who grumbled that the original game was too short.

Flesser informed Pocket Gamer that the update was currently in review, and could be released at any point between tomorrow and next week. The first shot of the new content can be seen in our gallery.
