First birthday!

Hello Animal Lovers! 💘

There haven't been many posts for a while now, but we were crazy busy for planning and developing Animal Shelter, our team still take notes of your suggestion and ideas and we have plan to develop the game more.... and more to prepare surprises! 😀

It's possible that most of you haven't noticed how much time has passed since we took the first step of releasing our game… And since that premiere, it has been exactly:

This means that quite recently, we miss the first birthday of Animal Shelter 🎂 🎉

A lot has happened during this year, and it took a lot of work, commitment, a lot of screen shots viewed, a lot of bugs corrected but most importantly, endless learning from our entire Team ✍️

During this time, you - our players, have been our fuel to keep going and encouraged us to overcome new challenges. You gave us a lot of patience, lots of advice, and sent us many soothing and morale-restoring messages. We talk with many of you personally, and **this is incredibly important to us. **
