Our lead dev Cathy just scored #6 in creativity and #9 overall for her new game Spinfluencer! It's a game of skill, timing, and observation, with serious social commentary bundled up into an absurd tongue-in-cheek narrative. She even recorded a behind-the-scenes vlog to get a glimpse of her process.

Currently working on monthly challenge #22 and we're cackling because it works so well but it is so evil 😈 Any guesses?
Question for fans! If there were a holiday megamix challenge, which is more appealing: more focus on global or familiar-to-American-audience holidays? I'm torn between adding in Eid and Diwali flowers, or Valentine's and St. Patrick's Day flowers. Either way will make for a fun challenge! #Primrows
Sometimes I get midway through June and am like "oh wow its Pride" however this month at the strike of midnight it was a OMG PRIIIIDEEEE Anywho- this month's challenge really helps with that excitement :3 #Primrows
