The game has almost 400 million downloads and 15 million monthly active users.
Other recent Nordcurrent games include the multiplayer mobile shooter Sniper Arena and the interactive crime novel Murder in the Alps, and the newest time-management game in the sky - Airplane Chefs, and game for setting fashion trends - Pocket Styler.
