Gnomes News

Hello friends!

Firstly, thank you everyone who's played the demo so far! We've had almost 2000 new players download the Gnomes first time, welcome everyone who's just joined us!

If you haven't already, make sure you give Gnomes a wishlist, and leave a review (it really helps us a lot!)



Yesterday we were lucky enough to have two of our favourite creators cover Gnomes on their channels! After watching their videos we noticed a things that we could do better, so we've decided do a quick update that improves the game even more! Here's a couple of videos to check out if you haven't tried Gnomes yet:
