Hello all!

It's been two years since we released Meadow (actually in 2 days, but we're cheating on that). It's been an interesting project to work with, and we've appreciated all your input and enthusiasm along the way. Todays update is a mix of a lot of ideas and input, shaped through an M&D lens.
Regardless if you're an old or new player, we hope that you'll enjoy our second anniversary update.

But without further ado, here is what's new for today:

• A new toy: Snow piles
  
• One new skin for the Hedgehog (from the Hedgehog skin art contest)
  
• 6 new achievements
