In April and May we have managed to sign up with Cam Newton – the American football player, Ronaldo: Kick 'n'Run went into soft launch and just a few days ago we signed an agreement with Lima Sky, creator of the highly successful Doodle Jump. With this in mind, we are following our ambi- tious plan with nine games to be launched in 2016 and more to come in 2017. The financial results for Q1 2016 differ from our expectations, but our first priority will always be to deliver the best games possible – even if it burdens the financial results in the short term. We are confident that it will pay off in the long run”.
