Join the Country Hoedown: Farmerama Celebrates its First Birthday

HAMBURG, Germany, January 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

- Over 20 Million Farmerama Players Invited to Join in the Festivities

- Great Cake Contest to Honor Farmerama's Birthday

For millions of players around the world, virtual farming has become part of their daily life. With over 140 million fluffy sheep grazing the game's landscape, Bigpoint's successful casual game Farmerama (http://www.farmerama.com) has more sheep than in all of New Zealand - an impressive number considering New Zealand has more sheep than inhabitants (34 million sheep vs. 4.3 million inhabitants). But that's not all: The size of all Farmerama farms put together is larger than the total area of Russia. The online farming sensation at http://www.bigpoint.com hasn't just won the hearts of fans but of juries across the world over. In 2010, Farmerama pocketed various awards including the European Games Award, the Lara Online Award, the German Developer Award and the newly created Mashable Award. With all this success and Farmerama's first birthday rapid approaching, Bigpoint has decided to throw a huge celebration and thank all its loyal Farmerama fans as well as welcome new players to the game.

The icing on the cake

There's plenty of cake to go around, thanks to a special cake cannon, which will give every player one 500-calrorie cupcake each day. The higher a player's level, the larger and higher their cake will be in calories. Players can feed their animals the cake and can also buy other snazzy birthday items in the supply store.
