Can somebody tell me please why we have those crazy candle skulls? Is there somebody’s birthday we must celebrate? If so, here is a nice 🎂 for them… 🎇 😗 ---

It’s most likely due to the GOW anniversery. They’ve also released a pet, Tiny Torte for the occasion. ![Pet_088](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/6/5/6532c02510de0901f1501790e5bcf7fe840aeb71.png) ---

As other have said, it’s GoW’s birthday this week. The game has prospered for four full years now. Very few games can list that accomplishment on their resumes/CVs. 👍 ---

Aha, GoW has his birthday. Well happy Birthday then. 🎊 Fourth birthday? So I’m one of the “oldies” then? I’m playing GoW since november 2014… So that makes it a bit my anniversary too then. Well anyway, again a very happy birthday/anniversary to GoW and all the first hour players. 🎇🎆🎇 🎉 ---

@Cyrup Just a quick question though… Why is that it’s the 4th anniversary but the skulls have 5 candles on their heads? ---

I’m disappointed with the design, there are similarities to mini mimic. It just screams lazy design imo. ---

Skulls have no brain and thus they can’t count 🤪
