Thank you Google Play team and happy birthday!”.

Focusing on smartphone platforms iOS and Android, Touchten’s most popular game is probably Sushi Chain which has been downloaded more than 2 million times. End of last year, Touchten also announced distribution partnership with China-based Yodo1 in order to push their games Infinite Sky and Sky Beauty to Chinese market.
