"We're proud of what Backyard Monsters has achieved over the last two years. It was a huge leap forward in terms of what was possible in the browser from a design perspective and proved that high quality games could exist on the Facebook platform," said David Scott, co-founder and executive producer at KIXEYE. "It's come a long way since we launched, and it continues to highlight our desire to innovate, take risks and make the most fun browser-based games on the planet."
The mission has always been a simple one - to keep Backyard Monsters fresh and exciting for both new and experienced players. With new content added nearly every week, the game has become a powerhouse with many times the monsters and buildings since the game started. Its graphical overhaul after the first six months - from cutesy monsters to blood-thirsty beasts - was just the beginning of the Backyard universe's re-invention. Since its humble origins, the game has continued to innovate by launching a World Map, Champion Monsters, and the underground world of Inferno.
Backyard Monsters has earned many hours of devoted gameplay from fans since its inception:
-- 20,000,000,000+ gallons of virtual blood spilled
-- 3,000,000,000+ monsters created
-- 200,000,000+ PVP attacks
-- 175,000,000+ hours played
-- 20,000,000+ game installs
Dedicated fans can now visit the newly implemented Facebook Timeline for the Backyard Monsters page at http://www.facebook.com/BackyardMonsters. As part of the continued anniversary celebration, Backyard Monsters will also host Monster Madness - an exclusive community event in which players have the opportunity to search high and low to claim an all-new Inferno Champion Monster, Korath, for their very own. With a little luck and a lot of monster bloodshed, Korath will make its home in the winning players' Yards.
A monster's craving for blood and mayhem is never fully satisfied. Help them satiate their thirst: apps.facebook.com/backyardmonsters.
