Sorry I didn't post all this sooner, but I've been busy exploring all the new things. One of the most noticible is the new arcade.
This is the entrance. In the corner is a new poll that lets you tell AJHQ your ideas for new games. I posted my idea for Pet Games. You could train your pets, take them on walks, have a talent contest, or maybe even a fashion show! (They'd have to come up with more accessories for that, though. Maybe mini versions of the things our animals wear?)
One of the coolest things of the arcade is the new game. There are three shooters: blue, purple, and red. You are trying to shoot down a phantom's spaceship. If your color matches the color of the ship's forcefield, you win a prize, new, action-figure collectibles of all of AJ's current land animals.
You can also buy video games again, which is good for everyone except people like me who had video games when they were rare, after the store stopped selling them. I guess people will just have to find another way to make epic dens.
There is one cool thing; you can now buy pill bugs and fruit slinger!
This is also the month of the Friendship Festival. I don't know if there is anything special about this besides new letters to send because this is my first year on Animal Jam. Guess I'll just have to wait and find out!
Oh, and in the next update penguins are coming. I'm pretty sure no one was surprised.
The newest contest is to create a buddy themed Jam-A-Gram. Here's mine:
There are also going to be rare item Mondays. I'm super excited about these and am currently stock-piling gems so I don't miss these; they're only in stores for that day!
I think that about sums up the update. Comment if you think I'm missing anything!
