This is an easy to learn game, with missions to complete, earn rewards and compete in weekly tournaments. While flying, you also have to collect coins and prisms on the way. This is nothing different than any other running game, but it is still interesting to see yourself flying as a witch.My Shops is a decoration and management game, in which you build your own stores, design them, decorate them and manage them with your management skills. With regular updates, purchases and extensions, you become a better shop owner than your friends.

Although Pretty Simple is a French company, they use English language in their games as well as in their working environments. With developers, designers, artists and testers from different parts of the world, they have a highly efficient team to develop top class games in the industry. Till date, they have released 3 games, and are constantly working towards further innovations and developments. We look forward to more interesting games from Pretty Simple in future.
