====Mobile App Android Requirements Changing====
+
==== The Great Winter Hunt is Coming to an End ====
An upcoming update to the MouseHunt Android app will upgrade the framework the app is built on to improve performance and incorporate important security updates into the app. As part of the upgrade, the minimum supported Android version will change from Jelly Bean (4.1) to KitKat (4.4). This update will improve performance and stability and is required to continue to support some features such as the ability to sign in with Facebook.
+
Congratulations MouseHunters, thanks to your valiant efforts, the Frost King's forces are retreating!
 
 
''In terms of version numbers, the update will change the minimum supported version from Android v4.1 (API level 16 - Released in July 2012) to Android v4.4 (API level 19 - Released in October 2013).''
 
  
At the moment, there are approximately 325 active devices which will no longer be able to download the MouseHunt app from Google Play once this update goes live. If you're one of these affected players, you'll still be able to use the app if it is installed on your device, however, you will not be able to download updates or reinstall the app should you remove it from your device. We understand it can be inconvenient and frustrating to no longer be able to update the app and, as such, held off on applying this update for as long as we could. However, we have reached the point where features of the app will no longer work unless we apply this type of update.
+
After the relentless barrage of Hailstones from the brave hunters of Gnawnia, the Frost King's icy powers are waning and the Great Winter Taiga is beginning to thaw.
  
====Update Release and Availability====
+
Soon all the snow will be gone and the Frost King and his forces will go into hiding for another year.
We are currently wrapping up testing for the update and if testing continues to go well, plan to publish the update to Google Play during the week of March 23, 2020. This release may be postponed if any significant issues arise during testing.
 
  
Thank you for your understanding as we take this necessary step to maintain functionality, performance, and security for the mobile app. Happy hunting!

This year the King is continuing the newly introduced tradition of opening the doors to His Majesty's top-secret and super-hidden SUPER|brie+ Factory! The factory has once again been gently lifted from the ocean floor just east of the Harbour where its regular shipments of SUPER|brie+ are so often delivered via submersible.

Get started by hunting with any standard type of cheese to attract mice that drop Coggy Colby Cheese. Using Coggy Colby will attract unique mice which drop various parts you can use to repair the damage the mice have done to the factory. Each mouse you capture with Coggy Colby will also safeguard the pumping operation, progressing delicious cheese through the production line and eventually producing a crate full of SUPER|brie+.
