The majestic Turmelon is the main source of inspiration for Aquarion artisans. Children play with Turmelon toys, merchants push their wares from Turmelon-shaped carts, and even the Aquarion monarch sits on a Turmelon-shaped throne.

SOLAR POWER UPDATE: In the mobile version of the game (App Store & Google Play), all revenues from the sales of the Zebasi tribe are invested in loans for solar power projects in rural Africa. The total amount invested in these projects is now €180.000 which has helped tens of thousands of people in Africa to get access to CO2-free electricity.

We want to thank everyone who purchased Zebasi!!!



The investment is made through the Swedish company Trine.[www.trine.com] All investments through Trine meet sustainable development goals, which were formed by the UN Development Program (UNDP)

"Farming in Zeboya is made much easier with the myriad of irrigation channels built by the Zebasi. Windmills use the power of the wind to power lifts that pull water from Lake Mozimwa into the irrigation network, keeping Waongii, Uzu, Z'nula, and other crops growing all year long!

This unmoving countdown represents the time when Diplomacy is going to be released to you, the public, but relative to some point in the near past when we simply screenshotted the promotional webpage!

Yeah, you heard us right, we're finally releasing Diplomacy! After YEARS of development, Diplomacy will move out of beta and right to your fingertips (or cursor-tips, if you're on Steam) regardless of whether or not you were in the beta!
