Like bananas? We sure do. But lately, we’ve noticed a pretty big problem: the tasty yellow fruit has become hard to find in the world of Bread ‘n Butter.

A powerful storm struck our banana producers last November, flooding thousands of acres of rich farmland. The affected areas can’t produce any more bananas for several months.

What a bummer! Many of us enjoy bananas as tasty snacks (our very own BnB guru, Kutsu, really likes them with peanut butter), but with the shortage, Benji and his friends are in a panic!

Can you help them?

Between April 24 and May 1 (PDT), we are holding a special competition!

Here’s how it works: play Banana Beats as you normally would. We will track all scores during the event period, but only the ones that complete the mission (see image)!

Don’t have the Banana Beats game yet? Get it FREE in the Bread ‘n Butter store (accessible inside the game).

At the end of the competition, we will announce the top 20 Banana Beat pros. As a special thank you from Benji, we will do a raffle at the end of the event and the winners will receive a FREE mini game of their choice! Good luck!

HINT: didn’t we JUST release an item that gave you extra bananas?

Our special Earth Day event is now live! Visit http://events.outspark.com/2008/earthday for full details on this unique celebration that lasts until April 20.

During the event we will be donating a portion of the proceeds from every premium item sold to plant trees. Help us reach our goal of 10,000 trees!

Many cool new premium items are now available:

Fiesta - Earth Day Mini House
This thing is awesome. Enough said.

Fiesta - Earth Day Suit
This stylish outfit is PERMANENT when you buy the Earth Day 2008 Pack

Secret of the Solstice - Earth Day Emoticon
Use it on a friend and give them +50 HP

Bread ‘n Butter - Earth Day Benji
Gives +50 bananas when you play the Banana Beats game

Earth Day is later this month, and we’ve been working on a special little something in preparation for the event. New items and a unique contest is on the way. We can’t say much more, but for now keep your eyes on Outspark.com for the latest news.

Get ready for some cool stuff!

One of the coolest features of our games are the in-game events. Never heard of them or participated in one? You’re missing a lot of fun. Each day, Game Masters like Dakkon (Fiesta) and Rider (Secret of the Solstice) hold events such as guild wars, scavenger hunts and trivia contests. Besides being fun, events are great way to chat with Outspark staff and meet other players.

If you haven’t already, be sure to check out our In-Game Event Calendar.

The Calendar is the best place to find out the latest information about the coolest events going on in Outspark games each day. Just last week we highlighted a few of them: the Dakkon Birthday Bash in Fiesta and Easter Celebration in Secret of the Solstice. We even have special events in Bread ‘n Butter.

The Calendar also includes information about item sales and other cool stuff. Make sure to check it regularly for the latest exciting information!
