To Sum Things Up And Avoid Confusion

To avoid confusion and sum things up, here is what happened:
In 2013, Luis and Max, the coders and founders of Boombang, created Tiny Thief under their new company 5 Ants. Then in 2014, Boombang Games, SL merged with 5 Ants Games, SL. On June 7, 2014, Boombang was shut down. On June 30, 2014, all of the Boombang team resigned from 5 Ants except for Luis and Max. On July 29, 2014, a week after they released their last game, 5 Ants stopped devopment. Soon after, 5 Ants former members created Alike Studio and Pati.io. They are currently working on a game called "Love You To Bits." As of now, the Boombang.tv domain was last updated in October of 2014 when there was some downtime. It is registered to Wild West Domains, a widely known reseller website. This leads us to believe Boombang.tv was in fact sold after the hiatus of 5 Ants Games, SL, formerly known as Boombang Games, SL. The website is currently a continuous loop of Boombang maintenance pages. There is no game, just some webpages with some familiar Javascript from the original game. For now, the only thing we can hope is that Luis and Max are working on Boombang, and that they have not sold the website. You can still see that 5 Ants is not planning on development of Tiny Thief soon from their Twitter (@5ants), so hopefully they are working on Boombang. But there is only hope.
