Cloudcade adds player-vs-player mode to fantasy RPG Shop Heroes

Cloudcade managed to get 1.5 million players for its Shop Heroes game last fall. Now it is launching its biggest update yet with the addition of player-versus-player mode and support for play on the Apple Watch.

It isn’t your usual PvP experience, as the competition here is to create the best shop that you can. If you can make a better store and perform more tasks than your rivals, you win. I know. Sounds like a modern TV reality show.
