A chaotic jungle journey with big, bad foes and insane riches.
Welcome to the jungle, where Shoot Happens! Face your opponent, take aim, and fire your way to riches.
ELA Games unveils its boldest title to date, a combination of decision-making and narrative progression where every shot counts.
In Shoot Happens, you’re not just a player. You’re the main character who has to fend off waves of increasingly dangerous (and valuable) monsters.

Expect the Unexpected
Random projectile bonuses can appear in any round, boosting your rewards massively. And just when you thought your journey through the treacherous jungle was over, the final boss appears. While the other monsters may have been a piece of cake, he doesn’t stay down. Each time you defeat him, he respawns for juicier and recurring payouts. Keep going as long as you can handle it, and you might walk out as the top dog of the jungle.
Marharyta Yerina, ELA Games’ Managing Director, commented on the game’s release, “With Shoot Happens, the team ventured outside of conventional game formats, and we wanted to give players a super engaging experience where they’re in control. This title is a bold approach to game design in this industry, as we’re empowering players with choice and enriching the gameplay experience with strong visuals, narratives, and plenty of replayability.”

Staying true to its international character, HIPTHER breaks free from geographical and logistical limitations by becoming an e-resident company of Estonia and embracing a fully remote work model built on trust, flexibility, and technology.
Estonian E-Residency: A Logical Step Forward for HIPTHER
With a strong focus on innovation, digitalisation, and entrepreneurship, Estonia has long been at the forefront of e-governance. For HIPTHER, a company operating across borders with a digital-first mindset, joining the Estonian e-Residency programme was not just a strategic move – it was the natural next step.
The e-Residency allows HIPTHER to maintain a fully online EU-based company, benefiting from Estonia’s transparent business environment, streamlined administration, and modern legal framework. It enables the team to manage operations more efficiently, with secure access to digital services and the freedom to work from anywhere in the world.
Estonia’s global-first approach mirrors HIPTHER’s own values: agility, decentralisation, and forward-thinking, making this alignment more than practical; it’s philosophical. With its new base in the digital nation, HIPTHER further amplifies its mission to connect industries, foster innovation, and redefine how modern companies operate and grow.
Remote Work Model: Trust, Flexibility, Collaboration in a Tech-forward Era

Following technological advancements and staying true to its human-centric values of wellness, balance, trust, and originality, HIPTHER takes a bold leap toward remote work – where others can’t or won’t.
From managing international summits and awards to running online media and virtual panels, HIPTHER has long relied on digital infrastructure, and now turns this into a permanent advantage.
Zoltan Tuendik, HIPTHER’s Co-Founder & Head of Business, shared his thoughts behind this big next step for the company: “We believe in building a future where innovation, flexibility, and human-centric values guide everything we do. For several years now, our team has been working across borders, embracing remote collaboration and digital-first operations. With this step we’re solidifying and elevating a way of working that’s already part of our DNA. Becoming an e-resident company empowers us to bring lasting change and sets the stage for our next chapter of global impact.”

Midnite launches in-stadium £1,000 giveaway for Sheffield United and Southampton fans at every home league game

Brace Yourself campaign gives supporters chance to win at every home league match
-
Cash prize awarded every time a home player scores two goals

Midnite will match winning prize pot with charitable donation
Fast-growing UK sportsbook Midnite will give Sheffield United and Southampton fans the chance to net £1,000 at every home league match throughout the new season.
Midnite is the front-of-shirt sponsor for Sheffield United and the back-of-shirt sponsor for Southampton and is launching the Brace Yourself campaign for supporters of both clubs.
It means every time a home player scores twice – a brace – one lucky member of the matchday crowd will grab a grand or possibly more – if no brace is scored, the prize pool will roll over to the next home match.
Midnite will also match the prize pool with a donation to charity close to each club.
Fans at Bramall Lane and St Mary’s can enter by scanning QR codes placed around the stadiums and in the matchday programmes and a seat number will be drawn at random before kick-off.
Brace Yourself kicks off on Saturday (August 9) when Southampton host Wrexham and Sheffield United entertain Bristol City.
Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said: “We want fans to be on the edge of their seats throughout the season.
“When a home player scores a brace in the EFL Championship this season, Midnite will reward one lucky fan with a cash prize giveaway. Starting off at £1,000 and rolling over each week if there isn’t a winner, the excitement should build throughout the campaign.
“Midnite will also match the fan prize and donate the same amount to a local charity, in a bid to repay some of the amazing work that they do within the local community.”
Midnite’s Brace Yourself campaign is open to fans aged 18 and older.
