Superfugu is a gesture-controlled 3rd person action adventure game for kids

The game includes a sweet, non-verbal short story presented across 5 pre-rendered cutscenes by acclaimed animation director Andy Jones

Upon release, Superfugu shot to #3 on the iPad game charts as a free title and was later ported to iPhone as a premium game.

Everything in Superfugu is modeled after real world ocean habitats and creatures. We worked with world-renowned marine biologist Sylvia Earle to ensure sea creatures and environments were true-to-life and include educational info in the game.

One of our design goals was to create an intuitive gesture-based control system that was built from the ground up for the new iPad platform.

Superfugu was packed with features including contextual character reactions for Fugu, a shareable photo mode, and a lot of hidden secrets
