Kooky for iPad by Amanita Design released
August 30th, 2012
Kooky for iPad is out now and I had a great chance to work on the app with a friend. The app is composed of the book, movie, making of the movie, drawings/sketches and there is also a little game, where you have to find all the forest creatures hidden in the woods.
Amanita Design is well known for their games like Machinarium or Samorost, but Kooky is a movie. It’s been created by the director Jan Svěrák and illustrated by Jakub Dvorský from Amanita Design and you can feel his unique signature along the whole movie.
Kooky is a story of a puppet, who finds one day his way into the woods. He meets with other forest creatures and experience lot of stories.
Watch the trailer:
The app is currently promoted by Apple in the US App Store Entertainment section.
The app also features full retina display support and it’s written with Adobe PhoneGap and a bit of custom Obj-C. I will be covering all the technical details in the article later on.
Enjoy!
