What happens when 60 years of animation experience comes together to make a game for handheld consoles and mobile? Naturally, you get an indie development studio called Steel Wool Games which features talents from Disney Pixar movies like Brave, Toy Story, and countless others. And their first game, which is going to be due out in Summer 2014, is Flyhunter Origins.
Flyhunter Origins features a bumbling protagonist called Zak, who works as a janitor on a Flyhunter ship called the “The Frog”. While Zak has only ever dreamed of being a Flyhunter like the ones he works for, as destiny would have it, the dangerous creatures stored on the “The Frog” escape onto Earth and is Zak’s job to become a Flyhunter and make everything right. For a better idea of how the game is going to play, check out the trailer from Steel Wool Games:
