[WIP] TanooJump iOS and Android

TanooJump
Arcade game​

Introduction
We started the project when the new Apple TV was announced by Apple. The game has been released at the same time as the launch of the new Apple TV in October.
If you have the new Apple TV, maybe you've already seen it

Story
You will play as Tanoo and our first advice is to not see your enemies as the fluffy animals they are, which would be a dreadful mistake because those Pandas are actually “evil”. They long to steal the Tanuki parchment containing all of their most hidden secrets.

Working on
We’re currently working on a mission system to find new ways to enjoy Tanoo Jump, and a brand new wardrobe to customize Tanoo.

Graphics
Straight from our designer’s den!

Media
We’ve done a little trailer to announce it

Feel free to throw us any comments or ask any questions.

A live drawing for the quarterback skin of Tanoo. Made for the next iOS and Android version of TanooJump!

 

The creation process of the "Red" Rocket Panda

 

Hey. It's Tanuki. Nice 2D art skill. I always like to see this kind of simple (Art style / Game-play) and addicted games. I like the music. Keep it up. Look forward on your progress.

 

We're considering adding some atmospheric effects. Here our first test for the rain:

 

Others sketches of skins:




...and Tanoooo:

 

This looks really good! Lovely art work and animations, it really adds a lot of polish to the game. The gameplay looks solid as well, I would have to agree @AkiraWong89 the simplicity of the gameplay looks fun!

To comment on the recent posts, I think that those atmospheric effects really add a LOT to the game. Even in the same area, the weather effects make it feel fresh. Are you guys messing around with adding in other effects like fog or even snow? Maybe add in a day, sunset, and night time version of the area which will help change it up a lot.

Sadly I don't have an AppleTV, iOS, or Android device to enjoy this, but I wish you luck in finding success there! Maybe you can port it over to Windows 10 in the future? (I gotta keep trying to get more games on that platform!)

 

Thanks Darkays! We're working on other atmospheric effects and for Windows 10, why not!

 

Watch our new trailer Star Wars-inspired (ok … ripped off)

 

Some animations of the Rocket Pandas.



Menu implementation are in progress too:

There is some progress and it's nice

 

Love the character design!

 

Thanks Wiremuch

 

Some skins colorized.

Any skin suggestion for Tanoo ? We’re ready to draw it ( well… our designer is)

 

A Viking helmet, backwards baseball cap, and a ninja mask.
Those are the first things that came in my head.

 

Which skin would you like for Tanoo? Vote & our designer will be pleased to draw it!

Vote on Twitter between the Jason Mask or the Ninja Mask:

Out of pure curiosity if you don't mind me asking what was process for creating the lightning effect. It just looks so amazing. Everything about the atmosphere looks great. Keep up the good works, your projects looks like it will go a long way.

 

Straight from our designer's mouth : "For the lightning effect I worked in two times. First animating a white screen on a few frames, by blinking a fully white image on the foreground (just a white pixel stretched as much as possible). And then in the background I make the bolt image appear on a few frames, only to disappear by playing with the transparency after that. "

Also, we'll try to maintain a Friday stream on Twitch, with some drawing and design first, maybe some development later, so tune in at 4PM CET on http://www.twitch.tv/polarbeardgames to check our designer live drawing of Tanoo's next skin !

hey guys i just started watching this thread.
AND i'm now following you on twitter and facebook because your artwork is so awesome. i'm already a fan.
having said that i think the gameplay is a little dull.
maybe it's the animations.. main character doesn't look very smooth.
i feel like the game isn't as interesting as the artwork themselves.

but pls keep up the good work and i'd like to continue to watch the updates!

 

Hi! Thank you very much this feedback hitmanchoi, from a bear to an other ;p

We are indeed really happy with the artwork! For the gameplay, I see what you mean, that's why we implement some special bonuses and the round system, I hope you will be a little bit more convinced by the beta version! I am looking forward to have your feedback on it


Here is a speedpainting made with last Friday stream!
Tanoo Fisher! As a tribute for a very famous game
