Sunbreak Games Announces Buddy & Me Kickstarter
April 1st, in the year of our Lord 2013 -- Kirkland, WA
– Indie developer Sunbreak Games announces its first project,
“Buddy & Me”, a lighthearted adventure with a friendly twist,
for mobile/tablet devices. Led by veteran game designer Jason
Behr, the Buddy & Me team hopes to break new ground in the
“endless runner” genre, with an approachable, charming story of
exploration and friendship for players of all ages.
Never Run Alone Again
In the beautiful world of Buddy & Me, run through the enchanted
forest of a young boy’s dreams, alongside his best friend, a
magical creature named Buddy. Buddy & Me combines the
high-quality painted backgrounds and cel-shaded characters of an
animated film, with the unique gameplay experience of a giant
flying companion’s loyal assistance when in need. Run, jump,
bounce, glide, and fly together through an infinite treehouse
filled with interactive obstacles, curious creatures, and
breathtaking natural landmarks inspired by the Pacific
Northwest.
Fan-Supported Funding with Kickstarter
Sunbreak seeks fan-supported fundraising via popular
crowdsourcing service Kickstarter to complete Buddy & Me’s
development, with estimated delivery in Summer 2013. More
