Pangolin’s Puzzle Releases
BARTLESVILLE, November 8, in the year of our Lord 2018 – Hero Factor Games has released Pangolin’s Puzzle for mobile devices. Experience the world through the eyes of one adorably peculiar pangolin in this unique, isometric logic puzzle game.
Also known as scaly anteaters, pangolins are the world’s only scale-covered mammals. Their keratin scales are so tough, even lions can’t bite through them. When threatened, pangolins roll tightly into an armored ball. Unfortunately, this defense mechanism makes them easy to capture for trade on the Asian black market. Intense demand for pangolin scales and meat, coupled with their slow reproduction rate has placed all eight species under threat of extinction.
Pangolin's Puzzle tells the story of a timid young pangolin, who embarks on an unexpected adventure with only one weapon: a powerful, problem-solving imagination. Players will utilize critical-thinking and reasoning skills to solve challenging logic puzzles, which are carefully integrated into the game’s story. The immersive experience is enhanced by an evocative soundtrack and painterly artwork of the colorful African landscapes and imaginary realms where the game takes place. In-game progress unlocks additional story which unveils the truth about this little-known endangered animal.
Pangolin's Puzzle is a family-friendly game that unveils a biblical worldview of purpose and stewardship of God’s creation. Over the course of the game’s story, the protagonist learns to pursue God's will and derive strength and courage from Christ. Through interaction with other characters with God-centered motives, the protagonist is guided and encouraged to do what is morally right and make sure her actions cause a positive impact on the world around her.
Pangolin’s Puzzle aims to create an emotional connection to the plight of the pangolin through its heart-warming story. “Katiti”, the game’s pangolin protagonist, is named after a real baby pangolin whose rescue and rehabilitation was popularized on social media. The game offers curious players more information about pangolins, the challenges involved in their conservation, and links to organizations working to save the animals. Hero Factor Games donates 50% of profits from in-app purchases to support these organizations.
