Ontario-based developer, Big Blue Bubble Inc (Garters & Ghouls) just announced that they will be releasing Thumpies, an all-new rhythm-based matching game, in early February. The trailer video (included below) was a little cryptic, but it looks like you must bounce these odd-looking furry ball creatures around and collect butterflies. The game looks to have some nice, dark visuals and some catchy music. Big Blue Bubble claims that the game is suitable for all ages, but the Where The Wild Things Are-like creatures look like they could be a bit too scary for younger players. I guess we’ll find out more in a few weeks when the game is released.
Here is the offical word from Big Blue Bubble Inc
London, Ontario (January 13, 2010) – Big Blue Bubble Inc. announced today that Thumpies, an original beat matching game, will be release on iPhone in early February.
