‘Steppy Pants’ is the Latest Verby Noun, from the Artist and Programmer of ‘Fruit Ninja’

Australia has been responsible for two of the big crazes in mobile gaming: Fruit Ninja (Free) and Crossy Road (Free) both came from the home of kangaroos. Now, one game is combining the two in an oblique way. The artist and programmer of Fruit Ninja are making a game with voxel art and and a Verby Noun name, with Steppy Pants. It’s looking a bit different from those games and maybe a bit QWOP-like ($0.99) as you try to get a silly-walking person to walk down the sidewalk. Looks goofy and fun:

Much like the Bee Gees, you can tell by the way your hero uses their walk that they’ve got no time to talk. I mean, when you have to focus on not stepping on cracks in the sidewalk, conversation is sub-optimal. But unlike the Bee Gees, you don’t just have to be a woman’s man – there’s all sorts of customizations, with custom heads, shirts, and pants! Custom pants! What a time to be alive! You can wear the pants and enjoy some silly walks for yourself starting on June 1st.

    This is probably the first week in months that I've gotten back into checking on mobile game releases. It feels as though everything I've been waiting to see either still hasn't released or else got their Canadian soft launches long ago but never advanced beyond that stage :/

    I've said this before, but it seems like there aren't any Crashlands-tier games coming up anymore :/ It's kind of ironic that when phones were N64/PS2-level graphics, we had a ton of creative and exciting games, and now that we have near console quality phones, there's really a lack of unique titles.

    Do you guys think this'll change in the future?

        There are a lot off developers out there that hope on Candy Crush hit so I think we see a lot off simple graphics/gameplay games on the ApSt my latest buy Titan Quest is a type off game that is rare in the ApSt but it shows that the latest phone's can handle them with ease I hope for more off that type off games in the ApSt.

    I personally didn't like crashlands , but bought it to support premium. I thought I might like it but it just wasn't my thing... So I deleted it. Id LOVE xcom 2 on iOS!!
