These things answer the question "what would happen if a Critter and a Raving Rabbid got it on?"

I'm thinking Fluffers.  Your boss, he's a genius.  Just remember to say, in interviews, "What?  Why is everyone giggling?"

Thanks for all the feedback. Think we might have finally settled on something. Unless something comes up in the next day anyhow. I'll let you know when.

My first thought was something like Fuzzlepuffs, but thats too long.

Foozles on the other hand is brilliant. Anyone have any idea who first coined it?

Let us know what you decided. Do we get a free copy of whatever they are in if we helped make the name?

Do the things make some specific noise in-game?  You could name them by sound, like "squeegees."

And Foozles wins it. We went through some variations of it. Fuzzles, Fuzles, Fuzels. In the end just plain ol' Foozle got it.

For awhile we almost ditched a name altogether, as we were having a hard time deciding on anything at all. Kept throw different things around and no one could really agree on any one thing. Foozles won it due to the dust bunny and gaming references that go with the name. That and Puzzles and Foozles are close together, and it is a physics puzzle game afterall.

And yeah, I'm going to try and get some free codes for you guys here. This thread really helped us alot, esspecially concidering we ended up using a name directly from here. Also helped in general just in brainstorming while we were still trying to come up with a name on our own.

So we have released a gameplay trailer for Foozles.

Foozles Release Trailer

Game has been submitted to Apple, and we are just awaiting approval now. Should be a week or two.

Please tell me we'll be able to whack the foozles in your game.

Also, being someone who in the past has donated to this site, I'm pretty sure you owe me royalties now.  I would like my 1 million dollars in large, slightly marked bills.

Just curious, did you pick that particular art direction to purposely distance yourself from cartoony games like Angry Birds?

Is Foozles the name of your game, or just the critters?

I am not a lawyer, but I'm not sure you'd be able to claim any kind of trademark on that.

Apple moves fast. Got approved this morning.

You can kinda of whack them, there are platforms you can bounce them up on then hit them with like a baseball bat.
Name of the game and the critters is Foozles, not sure what issues we will run into with trademarking, but guess we shall see. Regardless, the critters are Foozles now  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

We kind of picked the art direction purposefully to distance ourselves from the cartoony games. We've been told multiple times by people in the industry that we should go with an art direction like Angry Birds. Be Angry Birds, you should totally Angry Birds Angry Birds birds birds... We aren't Angry Birds.
Wasn't entirely for that reason however. We wanted a metallic and strange world for these guys to travel through that felt alien and mysterious. Think we pulled that off. Yeah it's ait of a dark world. But that was kind of the point. You will be killing lots and lots of Foozles trying to get past each level. We will even tell you how many died per level.

And that's pretty awesome to hear schild. Thanks.
