About Crafty Arcade
A father-daughter studio which specializes in creative stop-motion games was founded in 2012. Two years and several thousand frames shot later, we are releasing our first game: iPollute.
The locations in the game are placed in a crafted physical set while the heroes of our story sculpted in clay and other materials.
In this game, the polluting factors and their environmental effects are the heroes. We searched in old dumps for real world solutions. And so we packed all these into a unique and challenging riddle-game.
The first presentation of the game in GDC 2014 won a BEST-IN-PLAY honourable mention. Hundreds of visitors enjoyed playing our game in the show and overwhelmed us with their excitement.
