But Icebreaker looked pretty unique in that it had you manipulating and slicing apart different parts of the environment in order to get your little viking dude to its goal.
While I’m not super surprised to see Rovio moving into publishing, the most exciting part about this news is that the first two Rovio Stars games are both ones we’ve previewed in the past, were pretty excited for, and then haven’t heard much about since.įirst up is Nitrome‘s Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage, a clever-looking physics puzzler we first spotted last December. It makes total sense, and with the kind of money and established fan base that Rovio has they can provide an opportunity for good games to stand out that might otherwise get buried in the App Store. Today the company announced a new publishing initiative, called Rovio Stars, which will see Rovio publishing 3rd party titles that they think have the potential to be the next Angry Birds without having to actually dump the time and resources into making their own 1st party games. Rovio has made a killing selling Angry Birds games and pretty much any type of branded merchandise you can imagine, but they haven’t done so hot with games that don’t feature angry birds or little green pigs.
