06-02-12: Woolly Robot has announced the release Flight of the Fireflies for iPad.

"I want to create games that are more about having an experience than about being challenged. Flight of the Fireflies is an experiment to see how much you can take the game out of a game, but still have an immersive experience," says the game's designer Jonathan Hise Kaldma. "One of the inspirations for the game was an exhibition by photographer Gregory Crewdson. I always felt like games could use photography more, so I went out with a camera around Stockholm to try to capture the feelings that I wanted to convey in the game."

"I call it a game, since it comes from that tradition. But I know some people wont think it's a game since you can't really win or lose," he continued. "I don't really care if people call it 'interactive art' or something else instead. As long as they don't think it's inaccessible or hard to understand, because it's not. Anyone with an open mind can enjoy it."

The game is available now in the App Store.
