​

It is a 2.5D platformer game developed using Unity3D 4 for iOS and Android.

This adorable game, set in the middle of a picturesque garden, has the player helping Shiny, the cute little firefly, to find his babies. The player will have to fly, run, hide and defend itself against a legion of enemies. Stubborn mosquitoes, hungry toads, mischievous plants, sneaky wasps, endlessly long centipedes and lots of other little, dangerous garden dwellers are going to get in your way and make your life difficult.

The player’s reflexes will be tested, as well as it wit and intellect as it navigate through this beautiful, colorful world helping Shiny in his search. All kinds of different animations let the player know how Shiny’s feeling. So the player will always know if Shiny feeling happy, concerned, tired or angry. That will help the player to solve the trickiest situations in the game. The player has to use it ability to shine skillfully: the babies can only follow Shiny when he is lit up, but that also makes him visible to his enemies…

This looks fantastic!

 

Thank you GeneBox!

 

Just got my new ipad mini and I'm downloading this right now.

I agree the graphics look great and I'm looking forward to playing later.

How long did this project take you to make and what sort of team size have you got?

 

Hope you like it!

One year. We founded the company (and started developing Shiny) in April 2012. Mainly 3 persons (2 artist and 1 programmer) plus an intern programmer since November. We outsourced the music and sounds to Eudardo de la Iglesia (http://www.eduardodelaiglesia.com).

 

Have you played the third world? We are recording some videos playing ourselves.

On this video you can watch the third world with new assets, storm, etc...

 

Also now avaliable on Amazon Appstore!!!

Is this the pro version or free version of unity 4 for IOS and Android?

 

How can I get big wasp to Green garden - level 11? Please help me.)))

 

Pro version

You have to wait until she hits the ground. Once she starts hitting the ground some big stones falls. In one of these stones a small stone appears. Get and launch it to his tail (the small stone blocks the tail and impregnates it). Get again the small stone (check that now it is impregnated) and launch it to this head. Do this three times and you will defeat the wasp queen!

 

Excellent game guys! Thanks for the wall papers as well , whenever I see art work that grabs me I like to store them for artistic inspiration.

Before I get the game can I ask if it uses tilt controls or just touch gestures?

Thanks

 

How the hell do you managed to make such awesome graphics?


When i design my object in unity3d, it only giving a cube a new color!

 

Thank you shaderbytes!! Just touch gestures: tap, double-tap and drag and drop are the controls

Thank you MG!! Each level has it own lighting wiht more or less lights, different colors, textures, etc..

 

Shiny The Firefly is celebrating its very succesful launch! To celebrate this wide roll-out, we have decided to temporarily reduce the price to 0,99 USD on all storefronts.

We would be grateful if you could help us spread the news on this special price promotion.

Super extra awesome! This work is inspiring sir.

 

Thank you a lot!

 

MOGA Controllers (Pocket and Pro) are NOW SUPPORTED on Shiny The Firefly for Android! Just update your game to last version!.

MOGA are REALLY NICE controllers (http://www.mogaanywhere.com/)

 

Shiny. Firefly. I see what you did there

 

Beautiful!

 

Downloaded the free version as i have no money at the moment, as soon as i do have money, ill purchase it.

The controls seem a bit tedious, having to tap everywhere, couldn't you implement a scheme where there is virtual controls on the screen?
Overall i loved the game, the art is amazing!

 

I have to disagree. I like the current controls. I think virtual controls on screen are the worst; they take up screen space and then their accuracy is just bad.

 

Thanks goat!

Yes. As accuracy is important on Shiny we chose this instead of virtual controls. Also playing on tablets is easier. If you have Android take a look to MOGA controllers, you will play Shiny like in a console.

 

Have sent you a pm in regards to reviewing this game on Touch Arcade, so check your inbox Loving it, too!

 

Ups! Just checked. I'm writing you a mail right now! Thanks!

TouchArcade review by Karl! The review is sooooooo great!

http://toucharcade.com/2013/06/08/shiny-the-firefly-review/

- "I can honestly say this is the most emotionally linked I have been to a character in a videogame in a very long time"

- "I have honestly been looking for something bad to say about this game but I can't find a single thing."

- "Shiny The Firefly has it all – slick controls, puzzles, epic boss battles… but most of all, it has my heart. Awwww."

 

I honestly use the word honestly too often. Honestly. Hahaha.

 

We need help with Galaxy S4... Please, can somebody help us??? THANKS!
