    Interview: Talking Spy Mouse with Firemint’s Rob Murray

    By

    Firemint is a company that knows how to make a hit. Flight Control invented a genre. Real Racing re-invented one to prove it could work on a mobile device. And now Spy Mouse? Spy Mouse re-invents the genre they invented with Flight Control. And it's a formula that works - Spy Mouse has been the #1 paid game on the App Store since its release 23 days ago. We recently had a chance to ask Firemint's CEO Rob Murray about their stealthy mouse success. Here's what he had to say;

    Teams of developers get together in all sorts of ways. So do couples. But what happens when the two worlds collide? If you're names are Brian and Anna, Fenix Fire is what happens. This new development studio, consisting entirely of two industry vets who are deeply in love, are preparing to unleash their first collaborative effort on the world. Their baby if you will.

    Hothead Games seem to be on something of a hot streak lately. In only two months, the developer has released three critically acclaimed games to the App Store. Cell Bound, Chromanoids, and Bunny the Zombie Slayer have all managed to earn positive words from our review crew here at Gamezebo. Now they're looking to add a fourth title into the mix with Kard Combat, a game about battling mages with online play and a freemium twist. We recently spoke with the game's producer Hamish Millar about this upcoming title.
