Short Summary
We are FORFICTIONmobile, a small indie app developer team of three guys from Hungary who loves making mobile games - as hobby.
We sat together in 2012 and started making apps for Nokia platforms back then. We have started with simple ones - Nightlamp rulez! :D - and as our experience raised we went for more...
Our apps were received well, millions of users downloaded and used them but Nokia has collapsed, our personal life has given us other challenges, so app development went on pause.
Couple of weeks ago we sat together again and decided we should have given it a try again and let's see how we can grow up to challenges of modern era.
Not to mention we are planning to test the water with idea when crowdsourcing makes a multi-platform game Open Source. Something what id Software did with Doom but from the beginning...
Long story short, we have decided porting our best game, Gooble Invasion, to modern platforms and here comes YOU who will finally judge how good the idea is...
What We Need & What You Get
Hobbyist or not we still need some funding for this project. We do not want to be hypocrite - it takes time, we have to invest into tools and equipments for development and testing and, telling the truth, we would like to see some revenue at the end...

Size and color may vary according to your needs.
For more, see Gallery.
Primary target platform of the port is Android but we would like to make it available for more. It depends on how well dedicated sub-targets and perks are received by our backers: if all dedicated perks are backed for certain platform, porting will happen - otherwise there is no any guarantee...
Risks & Challenges
We are fully aware of your concerns about what if the campaign fails. We cannot ensure you it will not happen.
But we DO promise you we will try to do our best avoiding it.
