What happens when passionate geniuses have their own funding? From two of the Club Penguin founders, Lance Priebe and Pascale Audette, comes a new tactical strategy game featuring "a rich storyline and beautiful animation." Their new studio, called Hyper Hippo (www.hyperhippo.ca) has teamed up with Oktobor Animation to create this browser-based world. Like Club Penguin, it will run on old fashioned computers (Macs and PCs), but iOS and Android versions are coming "later this year." So what is it? A "tactical strategy" game featuring mice that explores the themes of teamwork, courage and sacrifice, in a format that is easy to play but difficult to master. The first level is free, later levels will be released as episodic chapters. To play, assemble a squad of meched out mice, and lead them into turn-based battles against cybug armies. As you play, you collect digital, playable action figures. More information is at www.mechmice.com; the trailer video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85qgSYOsGLQ
