#TBT: The first build of Agent Dash (iOS, 2012)
It’s Throwback Thursday!
With a MASSIVE new update coming soon, we look back at the original Agent Dash.
Agent Dash in early 2012, before the original release
The original Agent Dash broke new ground in the endless running genre, receiving fantastic praise from the press and from mobile gamers. Released in summer 2012, it was one of the first, if not the first running game to use touch & swipe controls rather than tilt.
For 2015, we’ve decided to give Agent Dash some upgrades back at base so that he can do battle with the nefarious Dr. Quantumfinger all over again! A new update for the game is coming very soon and we’re really proud of all the hard work that the team has put into it. It uses a brand new game engine, which provides us with much more flexibility in the development process and should result in more frequent and more exciting content updates in future for the game’s 20 million players.
There’s plenty of new content to enjoy in this update, but you’ll have to wait just a little bit longer to find out what it all is. We think you’ll enjoy the surprises that we have in store!
Keep an eye out on PocketGamer.biz for an awesome behind-the-scenes look at the game’s development, coming in the next few weeks. It includes interviews with our Creative Director and the Lead Designer of the new Agent Dash.
Get Agent Dash for free on App Store or Google Play as the HUGE update isn’t far away!

#TBT: Tom and Jerry: Mouse Hunt (GBC, 2000)
It’s Throwback Thursday! Check out one of our first games for Nintendo’s Game Boy Color!
If you’d like to play one of our more recent adventure games, try Agent Dash for free!
Tom and Jerry: Mouse Hunt was one of Full Fat’s earliest projects, and the first in which we coded the entire game ourselves. The company started several years earlier as a graphics & art production house, but quickly grew to create entire games, starting with Tom & Jerry.
It’s a fast paced action/puzzle game in which the two beloved characters compete to capture mice as Tom, or rescue them as Jerry. It’s surprisingly reminiscent of the Dreamcast classic, ChuChuRocket, but with more free-form gameplay rather than the grid-based movement system used in that game.
Check out a video of the first level below and soak in all of the nostalgic Game Boy Color sounds!

#TBT: Pac-Man World 2 (GBA, 2002)
It’s Throwback Thursday! Check out a classic for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.

No mazes, but Pac-Man still chased Ghosts & grabbed Power Pellets
Full Fat started out in the late nineties, working on raft of big gaming franchises, especially on Nintendo consoles. Pac-Man World 2 was released by Namco in 2002 on all of the major games platforms available at the time. We created the Game Boy Advance version.
Check out this TV spot for the game, which uses PlayStation 2 footage.
The project’s big challenge was to match the 3D platforming of the PS2, Xbox & GameCube versions of the game within the much more limited GBA hardware. A compromise was made to create a 2.5 platformer, in which Pac-Man moves through the level from left-to-right, but he can also step up and down the screen, into the foreground & background.
Pac-Man is an iconic character, and the Saturday morning cartoon style looked fantastic on the GBA’s small screen. Inspired by the original arcade game, we gave this new adventure a bright & colourful personality. Pac-Man is loved throughout the world and it was a pleasure for our studio to work on several games in the series.
