Big Blue (the Smartie!) is Back!

Big Blue hit the streets today as Smarties Meltdown was launched in the UK.

The title, developed for Koch Media, is a kid-friendly adventure title focussing on the battle between Big Blue (our hero!) and the tasteless Dr Soursweet and his ghastly Stroopers.

The EM design team visited the real Smarties factory in Hamburg (thanks for all the chocolate guys!) for inspiration to create the Space Station Factory where all the action takes place. We think the effort (and the extra cm on the waistline) was well worth the sacrifice!
