Hipster Whale, who are based in Australia, are also responsible for some excellent recent games including Pac-Man 256 and Shooty Skies, both of which are inspired by the classic era of gaming. Crossy Road, if you’re unfamiliar, is a Frogger-inspired road-crossing simulator straddling both the casual and hardcore demographics.
