Gibbon: Beyond the Trees, or just Gibbon for short, is a hand-drawn adventure following a lost gibbon as they embark on a dangerous journey into unknown lands. It tells a story of family and survival as you search for a home that may be lost forever.
ALT A interpretation of the traditional longhouses often seen in rural Borneo. Lush jungle canopies in the background against a setting sun. A gang of gibbons, long-nose monkeys, langurs, parrots and a hornbill roam about the longhouse.

So, as we are nearing launch of Gibbon: Beyond the Trees, we thought it might be interesting to talk a little bit about the background of how the game came to be. Make yourself cozy, it’s story time!
Gibbons are amazing animals and their plight, as that of many other wildlife animals, is real and incredibly tragic. With this game we hope to raise awareness about these issues. For more information, please visit gibbongame.com/

ELOH is an Apple Design Award Winner 2019 because of its amazing team: @jcstranger, @LipComarella, @scntfc, @v01pe_, @mcloister, Daniela Comarella and Simon Griesser. Keep creating astounding work!
We managed to persuade @Ungapants of Snipperclips and Tangle Tower fame to work with us on the art direction of the game. We don’t want to toot our own horn (yes we do), but please look at these group of singing frogs. Expect greatness!
Wow, Old Man’s Journey is nominated as a standout indie game for the #GooglePlay awards. We’re proud to be part of such an astonishing selection!

From a playing perspective, the game is about smooth, free form movement that is modeled after brachiation, the unique form of locomotion that gibbons employ to move through the canopies.
Creating a lush & vivid jungle was one of the first visual goals for Gibbon: Beyond the Trees. Here are some early sketches & concept art by art director @Ungapants.
