iOS/watchOS App: Cthulhu vs. Your Mom Gold

January 14, 2016 By Roger

The day the watchOS 2 version of Cthulhu vs. Your Mom Gold was released, Apple chose to feature it in the “Great Apps and Games for watchOS 2” section of the Apple Watch App Store. As of this writing, it is still being featured.

Cthulhu vs. Your Mom Gold was the realization of our goal to deliver a great gaming experience for the Apple watchOS platform. This was also the first app of ours to be localized into multiple languages (Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, UK English, US English).

This was also our first game to support Game Center achievements.

I’ve found the title and tag line of the game to be incredibly memorable. It always gets a laugh when I tell people the title, and surprisingly the humor translates to other languages. Also memorable is the promotional video I created that uses the amazing vocal talents of Ken Scott:
