EnglishBefore we talk about this game, we must talk about the company behind it first.
“Sulistas Games” is a startup company run by two people, held on São Paulo, Brazil. One of them is an active member of the furry fandom. Bringing their background expertise in games, which includes Ubisoft, they are thriving to raise their startup company, and they have just released their first game: Jules Unboxing the World.
Released yesterday (Aug 12, 2010) on iTunes Store, the game is about Jules, a charismatic red-blue creature with long ears and tail, who one morning discovered that all people in the world were boxed! And now is up to him to release them, rolling and opening all boxes. But be careful! Some enemies will try to catch you, and of course, box you.
Fauna Urbana had access to the Beta version, kindly provided by Ikiepu (the furry behind it). As we tested, we fell in love with the gameplay and art.
With gorgeous handmade graphics, excellent music and making use of the iPad’s accelerometer, this game gave us a lot of entertainment and it was an excellent way spend time. As you see on the video bellow, we tested during a subway trip; some passengers got curious, of course.
This game is made for iPad, and you can play 30 levels + 3 endless challenges just for $4.99. Buying the game will not give you just fun, but will support this new startup and show to the world what our fandom has at it best!
Congratulations Sulistas Games, and we already bought our copy! :)

mano, GIRA DIREITO ISSO *agoniado com suas inclinações mal feitas pra unboxear as pessoas*.
O jogo parece bem interessante, mas não faz taaanto o meu tipo. Interessante mesmo foi ver que alguem brasileiro criou isso (pelo que eu entendi, Sulistas é alguma empresa brasileira, certo?)
awesome :P
I’m gonna buy the iPad just for play it XD
Man! I really loved that! Congrats to Ikiepu and Sulistas games! Does it work just on iPad? iPhone version is available?
hugs from the firewolf
Actually, the game is just for #iPad, well, at least iPad is very popular on North America and Europe
Well, I loved the game, it’s simple, fun, furry and very surprised that I went to Ipad I liked and they did a great job.
E aqui temos mais um motivo para se comprar um IPAD.
O jogo parece bem carismatico. E eu quero um plushie do Jules!!
Eu joguei o beta 8D
MOOORAM DE INVEJA! >D >XDD
@ikiepu ficou muito bom e o trabalho ficou excepcional, parabéns! =D
Really interesting the game I liked, I saw just one problem, Why this was written in english while most of us don’t understand english?
this is some kind of marketing strategy performed by Tanuky in order to “spread” the game around the world. LOL!
This section feed some furry news websites :), and, the target audience of this game are iPads owners :)
Uhm… Nice game, cute and all, but… Not new. At all. It’s so like Kirby’s Tilt ‘n Tumble, made for the Game Boy Color, ten years ago :P If anything, you’ve a better, ample viewpoint.
LOL, starnge but a nicelly game….
loooooool it seems to be so hard to play moving the ipad like that o.o
I suck on everything that depends on my movements and not on a joystick lol
But the game looks really awesome, if I had such a expensive thing like a Ipad I would buy the game, but the ipad is far too expensiv for me yet xD
O Hreter tava cantando a bola pra lançar um boneco de pelúcia do Jules, será que “rola”? :3
Auehaueha XD Awesome! Didnt know that ikiepu was designing a game for Ipad ^^
Like Billy said, it’s not a new idea, but it was nicely done :3 Congratz!
Ok, first of all, thanks to everyone on the feedback! :3
English it is, because this article, like Nuki said, can go to other furry news blogs and websites around the world. Also, the game is 100% in english, because that’s where we aim to sell more, US and Canada.
We would looove to get us and everyone some Jules plushies. It’s a bit hard though.
@TioRoy yes, we are a brazilian company. We’re working from São Paulo, Koga and Flam have visited us already even :3
@Billy-mt @Koush Yes, of course, nothing too new. Ball-rolling games are decades old, and we did not want to start a new genre at all. We wanted to get a known, tried-and-true gameplay so the player will feel comfortable, and give it a new look-and-feel experience, and bring it to the iPad.
Thanks everyone! :3
@ikiepu Eh that’s quite alright x3 Well played idea. At any range, this genre in itself was only used by that said game s’yeah, could be explored a little more.
BTW, does the game have any other motion tracking commands? Like, jumping by bobbing the Ipad up and down?
Nope, just rolling! Sorry! <3
I just signed up to your blogs rss feed. Will you post more on this subject?
Eventually :) this section will receive more efforts in the following months
