Animation studio LAIKA, movie company Focus Features, and RED Games, a division of RED Interactive Agency, has announced the launch of The Boxtrolls: Slide 'n' Sneak, a beautifully crafted side-scrolling action adventure game based on the must-see 3D stop-motion-animated family event movie of the year, The Boxtrolls. Available for iOS and coming soon for Android, the mobile game introduces players to the underground cavern-dwelling community of fun and fantastical creatures, the Boxtrolls, and gives users a bold new way to experience the creativity and excitement of the movie.

The Boxtrolls: Slide 'n' Sneak shares the movie's spirit of innovation and visual integrity, and thereby achieves a level of quality that is unprecedented in mobile gaming. To emulate LAIKA's unique animation style in a touch screen experience, RED Games uses traditional animation techniques to create interactive characters from images taken directly from the film, preserving all the details and textures in rich retina-quality graphics. The game utilizes the native gyroscope in many devices to provide a sense of depth – menu scenes twist and move as the user tilts the device, creating a parallax effect that is stunning.

GAMEPLAY
Journey through the exciting world of Cheesebridge on a mission to rescue captured Boxtrolls from the devious Red Hats' factory lair! Run, jump, and slide to avoid unexpected Red Hat encounters and traps, and collect gears and cogs in over 30 increasingly difficult levels inspired by the movie's thrilling scenes. Receive a light bulb reward for completing a level successfully, or earn three for a perfect run. In order to progress to a new area of Cheesebridge, players need to collect a specific number of light bulbs and defeat the Red Hats.

In the game, players can take up to three Boxtrolls on missions. Players take control of the lead Boxtroll as the others follow. When the leader is captured, the player guides the next Boxtroll in line. Players can unlock additional Boxtrolls and special power-ups using gears and cogs collected throughout the game for help making it through tough situations.
