Development

Fibble was concepted by Cevat Yerli, who is credited as executive producer. On 5 March 2012, Fibble was announced as Crytek's first mobile game using CryEngine 3 and integration into Crytek partnered GFace social network for release in spring.[1][2]

The game was released for iOS on 29 March 2012, with an Android version announced for later. In July 2012, Fibble was updated with a new area and 8 levels after player feedback.[3] Fibble was announced for Kindle Fire HD via Amazon Appstore at the tablet's announcement in September 2012.[4]

Reception

Tim Turi of Game Informer thought Fibble's gameplay is straightforward and may be soon be addicting.[5] GamePro Germany's Michael Orth found the concept interesting in principal but criticized game's light content scope and depth.[6] David Oxford of Gamezebo thought the game seemed suitable for younger or unexperienced players and found it to be too easy but still enjoyable.[7] Harry Slater of Pocket Gamer found it to contain a lot of content but the game is not particular innovative.[8] Edge's Nathan Brown criticized Fibble for barely containing the sandbox gameplay element and just the expectedly beautiful visuals element that were both found in previous Crytek games.[9] Chris Schilling of Eurogamer wrote the next month on Fibble; Schilling criticized the points system as "overkill" and the cut-scenes as unnecessary, but concluded it to be a solid new debut.[10]

Legacy

Crytek's next mobile game, The Collectibles, was developed by the same team, but described as a "typical hardcore game".[11]
