Looney Tunes Dash! was an endless running video game developed and published by Zynga and Eat Sleep Play.[1][2] The game was released for iOS devices on December 17, 2014, and Android on April 24, 2015.[3][4]

Gameplay

The gameplay is an endless running platform game featuring Looney Tunes characters. Playable characters include Bugs Bunny (chased by Elmer Fudd), Daffy Duck (chased by Yosemite Sam), the Road Runner (chased by Wile E. Coyote), Tweety Bird (chased by Sylvester the Cat), the Tasmanian Devil (chased by the Tasmanian She-Devil), and Speedy Gonzales (chased by Sylvester). The player can swipe the touchscreen to move the characters left or right and make them jump and slide. They can also collect coins, "Collector's Cards" and power-ups (including one that turns the character into Gossamer) and activate the characters' "Special Abilities" to fly over or smash through obstacles and hazards.[5] The game contains 60 episodes and 900 levels, each styled after a different cartoon theme.[6]

Development

Looney Tunes Dash! was developed under the oversight of John vanSuchtelen, with Michael Waite as the creative director.[2][7] Artists and designers working on the game included Christopher Diller,[8][9] Matt Wood,[10] Miles Collins,[lower-alpha 1] Shylow Barker,[18] Jacob English,[19][20][21] Erica Larson,[22] Stephen Khan Ervin,[23] Renjit M.,[24] and Luiz Bruno.[25]

The music was composed by Clint Bajakian and Jeremy Garren (who also did the sound design) at Pyramind Studios, as a homage to Carl W. Stalling's soundtrack from the classic cartoons.[26][27][28] Casting was done by Mike Forst, with voices provided by Jeff Bergman (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat, Beaky Buzzard, Tasmanian Devil, Tasmanian She-Devil, Yosemite Sam and Foghorn Leghorn), Bob Bergen (Porky Pig), Eric Bauza (Marvin the Martian, Speedy Gonzales, Count Bloodcount and Hugo the Abominable Snowman), Jim Cummings (Tasmanian Devil; own levels), and Lauri Fraser (Granny and Witch Hazel).[27][29] Miss Prissy (voiced by Fraser) was planned to appear in the game,[27] but went unused.

Shutdown

Looney Tunes Dash! was shut down on January 27, 2018. If the game was downloaded before the shutdown, the main menu is still accessible, but the levels are not.
