- Wired.com:“Hogworld: Gnart’s Adventure is an adventure game app for children aged 4 to 8 years, and it is brilliant. It is effectively an interactive storybook like none we have seen.... It should be in Apple’s Best Apps for 2011 list and big developers of eBooks should take a look and see what they can learn from this story — it is more than touch points. The inter- activity is woven into the plot, making it a real adventure.” \nQuote fra USA Today 29.01.12 (score 4 of 4) “With stunning 3D visuals, a varied soundtrack, great voice acting and interactions that are seamlessly incorporated into the story, kids will be transported into another world. It is one of the most sophisticated yet accessible book apps published so far.” \nQuote fra iHeartThisApp 23.01.12 “This app defines WOW, and Gnart is a showcase for the future of interactive children’s literature” \nNext to no marketing:\n100.000 downloads \nBest Norwegian game of 2011 \nApple “Best of 2011” in Appstore \n# 1 top grossing i Norge \n# 7 på top grossing in book category US\n
