Lumo’s Cat and the Co-op Collider
For Lumo’s Cat and the Co-op Collider Team Lumo have designed a new experience especially for the Apple TV.
Steve Stopps says:
“We were originally console developers before we transitioned to mobile a few years ago, so we knew the mobile game just wouldn’t make sense as a big screen experience. We wanted to create a fast paced social game for all the family.”
The result is Lumo’s Cat and the Co-op Collider; charming, fun packed couch co-op mayhem. Players take control of the Star People, and try to protect their sleeping cat from hoards of noisy mice.

Unique Visuals:
The unique visual direction is the result of an experimental collaborations between two artists:
Romane Granger – A student of ENSAAMA Olivier de Serres in Paris

Nicholas Gilligan Williams – The Team Lumo house artist

Romane approached Team Lumo for work experience. The team loved her art style, and entrusted her with the art direction for Lumo’s Cat. Nic worked with Romane helping her explore the possibilities of her mixed media concepts. Nic then carefully interpreted Romane’s 2D concepts into expressive 3D characters and environments, adding his own voice to the work while maintaining the integrity of Romane’s initial vision.
This experimental approach created a unique visual experience. Each scene is a rich tableau with an underlying depth that reaches beyond the lighthearted antics of the mobile game experience.
