History
When Bizarre Creations was going through a re-structure, Jeff Lewis was given an offer by his boss to purchase the rights for a pound, seeing as Fur Fighters II was probably never going happen. He handed him five pounds instead, thus purchasing the rights to the game. When Bizarre Creations fell apart, he and Mark Craig, now working for Lucid Games, decided to port Fur Fighters over after looking at how similar iOS games were to Dreamcast in terms of power. After 200 hours of programming, the team were able to convert Fur Fighters over to the iOS.

Official Description
The classic action adventure ‘Fur Fighters’ comes to iOS.

When nature calls, shoot it!

Introducing the Fur Fighters, an elite squad of six animated animal commandos on a quest to rescue their families and save the free world!

The malevolent fat-cat General Viggo has kidnapped the Fur Fighters’ families and mutated them for his own fiendish ends. Now it’s up to you, playing as all six animal liberators, to knock the fluff out of Viggo’s army of dimwitted bears, save your babies and rescue the planet from the claws of evil.

Part action shooter, part mind wrecking puzzler, all attitude! Featuring over 30 challenging levels and 20 devastating weapons. Play as all six of the Fur Fighters using their individual special skills to solve puzzles and obliterate the bad guys. A raging romp through fiendish feline conspiracies and blazing animal combat.

Developed by original members of the Bizarre Creations development team.
