Hey, this is excellent news. I know the guys & girls at Voofoo and they are a talented, experienced and sound bunch.

The Mantis Engine is an excellent engine that was levering half-floats early on with the Pro helping it hit native 4K. Still a really fun and great handling arcade racer. I would even the engine is one of the draws of this purchase as a multi-platform engine like that with a full physics element would be a great find for all the teams?

VooFoo Studios are a talented bunch, played a fair amount of their games and really enjoyed them. If this move gives them more stability going into the future, good for them.
