Since that addition, the game was renamed as "Lugaru HD". This textures were developed by a fan of the game called Tim Soret. On May 2009, a pack with high resolution textures was added by default to the game. As a result, they invited anyone who had purchased an illegitimate copy of the game to contact them in order to receive a legitimate copy of the game and a bonus Steam key. Wolfire was not contacted by Apple in any way, nor were they informed about what would happen to customers who had purchased the pirated version. When pressed about the issue, iCoder developer Alex Matlin argued that the re-selling of the title qualified as fair-use under the open-source GPL license which the game was released under, despite the license reading: "Wolfire has allowed the data to be freely redistributed for non commercial purposes, but it is forbidden to use in any revenue generating works."ĭespite contacting Apple the day that the counterfeit was spotted, the pirated version of the game was not removed from the App Store until over a week later, by which point it had reached #60 on the Store's sales pages. While Wolfire already offered the game through the store as "Lugaru HD" for $9.99, the pirated version was listed using the previous title of "Lugaru" by an individual named Michael Latour with the developer iCoder for $0.99 (later being raised to $1.99). Shortly after the release of the Mac App Store in February of 2011, Wolfire Games reported on their blog that an effectively pirated version of Lugaru HD was being sold through Apple's service. As the game progress additional weapons become available, like sword or staff, each one with the techniques of their own. Sometimes, it stands to reason to remain undetected and sneak up on the enemies from behind taking them out one by one. The list include simple attacks, attack reversals, counter-reversals, long-range knife attack and a strong rabbit kick. The players will have access to various actions at their disposal, each one resulting in different move depending on the context in which the action was performed. The prominent feature of Lugaru is a unique combat system that takes advantage of skeleton animation in mix with rag-doll physics. The brave kung-fu rabbit will have to face wolves, bandits and even treacherous friends to fully understand what exactly is going on. At first, the task seems clear, however soon a tangled up conspiracy begins to unravel itself. His name is Turner, his wife has been killed and his only son kidnapped by a band of rogue raiders. In Lugaru the players takes under his control an anthropomorphic rabbit, adept of various melee and long-range combat techniques.
