 The designers say they were guided by works such as "The Lion King" and "The Iron Giant" and that it is a "coming-of-age story".The designers were heavily influenced by the work of Hayao Miyazaki, particularly with one of the levels "Valley of the Wind", being a nod to "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind".The art style is meant to appear hand-drawn, similar to the more recent "Rayman" titles that utilize Ubisoft's UbiArt graphics engine; the game instead uses the Unity engine.
