Dundee, Jan 21st, in the year of our Lord 2016
-- BAUM is an enchanting, highly-addictive 2D platform game due
to launch on the Apple App Store on Thursday 21st January in 12
languages. The first release of Dundee independent games studio,
A Fox Wot I Drew, it has been supported to market by the

What is BAUM?
Translated from the German for ‘tree’, BAUM is a physics-based
puzzle platformer for iOS.
Simultaneously exciting and tranquil, the challenge is to guide
your raindrop through twisted tree limbs, flowers, thorns,
mushrooms and more using the power of wind across a beautifully
designed backdrop.
Like the droplet, find the flow and fluidity of the levels to
avoid obstacles that will cut your journey to the roots short.
BAUM rewards the use of natural, sweeping gestures to navigate
the world and leads the player with flowers to bloom, bringing
the tree to life. Organic shapes and fluid movements will rule
the day in a world where players must practise control and
finesse to succeed in their journey.
Ideal for players looking for a compelling, premium mobile
experience that balances skill and reflex in a beautifully
botanical package. BAUM is currently an iOS exclusive.
