Infused with console platformer mechanics, the fun of seeing your favorite cartoon characters interacting in the same universe and an art direction that applied some anime aesthetics to characters like Dexter from DexterвЂ™s Lab, FusionFallВ was an appealing if unexpected concept. Thirteen years later, whatвЂ™s most striking about FusionFallВ is its position in pop culture history.

Looking back, the game stands as a time capsule of a period in which the relationship between American and Japanese pop culture was beginning to shift, eventually leading to the mainstream popularity anime now enjoys in the West.Д¬artoon Network FusionFall was developed by the now-defunct Korean game studio, Grigon Entertainment, and was directed by Levon Hakobyan and Greg Grigon, both of whom also wrote the game alongside Erab Azraeu. Work on the game began in 2006, culminating in its release in 2009. The premise and gameplay centered around Planet Fusion, a mass of planets led by Lord Fuse, who wants to take over and absorb every planet in the universe.

With FuseвЂ™s sights set on Cartoon Network Earth, the players had to suit up, gear up and rise up to save the day. Players would receive missions from various Cartoon Network characters, and defeating evil Fusion versions of CN characters would rewards nanos, mini versions of the character they defeated, which would aid them in battle with various powers and customizable features. Puzzles, platformer elements, raids and exploration were thrown into the mix to make for one of the more substantial kidsвЂ™ MMOs at the time.
