Some of you may be curious about the mouse creature we’ve been showcasing in our Outwitters banner. He’s the soldier for the Adorables, and these are his brothers in war.
The Adorables is a team we designed for two kinds of people. The first are people who enjoy rainbows, birthday cakes, and narwhals. It’s the team I plan to use to get my sister to play. The second kind of person is slightly more sinister. They’ll be the most brilliant opponents you’ve ever encountered, but they’ll lack the common decency to simply walk all over you. No. They will skip all over you, with stuffed elephants and what looks like a Care Bear… but is legally distinct from a Care Bear.
Om Nom Nom
The Adorables’ special unit is called a “Mobi”, as in Moby Dick and as in Mobi-lity. Here’s how he works at the moment: Surround Mobi with up to six comrades, and tell him to inhale. All six will hop into his gullet, and all will move for the price of one character. If Mobi dies, everyone in his belly dies with him. So the Adorables’ advantage is the ability to quickly taxi your slower characters up the field. But it’s a risky maneuver, since Mobi himself is not very durable. The more units he carries, the more costly his loss.
The Adorables’ homeworld map is still under construction, but I can tell you that I watched Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony, and the Care Bears this morning while brainstorming.

Very cute design
Personally I’m more of a beluga whale fan, but a narwhal should work too. 🙂
Pretty cool
Brilliant! One question though: why have they gone orange? Can we change the colour scheme or something? That would be ace.
Om Nom Nom… lol…
lol love the snake
@Isaac: Each team has four color schemes to choose from: Green, Blue, Red, & Gold.
Love it!!!!! can’t wait for more!!!! keep up the awesome work!!!! (yay for over-use of !’s)
OMG, can’t wait to pwn someone with teddy bears. Epic Cherry Tapping: http://bit.ly/l4VBsL
Yeah, Awesome guys!
P.S. my friends were wondering weather you guys meant the “Tilt-to-Live” thing on the back of the Caffeine blast mug cup to have a double meaning, like to tilt the cup and drink coffee to live… I honestly think its just your logo, but did you mean it as an extra little joke?
P.P.S. Larger P.S. than actual message.:P
@Solan: It’s just the logo, man. But if they like that joke, please don’t tell them I said anything.
That narwhal has wings.
Yay!
Hey, Adam, so each team will have four color schemes besides their regular colors? Because silver and orange aren’t any of those other schemes. Just curious.
@texas I reckonwe saw The Feedback in blue, and now The Adorables in gold. Though you could be right.
Will you be able to make Russian dolls with mobis?
Will you be able to make ‘Russian dolls’ with mobis?
Whoops!
I though it had not posted it the first time
@Someone they’re just flippers… right?
Actually, it does have a unicorn horn too. An orange flying inhaling unicorn-narwhal? Yes please.
Could someone explain how the sniper works? Does it like fire a lethal beam of cuddly death with it’s MASSIVE eye?
@Isaac: Narwhals have horns like that for real too. That’s how the unicorn myth started. For real. Really real. Really.
Meh. I still want a cuddly orange Narwhal. And a robot. And a really really evil fire monster type thing. Oh, and throw in a plant-creature or two. And, and… … …
Don’t forget the alien race. Maybe?
For several reasons, do NOT have a bird race.
(Extremely basic HTML for the win!)
@Someone Why not include a bird race?
Not intending to be somewhat annoying and irratating; but when will a new article be posted. I’m staying updated and want to know what will come next in the Outwitters design process. And also can we have a heads up on what possibly might be the next released race on the game. Any ideas, please post on the blog, or preferably, on a new article. Any way I’m probably asking for too much, but in other words, you guy are awesome!
“Guys” not guy. Phhhgh.
Alien race would be awesome.
I, too, think a bird race might not work. Maybe though. Maybe not.
I think a bird race would be cool
The heavy, for example, could be a eagle
the narwhal needs more of an ability, like its horn damages close up emenies on attack.
Can the scrambler unit take control of a fully loaded “Mobi”? Six units enemy units at your disposal at the cost of one of your own would leave your opponent shaking in fear…
it should be able to brainwash the mobi, but the narwhal needs another side power, just transportation is not good enough(mabey basic progectile of the horn and blow hole), it just needs more.
I just love the sprite work here! Excellent stuff, cannot wait to see the other teams.
