The game Harry The Fairy is now available in an App store near you, and IGN met up with the creator of the game for a
talk about who Harry the Fairy really is.

Harry the Fairy is about a cute green fairy that needs so save all of his girlfriends. In each level a girlfriend is hidden somewhere in a cage, and Harry needs to release them. We believe Harry the Fairy sounds like a fun character so we wanted to get to know him a little better. We caught up with lead director Jacob Honore about Harry’s personality and how Jacob and his team came up with his name.
The game is a puzzle game set in a dark world with caves, so Jacob and his team wanted to create a contrast to the dark universe. They came up with the green. Jacob explains this and adds that “We wanted a character that felt out of place.”
The first character the designers did had him wearing big teeth and looking scared. This was something the test audience found funny, so the team wanted to keep his funny traits and look.

But how on earth did the creator come up with the name? Jacob laughs at this question and
explains how it was a Friday afternoon after work that the creators sat down drinking a beer or
nine. They began pondering about the character design, and they came to the conclusion that the
he looked kind of gay, therefore the name Harry the Fairy.
They kept the name as a working title, but after meeting with the publisher they decided to keep it.
“The publisher liked the name laughing for half an hour, and asked if we could stick to that or hold on to that. So it was rather a coincidence that we ended with that name.
The big question we are all wondering about after the revelation of the name is: So is Harry gay?
“He is not a homosexual but he has a lot of female friends. It (The gay joke) is funny if you get it but it you don’t he is just a cute character” said Jacob.
This was a little about Harry the fairy and we are looking forward to bring you more news about the game in the future.
