Lugaru: The Rabbit's Foot is the first commercial video game created by Wolfire Games. It is a cross-platform, 3D action game for Microsoft Windows, AmigaOS 4, AROS, Mac OS X, and Linux. The player character is Turner, an anthropomorphic rabbit with combat skills. Using a wide variety of combat techniques, Turner battles wolves and hostile rabbits across grassland, snow, and desert landscapes.
Lugaru was made almost solely by David Rosen, including the game engine, models, animations and story. It was one of the first independently produced video games to employ ragdoll physics. It uses a unique combat system that bases attacks and counters on timing and context rather than different key combinations. It was well reviewed and was fairly well received among the shareware community, especially among Mac users. Tim Soret would later improve the game's graphical textures, and Wolfire currently sells this updated version as Lugaru HD.
The name Lugaru is a phonetic spelling of "loup-garou", which is French for werewolf.
David Rosen has announced that Overgrowth (video game) will be the sequel to Lugaru.
The story takes place on the island of Lugaru, an unknown number of years after the fall of the Human race. The story focuses on Turner, a mildly famous retired warrior rabbit who lives in a small village with his family and friends.
