Bit Managers kept trying to release their game 'Infrey Quest', later known as The Adventures of Pinocchio, without success, because Infogrames didn't want to. Then, according to Zydro on his Twitter profile (you can see an excerpt in the development tab), they decided to ask the French giant for permission to try to publish the game with a German company (Laguna), which suggested various changes that ended up giving them as result the Otto's Ottifanten.

The curious thing about the case is that Infogrames bought Laguna, and the game ended up being published by those who did not want to do it at first ... And not only that; They were delighted with the result and commissioned another isometric, based on another popular character in Germany, this 'Die Maus' (The Mouse). According to Zydro, they decided to go a step further with this new game, and they did it with two characters instead of one, increasing the complexity (giving rise, on the other hand, to a bug that he explains in the development tab).

Carambola of destiny, the game was released before its predecessor, the Ottifanten, and had good sales in the German market.
