The cool thing about Clay Jam, a mobile game where you roll a boulder down a hill to squish monsters, is that the art was meticulously created over the past year using claymation film techniques.

Chris Roe, the art director at indie game studio Fat Pebble, built the game’s scenes from real clay in his garage over the past year. Now, the title is launching today as a mobile game on Apple’s iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPad Mini, and iPod Touch) and Google’s Android platform courtesy of Zynga.
