First up, Squish is a party game for those who love a rave! Fast-paced party action is the basis of Squish, a game where you and up to three gooey friends rave it up in an underground crypt as it collapses down on you. You must push blocks, dodge, and jump to survive the rave and squish your opponents. Last Skelegoo standing takes it all!
Whether you’re looking to squish other players directly or trying to survive until the end while partying on the sides, there are many ways to rave it up.
Partying is easy, but surviving a collapsing underground rave is hard!
Squish is easy to learn, but hard to master! There are only a few controls to pick up before you can push blocks and dodge threats that come your way.
Mastering the controls and knowing exactly how to manipulate the terrain to survive, however, is another story.
The physical release of Squish will be available for Nintendo Switch ® in October 2022, priced at £34.99 / €39.99.
Full Game Trailer.
Available to Pre-Order from retailers starting today!
Next up, Exophobia is a retro inspired first-person shooter. Explore and fight your way through a crashed human spaceship infested with relentless hordes of aliens as you become more powerful with exciting weapon upgrades and powerups in this Shooter with Metroidvania elements.
FPS gameplay where quick reflexes and clever positioning are vital to survive.
From worm infested laboratories to the mechanical inner workings of the spaceship engine, discover a spaceship with multiple floors, each featuring a unique hostile environment.
Improve your weapon with a new ability every time you reach a specialized weapon laboratory. In metroidvania fashion, these abilities drastically empower you in combat and also unlock previously inaccessible areas required to progress.
Battle ruthless enemies possessing unique attack patterns, including menacing boss fights, each with their own defeating strategy.
The physical release of Exophobia will be available for Nintendo Switch ® and PlayStation ® 4 and 5 and is scheduled for release in 2023, priced at £34.99 / €39.99.

Satisfying fast-paced combat.

Your attacks change according to the “Cores” you select and the upgrades you decide to take on your runs.
Meet NPCs and find upgrades along your quest to unlock unique powers.
Each playable character has their own weapons of choice kept in their own armoury.
