    GUNTOUCHABLES

    Title: GUNTOUCHABLES
    Release year: 2025
    Platform: PC (Steam)
    Input: Keyboard/Mouse
    Players: 1-4
    Developer: Game Swing
    Publisher: Ghost Ship Publishing
    Website: game-swing.com/guntouchables
    price: TBA – PC (Steam)

    Description
    GUNTOUCHABLES is a co-op roguelike doomsday shooter where where you play as a group of preppers in the disaster of their dreams.

    The entire world has fallen and the surface has been overrun by a hostile and aggressively-evolving horde of mutants. Well, not entirely. A motley group of persevering preppers are seizing their moment of glory and holding out against the abominable threat lurking right outside the perimeter of their makeshift establishment.

    From the start of this project we decided to go with an art style that would look unpolished, impressionistic and more spontaneous.

    This would allow us to create content faster and embrace things not looking perfect in all situations. Characters with thin limbs with no clear orientation, and simple, abstract environments. These choices reinforce the game’s primary focus: gameplay.

  • OddBallers

    OddBallers

    Title: OddBallers
    Release year: 2023
    Platform: PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5 & Xbox
    Input: Controller / Keyboard
    Players: 6
    Developer Team: Game Swing
    Publisher: Ubisoft
    Website: oddballersgame.com
    Price: 20€ – PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, Playstation & Xbox

    Description
    OddBallers is the spiritual successor to Stikbold! our first major title. The motivation for making OddBallers was to bring the fun local-multiplayer aspect of Stikbold! online, together with even more crazy hazards levels and mechanics.

    The game was published by Ubisoft which meant we were collaborating with their internal teams throughout the latter half of the production of the game. It was quite the challenge for a small company like Game Swing to fulfil the demands of a publisher of this size. They wanted the game to be launched simultaneously on all platforms so we scaled up the team quite a lot in this period and managed to release on schedule. I’m incredibly impressed and thankful for the team we got together in this period who made it all happen.

    I am particularly proud of the technological understanding I developed during this project. The optimizations and workflow insights have become core principles in subsequent games.

    I wish we could’ve kept developing on the game after the launch, we often talked about how we wanted more world building with all the wacky characters we could create, and have more game modes than just the “tournament mode”.

    How to play
    Buy and download the game from any of the store pages listed up top. It’s also been released a bunch more places that I’m unaware of.

  • The floor is cats

    The floor is cats

    Title: The floor is cats
    Release year: Never released
    Platform: android
    Input: touch
    Players: 1
    Team: Jonathan “Joon” van Hove + Lars Bindslev
    Price: 0

    Description
    Collect clocks and avoid stepping on cats to avoid waking them up. Admittedly we did not spend much time on the theme of the game, but rather wanted to explore alternative movement controls.
    This game was developed as part of the Global Game Jam 2015 at the ITU Copenhagen jam site. We wanted to create something really small and simple and spend more time on polish, but we had to include a couple more weekends to get it to where it is now.

    How to play
    The player walks by putting their finger on the screen and rotating the phone (and the world), but remember to always have one foot on the ground to avoid falling, like real life.

    Play
    The game “The floor is cats” remained unreleased, but Joon continued the development and created the game Don’t Trip for iOS and Android game that can be played here: Don’t Trip

    Foosball is a retro looking local multiplayer game for 4 players.
    It has very sensitive and realistic controls, which is why you can only play it with 4 xbox360 controllers.
    The game was originally made for the Chainjam[http://joon.be/portfolio/chain-jam/], but never made it into the rotation because the controls wouldn’t work with keyboard which was an requirement.

    How to play
    You will have a bad time playing this if you are not 4 players with 4 xbox360 controllers.
    Use only the sticks, L-stick controls your left bar of foosball players, R-stick controls your right.
    Push the stick up to move the foosball players up and so on…

    Players: 6-48

    Description
    DM i Radiobiler (The danish bumper cars championship) was an event held in the now demolished Damhus Tivoli. DM i Radiobiler was created as our B.Sc. in Digital Performance at Roskilde University.
    The game is simple, be the best at bumper cars by racking up points for crashing into other participants. Whoever gets the most point each heat will move on to the next round.
    Damhus Tivoli was kind enough to lend us their bumper cars for an entire day, we strapped them with Nintendo Wiimotes to measure the collisions and give points thereafter.
