Benchwarmers

As the substitute players on your sports team, you and your friend take your job as benchwarmers to the next level. Lose yourselves in silly daydreams where you compete in various mini-games to find out who has got the best butt swiping skills. You are going to look silly, butt silly with a friend.

Coal Rush

Coal Rush is a game that mixes the shoveling of coal, into a wild west era locomotive, with railroad switching. We want to bring a Speedrunners type experience into the arcade world and so the emphasis in this two player game is the competition between the two players not to be the one to reach the lower point of the screen first!

Team:
Alec Bergström – Producer and Scrum Master,
Simon Ågren – Product Owner and Designer,
Esbjörn Holmerin Nord – 2D Graphics,
Mikael Ferroukhi – 2D Graphics,
Sofie Lindberg – 2D Graphics,
Jeppe Willatzen – Code and Sound,
Konrad Skagerberg – Code

This top-down game was made in Unity.

Coal Rush won Best Arcade Experience at the Gotland Game Conference 2018, and went on to win a ticket to the show floor at alt.ctrl.GDC in San Francisco 2019!

Take My Shift

Take My Shift is a 3D low poly, colorful two-player game filled with humor. The game is grandparents-proof and rewards communication and cooperation between the players.

It’s Monday morning, as you and your coworker walk into work, you both quickly realize you are alone and you realize that everyone else is sick. It’s up to you and your friend to manage an entire supermarket by yourselves and reach the daily sales goal. I mean… what could possibly go wrong?
