We're soooooo excited ( and nervous!) for you all to get your hands on Forge and Fight which is NOW LIVE, and we have a 15% launch DISCOUNT going on RIGHT NOW! But what is Forge and Fight?

Minor update coming out today, specifics below! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32613003%2F3472c419437f951016e765a7ae1d92fa12bf54c8.jpg Here are the changes we made: Did some detective work and put a missing meatball back in its place Integrated the Twitch leaderboards into steam to offer better long-term support.

Due to some weird physics interactions in a few levels and leaderboard inconsistencies we've pushed another patch!

Thanks for playing the game, and we're looking forward to celebrate the first Hardcore Marathon winner!

- Verlet Swing swooshes out today - 18 September 2018
I’ve had fun swinging around New York this past week, but I’m ready to move on to somewhere more exotic. Pretending to be a super-strong man-spider hybrid with a supernatural sense of danger just feels so… tame. Fortunately I’ve come across Verlet Swing , a grappling hook game where you hurl yourself through a fever dream of floating pizza slices, majestic goldfish and malteasers. The full game is out later today, but there’s a free prototype that’s well worth slinging through. This is a wild departure from Passpartout , developers Flamebait Games’ previous game, where you play as an artist attempting to flog your MS Paint creations. I’d like to think all this takes place inside that artist’s head. (more…)
