Description

Shwip is the only twin-stick shooter with a WHIP! Satisfy your daily pixel-induced fix by blowing up your enemies with an arsenal of weapons and abilities the military would be jealous of. Outmaneuver your enemies with tight controls that make setting traps, disabling and boosting your way to safety light and responsive. Go brute force in arcade or show off your new skills in style, then; gear up for a tense checkpoint romp through an active minefield. Did we mention Shwip has global leader-boards and local multi-player? Compete against friends or random internet strangers and reach for the top, soldier.

History

Shwip is the brainchild of developers John and Robert. What began as a humble side project to test newly gained skills from school and workplace, turned into a side project that allowed both developers unfiltered access into their creative and problem solving skillsets. Building the games they’ve always wanted to play has become a slogan for Jamhammer Games, and Shwip is a showcase of their first offering to the industry.

Features

  • Four unique game modes geared towards different styles of play including Arcade, Style and Minefield.
