Hello everyone.

EeuorT mentioned to make a post about the Early Access launch of our indie game "Swordy".

Swordy is a local party brawler with chaotic physics-based action. We designed in the controls with heavy emphasis on analogue input - right stick set the target for your top down character aim their weapon. You have to get a feel for and utilize the physics and timing in order to attack effectively. This game is inspired by games like "Hammerfight" and "Die by the Sword" but Swordy has a local-multiplayer / local-co-op focus.

Swordy has been a labor of love for the four of us. We first started working after work hours and during weekends on it together. Once we had a solid prototype version we took it to PAX Australia (we are from New Zealand) where Microsoft picked us up and enabled us to work full time for the last two years. This is our Early Access release. The core combat gameplay is solid and in place, during EA we will be adding more weapons, more arenas, more game modes etc. We will be improving the AI and bringing it into a singleplayer / co-op experience.

More than happy to answer any questions.

We're open to any advice anyone might have.

Thanks!
