Swing Striker News

Hello to everyone from the team at Giant Fox Studios! (Big Wavey Wave)

If you have been following our posts over the past few months you can see that our upcoming game, Swing Striker, has received a ton of updates. Swing Striker has been in development for a little while now but GIant Fox Studios is still crafting new quality content for it everyday! We are very proud of how far we have come. This game started as a simple flash game on Bored.com and was streamed by PewDiePie…

…and has risen to become a fully fleshed-out modern game with advanced physics and compelling graphics!

Swing Striker is being developed to include game modes for every type of player. The Giant Fox Studios team has been working on crafting a single-player campaign that will provide many hours of universe spanning puzzles, monster bashing, and mystery solving entertainment. You will get a chance to play with your favorite Swing Striker, learn their story, and master their special abilities.



Swing Striker has a robust multiplayer experience. Dozens of unique stadiums with their own challenges await you and your friends. Prove your superiority with precision and timing in our Swing Striker mode while showing your ferocity in our Deathmatch stadiums. Don’t have friends? Don’t worry! We will have matchmaking available!

Giant Fox Studios has made many quality games and Swing Striker may be our most ambitious project yet. Because of this we are spending the time to make sure that when we bring this game to you it will be polished, tested, and at its fullest potential.

Thank you for supporting us and wishlisting this game. All of us at Giant Fox Studios really appreciate you, our fans, for keeping an eye on our posts and looking forward to our future releases. We would be nothing without you! Come hang out with us on Discord: Giant Fox Discord Channel

The universe is a big place full of scary and dangerous people. Those dangerous people all fear Slick, the universe's top assassin. Slick is quick and nimble with plenty of tricks up his sleeve. Slick is a big part of why Swing Striker is the universe-wide phenomenon that it is now, even if he didn’t intend it.



Slick is done with that life, however, and now practices his “fine art” on his Swing Striker opponents. Since joining the Swing Striker league he has made a different type of name for himself by proving to be the strongest challenger in the game. A big reason for his success seems to be that, despite it being against Swing Striker regulations, he carries his rocket launcher into the stadium, blasting his fellow Strikers to bits whenever the urge hits him.



The team over at Giant Fox Studios always gets a bit nervous when someone chooses Slick as their Striker. Time and time again his rocket ability keeps everyone playing against him in check. We have spent quite a bit of time tweaking and balancing his special ability but one thing has remained true, it’s an explosion of fun!

While you are waiting to try out Slick’s awesome rocket for yourself, why don’t you spend the time playing one of our other titles? Did you know we don’t only make PC games? In fact, most of our team has worked on some of your favorite mobile games! One of our most successful is Toadled, a game we are still getting rave reviews about to this day. Check out Toadled here: Toadled on Steam

With so much QA and bug fixing, who has time to play games?? Well, we do! Every week, the Giant Fox team hops online to play our game together. This is an important thing for us! We work remotely nowadays and it's nice to be able to spend some time as a team with something fun. And, with that in mind, what could be more fun than playing Swing Striker??

During our playtest sessions silly things happen all the time and bugs show themselves. This was certainly a big one:

Whelp, looks like our development team has some more work to do! Of course, this is all part of the process of building and creating games. The development team spends a lot of time making sure the playing process is smooth and bug free. They do that while keeping up with requests for new mechanics and abilities from the design team.

Now, just because we are playing games this week doesn’t mean that we aren’t still working hard to make Swing Striker great! This week, we have put the finishing touches on some of our newest levels. There are many steps to getting a level from concept to in-game. Check out this early concept sketch for a sneak peak into the future of Swing Striker!




Until next time!

The unbelievably talented, compellingly unique and incredibly handsome Giant Fox team is working hard to bring Swing Striker’s new abilities and power-ups to life. We are going to be highlighting a few of these over the next few weeks so check back in for regular updates.

These new abilities we are going to highlight take time to develop in order to ensure they are the best for future players. We have grown as a team and through that have a new QA process to develop new ideas. Finding and knocking out bugs is a part of this process. Our development team has done a great job of clearing out the backlog and gearing towards the future with a new Demo version to be released soon!

This week we want to show you “The Golden Boot!” This giant golden clodhopper plows through your opponents and kicks the ball right where you want it. We love to consider mechanics for players that are easy to pick up but hard to master, and this is certainly one of them. Make sure to grab this power-up and guarantee yourself a victory before your friends do!



Our QA team has created this GIF to show you the perfect Golden Boot shot, but can you see the other abilities on display as well?

All of us at Giant Fox Studios are excited about the progress we’ve made on our game Swing Striker this past month!

Our development team has made great strides in crafting the new character abilities and testing new game modes for our players.



QA has been a focus this month and the team has been combing through our game to make sure it is polished and ready for our fans.

You have seen many of our wacky characters, but where do they come from? Many of our Swing Strikers had to overcome great obstacles to get to where they are today. This past month we have spent a lot of time on a very INKredible Swing Striker, Squid Kicks. Her journey will lead you to places you won't expect and provide challenges you can’t resist!

How does a squid go into battle? Well armed.
