Swing Striker News

Every planet in the Swing Striker universe is bursting with life, and it's up to our art team to develop the environment, characters, and enemies which inhabit it!

Our current spotlight is on Penny Webb and the vibrant, techno jungles of Deltronopolis, the place she calls home. Meet the friends and family who have shaped this punchy, fist-flinging spider into the WebSwimming champion she is today!



Check out these early sneak peeks into the first steps taken to begin fleshing out our spider striker’s wonderful world.

Here are some concepts for Penny Webb's friends and family

And here are some sketches for the environment and level designs in her world

We look forward to sharing more behind-the-scenes work with you in the future!

Stay tuned in, Strikers!

How long does it take to create the awesome visuals you see in video games? Quite a bit longer than you might think! Our dedicated art team goes through a multistep process to create many of our designs, even the deceptively simple-seeming ones. That process includes: Concepting, prototyping, then finalizing and integration - all while reporting back to the rest of the team for feedback throughout the process.

Check out some of the stuff we've been working on for Squid Kicks!



Squid Kicks hails from Evercoral, a mostly ocean world that is home to a population of tough competitors and their favorite brutal sport, Battle Coral!



Here we have an overhead view of some of the many coral clusters dotting the surface of the planet.



You'll be able to see this art and more in the new animated intro for Squid Kicks' story mode!

Our Swing Striker team has been hard at work adding a full story mode for our beloved character, Squid Kicks!

Social Media influencer by day, swing striker by night, she can kick anyone's butt with the giant boot attached to her robot suit that she built herself and named after her grandma, Susan.



We've been hard at work making new levels, environmental art, boss fights, and new fans that will cheer you on from the stands!









Swing Striker Demo
You can find out more about Squid Kicks, her fans, and the challenges she'll face when Swing Striker is released. The demo version will only have Basic B's story, but don't worry! We're only 2 characters away from releasing to Steam.

There's no official date yet, but 🤞 we hope it's soon!

Every week or two, the Swing Striker team gets on Discord and Twitch to playtest some of the new features in the game. It's a great way for you to see a behind the scenes look at how we test, evaluate, and iterate on our games, along with an opportunity to see hilarious physics bugs that come up.

During this past week's test, we tried out the new character abilities, death match mode, and a few new levels for Squid Kick's single player mode! Check out this silly clip:

It’s Spooky Season and everyone at Giant Fox Studios is excited for what is to come! It’s a beautiful time of year in which the mornings get chilly, the leaves turn yellow, and the spiders start to build their last webs of the year.

Not all spiders are created equal however, and our Swing Striker, Penny Web, is a great example of that. Her speed and wicked spinning punch make her an extraordinary choice as you battle your friends for Swing Striker dominance!

To honor the season and one of our favorite Strikers, our art team has assembled some concepts of Penny Web:



Penny Web is now a full-functioning member of the Swing Striker team. Check out these gifs of her in action!





Giant Fox Studios is continuing our work on Swing Striker and our other projects, building a big game with a compelling story for our fans to explore. Check back in next week when we talk about one of our super popular past projects you can play right now! The spectacular experience: Toadled.



Happy Fall!
