Dear lovers of impossible games!

Back in January, we ran the ‘Kinetic new year’ contest, it was super kinetic!

We were floored by the number and quality of submissions! You are a seriously creative bunch! After much deliberation and existential debate, the Stikipixels have chosen their top five favorite entries (we wanted to choose all of them but Daisy said no :( )

Check out the video for the top five winners and check out the entries here.

As an added bonus we awarded everyone who was kinetic enough to enter the contest the mask as well!

It was only a year ago when a little known (but ambitious) indie MMO hit Steam, it’s been a year full of ups and downs (mostly ups) and OWW is a little less ‘little known’ yet more ambitious than ever.


To celebrate our first birthday we’re releasing our first-ever DLC pack.
DLC pack includes:

• The official soundtracks (17 tracks) in MP3 and FLAC formats + ‘secret’ bonus track ‘Electrify my soul’ (the one from the ads).
  
• A collection of 5 masks (3 masks and 2 unique headphones) that will never, ever, be available elsewhere.
  
• Special orange avatar background in chat and in-game social profile, in case the masks aren’t enough to stand out from the crowd.
  
• A unique framed record vinyl asset that can be placed (almost) anywhere
  

Each DLC comes with a warm fuzzy feeling knowing you’ve helped the game, devs, and art-loving AI behind it to pay for coffee, cloud servers and to expand what games can be and do in society.

Thank you for supporting the Stikipixels and helping us grow the Artiverse one frog at a time.
