SwordSwipe

Dads. Day Jobs. Dreams.

SwordSwipe Studios is comprised of 3 dads with day jobs. We were all NES gamers, and we want to bring the same sense of wonder and imagination to our kids and beyond.  That means vibrant, colorful worlds and great melodic music and simple, catchy fun.  We strive to make polished, high-fidelity 2D games. Mike comes from a background in game design, programming, and user experience design. Doug is a user experience designer with experience in art, graphic design, programming, and music. Chad has a rich art background and draws for independent comics. Together we make a team that is well versed on the development and design lifecycle and puts the player at the center of all decision making.

We put our families and commitments first, but we look for every chunk of time in between to work toward our dream of being full time devs. 

Although they are no longer available, we’ve released multiple games for iOS and Android. We learned a lot through that experience and are bringing our first major “gamer’s game”, Bot Gaiden, to PC and consoles.
