Hey Everyone!
If you've not heard the news, our little solo/co-op adventure picked up the Visual Art award at this years Independent Games Festival (IGF)!!
Because of current events the awards ceremony was completely online, rather than being part of GDC in San Fransisco, but the IGF organisers still put on a fantastic show, which you can watch back here if you missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LU0h2mJEtc
We're all self-isolating at home, just like everyone at our publishers Double Fine, but happily we were all able to join in on a giant video chat together. It was really special to virtually join up and watch the Day Of The Devs preshow together and then the awards themselves. Some good whiskey was consumed.
It wouldn't be an awards speech without some thanks and we really want to thank EVERYONE that's played the game (especially if you left us a review ;)
And we've still got one more big awards show still to come - the BAFTAs on the 2nd April. We've managed to get 4 nominations - Artistic Achievement, Best British Game, Best Debut, Best Family, so all our fingers crossed - which makes typing this hard.
To celebrate this we've discounted the game, so if you know anyone you think would enjoy it please let them know. It's a tough time out there at the moment, so we hope our very heartfelt adventure will spread some joy, and help friends spend some quality time together via its online co-op.
Stay safe and healthy.
Your pals at Foam Sword

The story features two new friends: Nessa & Demelza. They're tough and imaginative girls exploring the island of Penfurzy in search of mysteries and treasure. Cycling around on their bikes, exploring the natural beauty of their surroundings, they experience their first taste of a more grown-up freedom. But this new-found independence also leads them into danger, both modern and ancient.
With a mixture of ingenuity and imagination, they deal with enemies and a challenging environment using frisbees, water-balloons, a cranked-up stereo, a pet goose, and more. The trinkets they collect from their adventures allow them to upgrade their bikes and widen their treasure-hunt.
As Nessa and Demelza try to figure-out the puzzling adult world around them, it's their friendship and imagination that guides them on their quest: to find the legendary treasure! (as well as saving some of those stupid adults that just keep disappearing).
The game is by Rex Crowle, (Creative Director: Tearaway/Tearaway-Unfolded, Art & Design: LittleBigPlanet) and by Moo You (Gameplay Programmer: Ratchet & Clank and LittleBigPlanet). Audio design by Kenny Young (Audio Lead: Tearaway & LittleBigPlanet) and with a musical score by Daniel Pemberton (Composer: The Man From Uncle, Steve Jobs, King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword)
Things to Do
- Best friends forever! Play single-player with an AI companion, couch co-op or online co-op.
- Solve puzzles and deal with enemies using your improvised abilities! These include: frisbees, water-balloons, puddle-stomping welly boots, and a powerful boom-box stereo.
- Work together! Both characters have different skills so you'll want to experiment with how they combine in order to succeed.
- Explore the island! Seek out its modern tourist-attractions and ancient ruins, both on foot and on your customised bikes.
- Discover treasure! Ranging from trinkets like broken action-figures and animal skulls, to the legendary riches rumoured to be hidden on the island.
- Upgrade your bikes! Barter with adults (offload your junk) so you can personalise your bikes, unlock extra abilities or at the very least: get those training-wheels removed!
- Tend to your pet goose! Captain Honkers has a keen nose-beak and can help you find what you need, if you keep him fed and happy.
