Sipho is a pretty spooky game as is and boss fights make it even scarier. From weaksauce first boss, which looks daunting at first, but falls easily, to nerve-wracking (sorry!) stronger, gimmicky bosses - we are looking for your ideas to implement. We had suggestions for boss fights in the past and this is a great time to officially add them to the game and reward idea authors! Boss fights are all about an isolated challenge and means to overcome it - boss arenas are separate levels which can have various gimmicks which help defeating larger and superior boss Siphos. With that in mind - get creative in Aquarium or just open up MS Paint, sketch your crazy idea for boss layout, arena and tell us how the fight is supposed to go. There can also be various unususal objects in the boss lair that affect the fight - maybe there are unstable currents moving everything around or breakable rocks that allow player getting in better position to strike the boss. Creative freedom is yours! After your are ready to share the idea, post it in our Discord or on Steam's Artwork page. Most unique and technically achievable ideas will be remade in the game! You don't have to be a professional designer to participate in this event. A basic doodle on a napkin and a description of a fight are enough for us to make it into a proper game asset. Anyone can participate. Although if you haven't played Sipho before, be sure to check videos or screenshots to get familiar with its world and creatures.
Basic guidelines:
- A picture or a sketch of the boss Sipho and its minions, if present
- A picture or a sketch of the arena with starting player and boss positions marked
- Let us know how the boss fight goes - what does the boss do, how does the boss and player interact with environment
- If there are special environment features - let us know about them!
- Boss designs and environments should be using existing Sipho assets. Slight variations of these assets - size, colour, mashups of several assets are allowed. Minor unique features like particle effects and sounds are also allowed
- More unique and technically achievable fights will be better judged. For example we can't technically achieve a multiplayer boss fight. Cleverly using existing game mechanics are much more welcome
- Post it on Sipho's Artwork section. If you can't post it there, leave a comment with a link here or post it on our Discord
Have fun!
Our team will pick one or more winning designs right after the end of this event. Winners will be awarded with Sipho Steam keys and their name in the credits. The event ends at November 10th, 00:00 UTC

- Sipho Linux [211.44 M]
Sipho is a game that combines eerie real life underwater creatures, insects, body parts with building, combat and exploration. Create your own creature by combining various parts, called zooids. Each zooid specializes in some sort of function– some zooids eat food, others are responsible for movement, attacking other creatures or providing structural support. Most zooids have active and passive abilities. All of the zooids combine into a single creature, Sipho, whose main goal is to climb to the top of the food chain, by using cunning weaponry and various skills.
Collect nutritious food, grow your own creature to become the best of them all. Beware though, there are powerful enemies out there to stop you.
