Smith and Winston (tuxdb.com)

You can get the first-access version of Smith and Winston on itchio here. Once the game is on Steam you'll be able to ask for a key. We're working hard on the next release for Smith and Winston. With the initial release we promised an "Update #1" on November the 2nd and we're on track to deliver. The next release includes levels called Swamp of the Reanimated, Deep, Bunker Boss and Candy. Hardcore gamers amongst you may be able to tell one of those levels is a boss level!

As well as working toward Update #1 we're also looking far forward to Update #4 which will include Coop game play.
Coop is already great fun just because you can throw a grenade and destroy the floor your partner is standing on, watch them fall to their doom and the proclaim it was an accident! Coop includes a special buddy mode.In buddy mode player 2 can't die from being shot. So you can hand the second half broken, sticky, mutant controller to your kid or younger brother and play the game with them. It's great fun and what gaming is all about as far as we're concerned. Of course you can still accidentally destroy the floor out from beneath them... for science or brotherly love :) It should also be obvious that there are a lot of parents that will be playing as buddy to their far more capable child! As well as adding these new levels for everyone to play we've fixed a number of bugs. Thanks to everyone who reported bugs via email, twitter, itch.io, reddit and to our faces in meat space. Here are a few other little feature requests that will be in this update:

Change weapon with the mouse wheel
Reset controller settings and keyboard settings to default
Pause menu has an option to return to game (you don't have to press escape or 'start' again)
Grave markers no longer pop up some text or appear floating in the middle of nowhere if you die by falling off the world
Cleaner font for the menus
Better glyphs for the controller icons (X, Square etc)
Option to turn off or lower the volume of shippy, poor shippy, so annoying.
High score table!
LAVA, well there is a level with lava, every game needs a lava level.

Thanks for reading, thanks for playing and remember to buy now because the price is gonna go up to $7.99 once Update #1 is out! have a great week dazza

Smith and Winston is a Metroidvania style exploration twin stick shooter.

Taking on the role of Smith or Winston, two hapless mercenaries, you explore a newly discovered shattered ring world and uncover the secrets of the natives and the impending doom of the star system. Only you can save the system from the evil that awaits... or not.

Hand built

The world needs more hand crafted games. We love procedurally generated games but there is nothing like a level designed by a human for a human.

Exploration

There are many strange places to explore in Smith and Winston along with secrets and puzzles to discover and items to collect. You'll need a sharp eye to spot some of them and a bit of dexterity to reach others. But there's plenty to discover.

Challenging twin stick combat

There's no health bars and with limited lives dodging is as important as shooting. Don't worry we've given you the tools to survive. From guns and power ups, grenades and missile launchers, to being able to sculpt the terrain to your advantage. How you defeat enemies is up to you.

Free Flowing Movement

Smith and Winston come with some cool toys, a jump pack boost for going up and a dash for going fast. Great for dodging bullets but even better for reaching new areas. Combine these for bigger and further jumps. Dash, boost, dash can get you a long way but a clever use of the terrain and our in game physics can get you higher and further.

Voxels

We love 'em. In a voxel world the player can destroy nearly everything and you have the equipment to do just that. From mining lasers to dig out secrets to grenades that blast holes in everything. Use these tactically or just to make a hole and laugh as you adversary falls helplessly to their doom.

Camera

Smith and Winston is a full 3D game and to take advantage of that we added in a few things. A rotatable 360° camera lets you see what you want and 3 angles of tilt, fancy a more cinematic perspective, just drop the camera angle.

Collectibles

Collect and swap your heads there a lot to find and finding them all won’t be easy and with our Steam release we'll be adding Steam achievements and cards too.
