Update #9 - Save the Day
Weve turned on save games for coop. So now you can officially continue a coop game youve been playing with your buddy.
If one of the coop player runs out of lives they will be given a free life with a full shield if you can get to the next level. Were prototyping an in-level recovery mechanism where a pick up can recover the lost player. Were not sure if the pickup should come from killing, destruction or just add it to the extra life pickup. Any ideas?
We think this is a big one. In buddy mode player 2 can never be killed and if they fall off of the level they get respawned. We wanted a way to play Smith and Winston with our young kids. Hopefully youll find it useful. Its part of our design mantra of always making the player feel powerful. There are some really interesting tactics that you can use in buddy mode with your kids or less-gamer-like friends and its fun and thats all that really matters in life.
You can turn on a little icon that appears when your coop partner goes offscreen. Yeah the levels can get quite confusing after blowing them to pieces and spinning around for a few minutes :)
Weve updated all the German, French and Spanish strings in the game with google-translated strings that match the English. They got out of sync with the EGX Rezzed build. Sorry.
We tried to be clever and add a dynamic debris load balancing system and it didnt work. The code tried to monitor how long the CPU took to calculate all the debris physics and adjust the amount of debris on screen in a super clever way. Well it turns out it was bloody rubbish! So now there is a slider in options > game that you can slide up or down to increase and decrease the amound of debris. Its stupid, but it works.
Weve added some more sarcastic shippy comments through out the levels because shes funny and we like adding sarcastic messages when we get a few minutes. Have fun exploring and destroying.

Oh coop partner, wherefore art thou!

No more clever, adjust the slider

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.MINIMAL SETUP
