Schwing is a prototype game developed by Fishlicka, released on itch.io for free on September 12, 2018. Designed as a test for ragdoll physics, it is a predecessor to Juice Galaxy as confirmed by Fishlicka's Instagram account bio.[1]
Summary[]
It is a prototype for a very simple yet enjoyable set of physics-based game mechanics.
Connections[]
- Contains ragdoll physics and pixelated graphic visuals.
- Entities who later returned in Juice Galaxy* include:
- The player protagonist (although very different comparing to the one from Juice Galaxy other than textured with purple colors, modelwise) carries a Baseball Bat as the only equipped weapon throughout the game.
- Entities make noises when talking, accompanied with dialogue boxes at the top of the screen.
- *Pollywogs returned as enemies, but the Thighteratops and Robot (currently) only appear as Fog Giants.
Trivia[]
- Seen from the game's progress video, the Morningstar weapon was meant to be used for the prototype but ended up removed from the game's release and later recycled for Juice Galaxy.
- When it was first launched, the game was less colorful and the intro's audio volume was louder. This was changed on October 27, 2019, a year after the game's first release and in the game's as of now final update.
- The mouse cursor was featured but got removed for the same update.
- Fishlicka confirmed that the Thighteratops will return in Juice Galaxy during a Discord conversation on May 25, 2020.
