Shwip

Shwip is a twin-stick action game where you evade geometric enemies and fight back with weapons and abilities, including the whip. It has three single-player modes and local multiplayer, including the competitive ShwipBall arena. Online leaderboards and global stats track your results, and there are no ship upgrades, keeping the playing field level.

Game modes

Arcade gives you three minutes of increasingly difficult enemy spawns and swarms, with unlimited lives and ammo. It includes all ship weapon types and abilities, and you can post your high scores.

In Style, you complete objectives based on combinations of weapons and abilities to unlock your ship’s turbo mode. Reaching maximum power lets you unleash turbo-powered weapons and abilities. Each time you activate turbo, the difficulty and score multiplier both increase; you have only one life.

In Minefield, you pilot a wounded ship with a damaged weapons system through a desolate environment full of mines. Fly through checkpoints to maintain your ship’s integrity and survive as long as possible.

Weapons and enemies

Shwip features enemies ranging from floaty pawns to pack-hunting units. Its weapons and abilities include cannons, the whip, missiles, mines, boosting, blasting and magnets. Each weapon has an alternate use.

Local multiplayer

You can play locally with friends and family in Arcade, Minefield and ShwipBall. ShwipBall is a competitive, air-hockey-inspired arena where you can team up or play solo, whip the ball into your opponents’ net or ram it with your ship.
