The lovely folk at Yogscast are celebrating games made by tiny teams this week (and teams don't get much tinier than ours) and we're so excited to have Knights And Bikes, our co-op cycling adventure, as part of their festival!
Apart from a 25% off discount during the event, we've also updated the build with a few fixes for players that are playing through the story in co-op/online.
You can check out everything that's going on in the Tiny Teams festival, and all the other games here:

Happy cycling everyone!

Hey Everyone!
If you've not heard the news, our little solo/co-op adventure picked up the Visual Art award at this years Independent Games Festival (IGF)!!
Because of current events the awards ceremony was completely online, rather than being part of GDC in San Fransisco, but the IGF organisers still put on a fantastic show, which you can watch back here if you missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LU0h2mJEtc
We're all self-isolating at home, just like everyone at our publishers Double Fine, but happily we were all able to join in on a giant video chat together. It was really special to virtually join up and watch the Day Of The Devs preshow together and then the awards themselves. Some good whiskey was consumed.
It wouldn't be an awards speech without some thanks and we really want to thank EVERYONE that's played the game (especially if you left us a review ;)
And we've still got one more big awards show still to come - the BAFTAs on the 2nd April. We've managed to get 4 nominations - Artistic Achievement, Best British Game, Best Debut, Best Family, so all our fingers crossed - which makes typing this hard.
To celebrate this we've discounted the game, so if you know anyone you think would enjoy it please let them know. It's a tough time out there at the moment, so we hope our very heartfelt adventure will spread some joy, and help friends spend some quality time together via its online co-op.
Stay safe and healthy.
Your pals at Foam Sword

While the Game Developers Conference is not happening this week, postponed by Covid-19 health concerns, its two big awards shows went ahead on livestream. The vile waterfowl of Untitled Goose Game ran off with the coveted Game Of The Year Award at the Game Developers Choice Awards (more on that later), and the chill A Short Hike scooped the Grand Prize at the Independent Games Festival Awards. A Short Hike and fellow winner Mutazione are both free for keepsies on another few hours too. If you enjoy having your preferences validated by awards from distinguished-sounding bodies, read on!

“Is it friendship? Or is it something more?” goes a common sentiment, particularly on days like today, when we celebrate the anniversary of Captain Cook getting stabbed to death. Well, that’s a stupid question, because there is nothing more than friendship.
Games are, for once, not much worse than other media at depicting and exploring themes of friendship. In fact, some of the best stories about it are in games. But since society is still too backwards to give those relationships their own day, I’m hijacking this tiresome profit-motivated holiday in their name.
What are my favourite games about friendship then? Well, they’re below, obviously.

Hello Friends!
It's that time of the year again, the Steam awards are happening super soon. Do you think Knights And Bikes should be up for an award? It's in your hands if you do!
There's a whole bunch of different categories, although "Better With Friends" was one that caught our eye! So you can just click that button above if you enjoyed it with a pal, or you can dive in and see what other categories there are to pick from.
Obviously Nessa, Demelza and Captain Honkers would all go bananas if we earned a nomination. But more than that, a Steam nomination could really put Penfurzy Island on the map! And the more explorers that find our game, the more it helps us make other heartfelt characterful games like Knights And Bikes.
Anyway, thanks for reading and for playing Knights And Bikes. Every review and piece of feedback means so much to us <3
Penfurzy Rebel Bicycle Club forever!

You can’t sprint in Knights And Bikes without making a noise. Demelza and Nessa, the two player characters in Foam Sword’s optionally co-operative adventure, insist on it. Demelza goes all in with dopplering ‘vrmmmms’ and ‘nyeeoows’, while Nessa, older but no less playful, exaggerates the swoosh of the wind. The kids swoop about Demelza’s island home, between caravan parks and scrapyards and the struggles of a bereaved family dependent on tourists that haven’t come.
It’s an action adventure game about a child coming to terms with her mother’s death, but it’s also about friendship, an ancient curse, and a very good goose.

Delightful friendship-’em-up Knights And Bikes has been blessed by the television gods, as Tiger Aspect Productions have picked up the rights to develop an animated series based on its unsupervised 80s childhood adventures.
Tiger Aspect are a pretty huge production company, and listing their programmes would take a while. Most notably, they’ve adapted both Aliens Love Underpants and Charlie And Lola, the latter making an excellent comparison to Knights And Bikes’s boisterous and cute personality (side note: read the Clarice Bean books, you cowards), and I’m super excited to see how this turns out. It’ll be aimed at 6-12 year olds, but I’ll be surprised if its appeal doesn’t reach beyond that.

An animated show has been announced by Tiger Aspect Productions, based off of the Knights and Bikes game and spin-off book series. (Yes, it's already a book series!)
If you've not played the game, which launched last month for PC and PlayStation 4, it's an arty mix of The Goonies and some light role-playing from the brains behind Tearaway. It's a clear fit for a cartoon:

Double Fine Presents, the indie publishing label from Psychonauts developer Double Fine, may not be long for this world, following the company's acquisition by Microsoft earlier this year.
Since its inception in 2014, Double Fine Presents has assisted smaller indie developers in releasing a wide array of quirky titles, including provocative interactive animation Kids, reality sim Everything, ambient oddity Mountain, and the recent, critically acclaimed action-adventure Knights and Bikes from the creative director of Tearaway. And while there's still Samurai Gunn 2 to come, Double Fine Presents' future is uncertain beyond that point.
Speaking to Destructoid, Double Fine head honcho Tim Schafer explained that operating a publishing arm while under the wing of another publisher is a "complicated issue", and admitted that it's one that "doesn't make sense" if potential release platforms for new indie titles would be limited as a result of Microsoft's acquisition.

Indies, eh? They’re not just developers these days. Since 2014, Double Fine have published a wildly diverse range of indies under the Double Fine Presents label. Their latest, charming Cornish adventure Knights And Bikes definitely has that recognisably Double Fine quirkiness, but they’ve also pushed some properly weird little curiosities like Kids and Mountain.
But Double Fine are with the big dogs now. The next thing Double Fine Presents present could well be their own winding down.

Somehow, bank holidays always sneak up on me. You’d think after years of working for councils and universities I’d have figured them out by now, but nope. I remain completely flummoxed by the concept of time this week. What year is it? What are mornings? Why is everything in Britain still open exclusively when you can’t bloody get to it?
Games, of course, do not recognise holidays. The tubes emit games, so many games, whether we’re here or not. It is time then, to wade through the stream, and pick out the very best under-covered new games on Steam. It’s Unknown Pleasures.
Upending chronology this week: ocean fights, penal flights, and Cornish knights.

The gorgeous Knights And Bikes launched today, inviting us to join the adorable adventures of two kids (with cooperative multiplayer) in a Cornish caravan park in the 1980s. Ride bikes! Play frisbee! Splash in puddles! Befriend a goose! Hunt for treasure! Battle baddies! Try not to get evicted! I feel like I’ve been watching this game for positively yonks, yet today’s launch was somehow a big surprise to me. How splendid. Now come watch the great launch trailer, which I must say has quite a catchy song.
