Plushie Panic

A messy room, a toy box and a very physical clean-up job.

Knock out the toys that get in your way, grab them with both hands and carry them to the toy box. Built with two other developers, Plushie Panic began as a multiplayer brawler called Toy Rumble before becoming a single-player demo of its physics-driven combat.

From Toy Rumble to demo

The prototype uses the Physicanim active-ragdoll system to make its characters feel more dynamic and responsive. The multiplayer project was paused while the single-player demo was developed to share the concept and its progress.

Released

Kendo Duel

The first game released under the Tilde Asterisk name.

Built with Unity and C#, Kendo Duel brought physics-led sword fights to mobile. Its wobbly, unpredictable character movement made every duel a little different—and often a little funny.
