Press release:
Stockholm, Sweden June 28th.
The Stockholm-based (Sweden) indie games publisher Aurora Punks today announced they have entered into a publishing collaboration with the London-based (the UK) video games publisher Curve Games for two titles in the Aurora Punks portfolio – “Block’Em!” and “Chenso Club“.
Aurora Punks is an indie game developer collective residing in Sweden, home to various developers and game creatives from all over the world under one umbrella. The two studios in question are Cat Shawl Games (developers of Block’Em!) and Pixadome (developers of Chenso Club)
“Curve Games transparent communication and explicit developer-first approach combined with a great understanding of the indie games publishing business is very appealing for any developer, including us. We’re looking forward to seeing what our joint effort will do for these two games. – The games that Curve Games already have in their catalogue confirmed that they understand what Chenso Club and Block‘Em are all about.” – says Robert Bäckström, CEO at Aurora Punks.
Chenso Club combines über-cuteness and über-gore in a frenetic arcade-style, side-scrolling brawler with five female protagonists, each with different skill sets and play style. Link to Steam
Block’Em delivers an addictive, fast-paced and adorable platforming party game to be enjoyed by 1-4 players where cunning moves to outsmart your opponents for the win is easier said than done. Link to Steam
Both Chenso Club and Block’Em! will be released later this year.
About Block’Em!:
Block’Em! is an action-filled block-building party game for 2 to 4 players! The controls are simple but the road to victory is complex. Be the first to reach the goal or be the last Blocky standing! Block’Em! mixes platforming and puzzles in the most exciting way.
About Chenso Club:
The alien invaders are everywhere, attacking everything and everyone! And when they die, the life-force they leave behind is an ultra-incredible energy source! Is there any hope?
Meet the Chenso Club: a growing group of fighters here to save the world. They’re using the aliens’ life-force to power up and beat them at their own game. Don’t let their adorable nature fool you – they will happily and brutally obliterate any threat that gets in their way.
Our heroines want any excuse to use their newfound powers. It’s up to you to master their moves, increase their power and show the world the might of the Chenso Club.
