On behalf of Brazil Games — an export program created by the Brazilian Game Companies Association, ABRAGAMES, in partnership with Apex-Brasil, the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency — we would like to share an incredible success story from one of Brazil’s most exciting studios — Double Dash Studios. Recently, the independent team launched their multi-award winning shmup-brick-breaker Sky Racket on Nintendo Switch. With the launch of their first title, we would like to provide you with the opportunity to speak with the Double Dash Studios team and to offer you the opportunity to review Sky Racket.
Double Dash Studios comes to the table following a fascinating journey:
- The studio began as four friends with a shared interest in game design as a career goal. As their university did not have a game design program, they formed their own work-study group to learn the tools they would need to make their dreams come true. Fast-forward 10 years and the studio is now nine members strong and growing.
- Double Dash has been nominated for and won more than a dozen awards, including first place at the Indies Vs Gamers Game Jam — which helped propel the team towards their success as a development studio.
- Their inaugural game, Sky Racket, is the first-ever mash-up of the shmup and brick breaker genres and its Switch launch was featured during the Nintendo Indie World Showcase. Tennis, shmup and brick-breaking? Yes, you heard that right!
