Its live! Go check out Awaysis! 🤩

A physics-based dungeon brawler with momentum based combat and 1-4 player co-op? It's true!

From the fine folks at @17-bit.bsky.social , AWAYSIS slides onto your screens in 2026. It also features a soundtrack by the legendary Hip Tanaka (Metroid, EarthBound).

Thanks to the folks over at @sifterhq.bsky.social for taking the time to speak with us at TGS this year. We have spent the last few years making a tight, reactive, physics game that is unlike anything else you have played. We can't wait to get it into your hands.

We agree! AWAYSIS was largely inspired by 4 Swords!! It’s too fun!

Honored, and ready to show you all what we have been cooking over here 🧑‍🍳

One of our level designers Andy is just dreaming of a magical sunset. 

*17-BIT does occasionally allow our employees to see the sunrise, sunset, and encourages long walks along the beach for optimal viewing angles.

Haha amazing - best game show ever

These little insights into game dev as the team works, has been a constant in my life here in Kyoto and a persistent reminder that video games are good, and when you have a team of brilliant people, you can make magic happen.

The build only shits the bed every other Tuesday! Thanks for the kind words! See you at tacos soon!!

I think that long sigh sums up #indiedev in a definitive moment. Playtesting is fun, right folks?

You may have spotted this fiery fella in our last trailer. Matsuura-san immediately understood what we were trying to create with #AWAYSIS, and each art delivery was bursting with personality.

‘The original Game Boy sounds the best’: A very nerdy conversation with legendary Nintendo composer Hip Tanaka | VGC The father of chiptune music discusses the past, and his long-awaited return to games…

The folks over at @videogameschronicle.com dropped a huge interview with Hip Tanaka, going over some of his legendary music that helped shape the industry.

We cannot overstate what a honor it is to work with such a legend on #AWAYSIS. We can't wait for you to hear the soundtrack.

Sometimes #AWAYSIS art reviews can get a little… weird 🤷

Sometimes we ask @jkooza.bsky.social & @allymobbs.bsky.social to do level testing. Somehow they always get stuck fighting ⚔️

I'm convinced dungeon crawlers have always needed skiing physics after Awaysis' newest trailer Somewhere between classic Zelda and Human Fall Flat, you'll find self-billed "dungeon brawler" Awaysis.

Great mention from @pcgamer.com

"I was impressed when I saw Awaysis' physics-based slide jumps and enemy-propelling magic projectiles, but I was elated when I saw one player seemingly brush their co-op partner off a ledge and into an endless abyss by accident."

We call it co-opertition. #indiedev
