Super Sportmatchen

2018-05-25

Yaaaaaaay! Super Sportmatchen is now available for purchase on Nintendo Switch and Steam!

2018-05-17

Super Sportmatchen will be released on the 24th of May, on Nintendo Switch and Steam!

The European release for Nintendo Switch is injured and limping a bit but will reach the finish line on the 1st of June!

Wooooooooooooow!

Please make sure to stretch thoroughly to prevent unfortunate muscle strains!

Over the weekend we've been able to showcase the game at BitSummit in Kyoto, Japan. We haven't been able to attend ourselves but Dangen has been doing a swell job at showing the game to the hungry crowds!

A lot of buttons were pressed, animals and referees fed, slam dunks dunked and overall it was a crazy action packed weekend of sweat and muscle soreness!

The most awesome thing for us personally was to see two legends together, united in sports! I'm of course talking about the extreeeme Mr Tak Fujii and his buddy Mr Shuhei Yoshida!

Isn't that just super sweet!? <3

A bunch of cool stuff!

We can finally announce that we have partnered with the Japanese based indie publisher DANGEN Entertainment! This means some great news, first of all it means that we will launch the game for both Nintendo Switch and Steam! Exact release date is still being discussed, we have some final work to finish before we're ready to send it off but it feels so good to be able to release it on the Switch!

Having grown up on the bits and bytes of the NES and SNES (which I guess kinda shows through in our game), being able to release on a Nintendo platform feels unreal! We've had the development kit for some time and it has been a blast to let people playtest on the Switch, I think the Joy-Con controllers are very well suited for Super Sportmatchen!

Second of all it means that, for some magical reason that only the sports gods knows, we've been able to get a collaboration with the awesome and extreeeme Tak Fujii! WOOOOOOOOOW! This means that Fujii-san will be a sprite in the game, acting as the sport host presenting each sport and organizing the awards ceremony. It also means that we've received some extreeeme voice recordings that are used throughout the game, to make it more rock n roll! FLAWLESS!

Stay active, looking forward to get back with more news!

Christmas time is sporting time?

Imagine christmas as a time for sports. Imagine every family across the world, gathering around the video screen with their sweatbands on, to sport a ton.

One year from now, your imagination will come true. Sportmatchen will have been released to the world! The year of 2018 will plot the course for every christmas yet to come.

A new sporty tradition for everyone!

Until then, Kaj Forell Video Game Brand wishes you a merry time and a happy new year of sports!

MERRY SPORTSMAS!

Oh hi! I didn't see you there while I was working on expanding and retracting my glutus maximus!

So, we've entered a new year and for all intents and purposes, we shall let this be the true year of sports! Last year was great, we managed to get a lot of sportin' done and today we've got some big news to share:

Our 10th and final sport is completed!

That's right! All of our planned sports have made it into the game! Wow! If you don't believe us, you can take a look at our sports page to check 'em all out!

It is with great pride and honor we present to you, sport #10!

Wall Climb requires an insane amount of finger dexterity and eye-hand coordination as it sends you to the top of the highest point in the arena! Don't look down and make sure not to lose your grip while avoiding falling eggplants and heavy winds!

We've still got lots to do though, a bunch of polish and tweaks as well as some additional graphics, music and minor features.

We've got big plans for the game so please check back soon for more awesome news!

Greetings to you, partners in sport!

We're back from the jogging tracks and we'd like to humbly offer you some news! More specifically, a new piece of sport!

River Dodge will send you on a trip down a reckless river where you'll have to maintain a razor sharp focus while dodging a mix of incoming logs, rocks, party crayfish and more!

We still have one more sport up our sleeves before we start on the home stretch with final polish and such. We've also made some cool additions that we haven't talked about yet.

What I'm trying to say is that there's still a lot more to come, stay tuna!

For now, the team here at Kaj Forell Video Game Brand wishes you a very merry winter break and a refreshing new year!

Alright! The summer has ended and we're back in the gym, chugging Red Bulls and pumping iron. Metaphorically of course!

We've got some great stuff coming your way and our goal is to have it all wrapped up before the end of the year. Exciting!

Since our latest update, we've been busy working on what is our 8th (!) sport!

Animal Feed lets you frantically feed a selection of the animals found in the game, from flying seagulls to curious moles. Feed as many animals as possible to build up your multiplier and gain the highest score!

For our next 100m sprint, we'll get going with a new sport which will either take place on water or somewhere at a higher altitude.

Until next time, take care & sport fair!

Seeing as the year 2016 seems to be killing off one celebrity after another, you might have been thinking that we've also been caught in the grim reaper's grip? Fear not, for we are still alive and sportin' over here!

Today we have a new sport to show off and it is a very special one. The first one in the history of Sportmatchen to feature full semi-3D depth effects! The visual impact is stunning, giving the game an all new look and feel. You can almost sense the wind blowing in your hair while playing!

Without further ado, the latest sport addition is:

Capy Throw is all about power, endurance and maintaining your composure. You'll have to work hard to spin your sporter as fast as possible to gain momentum before releasing at precisely the right moment to send your cuddly capybara flying as long as possible. Make sure to give it a safe landing!

Yeah! How about that? Feels great. Make sure to take care of your cuddly capybaras once you've sent them flying across the field, they prefer a smooth landing!

On another note, there have been quite a few things going on behind the scenes during the spring which we'll report about in a while. In the coming summer weeks, we will take some time off and hit the gym and work on our tans. Maybe share a mojito or two on the beach! Cheers!

Hello friends of sport! Seems like we all made it through into the new year, nice!

We're back in the (metaphorical) gym after a really sweet and relaxing winter vacation. Pre-Christmas we started work on our newest sport and today we're here to announce its completion.

Behold!

Hoops is a frantic all-against-all battle, where you'll need to master both timing and agility. Push and stomp your opponents to steal the ball, go for heart-stopping three-pointers or dribble your way to the basket and watch the other players cry in agony. And if your opponents are being cocky, shatter their self-esteem with a sizzling slam dunk!

A fun thing about Hoops is that it contains a lot of extra stuff, such as a seemingly pissed vulture who acts as the match coordinator, and a really exciting halftime show featuring Mr.P and two cheerleading stoats!

Wow, that is surely setup for success. So what to do now? Go pump some iron? Run a marathon? Hell no! We'll go sit down in front of our computers and start working on the next sport of course!

Rumor has it it's going to be very cute... *hint hint*

2015-11-19

Woho! A new month and a new sport! Today we want to introduce you to our latest sports addition!

Hopp-Boll continues the tradition of having players trying to get from left to right in the shortest amount of time. However, focus is on timing! Charge the perfect jump to land on the trampolines and not in the sand hazards.

2015-10-08

Hello there! Today we are very happy to announce no less than three new sports that have made it into our fine collection!

250m Plint-Sprint is the Super Sportmatchen version of hurdles. You'll have to master running while also perfectly timing your jumps in order to gain maximum speed.

Pillow Push is a classic one on one setup where the goal is to either push your opponent over the edge or claim the center as yours. Or taunt your opponent into humiliation.

Boll Toss is a new family favorite, allowing both youngsters and the elderly to participate in an equal parts relaxed and frantic battle for the perfect toss. Watch out for falling objects.
