Cygnus Works

Playable now

• Thanatide

  Demo playable

  A top-down wave shooter where the loot rolls its own numbers. Hold a floor of a dead arcology, strip what the bodies were carrying, and go back down with a better gun. Six frames that play very differently, a 20-mission campaign, and four-player co-op in the full version.

  Play the demo Thanatide site

  Runs in a browser. Nothing to install and no account. Co-op is out of the demo, everything else is in.

In development

Built, and not out yet. Each one has its own site with the detail.

• Meridian Void

  Closed alpha, paused

  A top-down space MMO. Ships get built out of hulls, weapon mods, sockets and stars, so no two loadouts match. The galaxy is procedurally named, and the threat level climbs the further a ship pushes from the core. Three rival factions carry a branching story, and the galaxy remembers which side got picked.

  Meridian Void Read the notice

  A fire at the studio stopped work on this one. The alpha servers are hosted elsewhere and are still running. The full statement is on the game site.

• Elephant Pop

  Not released

  Tap an elephant to inflate it. Keep tapping and it bursts. Popping fast builds a combo, the coins go on upgrades, and the levels get progressively stupider.

  Android. Built, and waiting on a Google Play listing. Site

• The Shell

  Ten built

  Ten puzzle and card games for Android, with rules most people already know. Every one carries a daily puzzle, and it is the same puzzle for everybody who plays that day. No banner ads, no account, and they run offline.
