Smith and Winston

About

Two agents crash-land on a fractured ring world after a navigation mishap goes wrong. Smith and Winston is a chaotic twin-stick shooter where you and a friend team up to blast through alien enemies and collect power cubes scattered across bizarre, hand-crafted levels. Each area pulses with destructible environments and unpredictable hazards as you work to repair your damaged ship and escape the planet’s orbit. The game shines with its co-op focus and zany sci-fi humor. Players can tackle co-op or solo campaigns, with local and online options for both. The custom engine emphasizes fast-paced combat and creative level design, earning it a dedicated following among indie shooter fans. Available on PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, and Switch since 2019, it’s a fast, frantic ride with plenty of replay value.

Storyline

When a strange signal is detected in deep space the Federation orders Smith and Winston to go and investigate. What they find, after a brief nap, is a shattered ring world, aliens and an evil overlord called the VOID. After crashing in to the ring world, due to a slight navigation error involving hitting an asteroid, you guide Smith and Winston through this strange new world. Shippy, your ship, is there to help or maybe she’s there to kill you? Who knows? Either way, if you’re going to get home for another nap you’ll need to collect power cubes to repair Shippy!
