Adult Swim Games

Adult Swim Games at a Glance

Adult Swim Games operates out of the United States and has been active from 2004 through 2020. This publisher started in 2005 by partnering with Midway Games to create titles based on their television shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, The Brak Show, and Sealab 2021. Since that initial partnership, they have expanded to publish selected indie games on platforms like Steam. Their catalog on PlayPile contains 59 total entries, with 55 listed as publisher credits and 10 as developer credits. The company shows a clear shift in output volume over time. They released only seven games during the 2000s, which jumps to forty-nine titles in the 2010s before dropping to just one game in the 2020s. This pattern suggests their most productive era was the last decade of their operation. Their portfolio spans multiple platforms, with a heavy emphasis on PC and web browsers. They have released 29 games for Microsoft Windows and 25 for web browsers. Mac users get 15 titles, while Linux receives ten. Console support exists but is smaller, covering PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Android devices. Genre-wise, their work leans heavily toward Indie, Adventure, and Platform games. They also have a significant presence in Arcade and Simulator categories. The quality of their output varies across the catalog. With an average IGDB rating of 70.7 out of 100 based on 27 rated titles, they sit in a middle ground. Four of their games achieved great ratings above 80, while twenty-one fall into the good range between 60 and 79. Two titles received mixed scores, but none dipped into poor territory. Duck Game stands out as their highest-rated release at 84.3 points from 2014. Other strong entries include Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe, Super House of Dead Ninjas, and Soundodger+, all released between 2013 and 2015 with scores ranging from 80 to 81.6. More recent releases show a slight dip in scores compared to their peak. Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time scored 68.7 in 2020, while ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove sat at 63.4 in 2019. Battle Chef Brigade did better with a 77.8 rating in late 2017. Their output has slowed significantly since 2020, leaving their current status somewhat uncertain based on the available data.
