Gutterspace - Demo

Try our Demo!!!

Gutterspace is a hand-drawn, local co-op game where you and a friend share control of a two-headed skeleton named Tittle and Dot. Every jump, every ability, every movement is split between two players. Stay in sync and you’ll move fluidly, even gaining bonuses. Drift apart, and the body 'splodes into bones!

This is a game about Communication, dreams, lost feels, and weirdness. 

The Team
We’re Tom and James Smockborg, a husband-and-husband indie duo from Massachusetts.

• James is a mixed media artist with a background in commissioned work in Seattle. They have a synesthesia gift for translating feeling into hue and texture. Every frame of Gutterspace is hand-drawn by them, carrying that emotional resonance into the game’s world. 
• Tom is the programmer, with two decades of experience. He’s worked at Amazon on the mobile shopping app, released mobile games on iOS, and consulted for companies across the Midwest. 

The world you’re exploring is built from poetry we both wrote. Some of it James wrote as a kid, wrestling with hidden identity, loss, and a sharp self-awareness. Some of it Tom wrote much later, in the long process of healing from war, family rupture, and everything unresolved. Each poem becomes a dreamlike level, and every word turns into a wisp you can collect. 

Made with love and real trauma.
