Flamebait Games is an independent game-development studio founded by five university students in late 2016, with the primary goal of delivering strange games to the masses. Our first attempt at fulfilling this objective is called Passpartout: The Starving Artist, which was released in the summer of 2017. In early 2018, the team was expanded to six humans and later that year released Verlet Swing. We are currently focused on developing Forge and Fight with a planned release in 2020.

Heya Blacksmiths! Hope you all are hyped for the Early Access launch tomorrow! In the meanwhile allow us to showcase our probably most diverse item yet!

WeaponSpotlightSwissArmyKnife

The Swiss Army Knife is a finely engineered makeshift multi-weapon well suited to fit your many needs. It could be used to cut a nice slice of pizza while at the same time toasting & slicing bread, or herd cattle. It’s a compact design, however, may mean that you occasionally accidentally toast your cattle or zap your pizza. But according to the Terms of Use, that's a user error and we can in no way be held accountable.

When hitting enemies with the Swiss Army Knife it’ll inflict a random effect, meaning that you’ll either make them burn, shocked, bleed, poisoned, or frosty. It’s the weapon equivalent of an effect-casino! In itself, it boasts with decent damage and is a great way to make your weapon inflict many different effects with only a single part.

It may be small, but it packs a punch! Or should we say a ton of very small but intense punches? It’s the rifle equivalent of falling into a shoal of piranhas. Meet the Minigun!

WeaponSpotlightImageMinigun

Defendr bring you their latest Minigun design. It’s the smallest on the market yet as effective as any predecessor. A true revolution to the revolving auto-rifle.

The Minigun rapidly fires bullets and is able to shred enemies from a distance. Though it does have some drawbacks as you’re immobile while firing and have to deal with its recoil. Stacking multiple Miniguns with some Fire Speed enhancing Machetes is both fun and effective, but beware that the recoil gets more intense for each Minigun in play.

This one is for all the speedsters out there!

WeaponSpotlightImageShishpar

Handcrafted by the Damascus family, the Shishpar is infused with the spirit of their ancestors. The legend says that swift warriors wielding this weapon gain unnatural strength.

The Shishpar offers a good punch in itself but has the awesome ability to make Run Speed also boost damage. So, the faster you are, the more damage your hits will do. It’s combined to great effect with the various Run Speed increasing items in the Damascus arsenal!

Time to give the spotlight to an infamous classic! Meet the Brick.

WeaponSpotlightImageBrick

During the battle of Bonk Town the Billabonk fighters ran low on weapons. King Ugg looked at the rubble of the former city and cried “Take brick. Make hurt!”. What once was a move of desperation to arm his fighters led to the discovery of one of the best hurt-makers of all time. The Brick has since become a symbol of the Billabonk way of dealing with problems.

The Brick offers the highest damage but makes you swing slightly slower. Simple, yet effective.

Are you ready for a lifesaver? Meet the Guardian Angel!

WeaponSpotlightImageGuardianAngl

Defendr Inc. brings you the lifeline: “Guardian Angel”. Using revolutionary revival technology this device is a literal lifesaver. The patented bastnäsite mineral formula has the ability to revive fallen gladiators immediately on the battlefield. Due to the rarity of the mineral, the Guardian Angel is hard to find in the arena.

The ability to come back after being eliminated makes this a good choice for almost any playstyle. Once revived you can either exact revenge on the player that eliminated you or run for cover to regenerate your strength.

Hello Blacksmiths! Today we got some shockingly bad puns as we display this electrifying content. You won’t be able to Ωresist picking this part!

WeaponSpotlightImageTeslaZapper

Zap! brings you the Tesla Zapper. It’s powered by a bunch of AA batteries funnelled through an axiom converter field with reversed polarity spheres. This bad boy can deliver 200 GigaVolt of shockingly terrifying power straight to your enemies.

The Tesla Zapper is a short-ranged part that fires lightning at the enemy. It does fantastic work in crowded areas when combined with the Zap! set bonus that allows your lightning to bounce to nearby enemies.

​Hello Blacksmiths! This time it’s getting hot in here as we’re taking a look at the Burning Birdcage!

Hot Rod hastily put the Burning Birdcage together during the Hullabaloo Superspeedway Truck-Truck Cup. It was built to grill hot dogs. The gasoline-soaked coal would turn a hot dog into a blackened abomination within seconds. Some say that this invention was the cause of the great Hullabaloo fire tragedy that mysteriously occurred at the same time. Hot Rod denies any involvement.

By equipping the Burning Birdcage all damage you deal will also set stuff on fire! It can be used to great effect together with a long-ranged rifle to make your bullets leave a fiery sting with a spicy aftertaste.
