2Awesome Studio

2Awesome Studio is an independent game development studio and boutique indie publisher founded in 2014 by David Jiménez and Alejandro Santiago. Based around original interactive entertainment, the company develops proprietary games while also providing console porting, multiplatform engineering and release support for independent developers.

Its original projects span fast-paced 2D action, pixel-art presentation, platforming, roguelites and shoot ’em ups. The studio’s early release Dimension Drive introduced a dual-battlefield split-screen mechanic, while later internal productions include the cyberpunk speedrun platformer Aeon Drive and the top-down roguelite shooter AK-xolotl. Its current flagship project, Altered Alma, is a cyberpunk space-opera Metroidvania and action-RPG set in Neo Barcelona with dating-sim elements.
