About Super Punk Games
Super Punk Games was an independent British video game development studio based in Nottingham, England. Established in 2014, it combined original game development and publishing with technical support and co-development for other developers and publishers. Its work spanned PC, console and mobile development, with capabilities covering engineering, environment art, physics simulation and multiplayer experiences.
The studio followed a dual-track model: developing its own intellectual property while contributing specialist production and engineering work to external projects. Its collaborations included Dovetail Games, Activision, Hasbro, Payload Studios and Marmalade Game Studio. This combination of original development and contract production connected its internally developed games with a broader range of interactive entertainment projects.
Original games and development work
Its flagship original title, The Last Leviathan, entered Steam Early Access in June 2016. The game combined physics-driven naval construction, sea combat and destruction, allowing players to build ships and test their designs in simulated encounters. It represented the studio's focus on systems-driven gameplay and vehicle mechanics.
The studio also developed Just Deal With It!, released for PlayStation 4 in November 2018 through Sony Interactive Entertainment's PlayLink initiative. The social multiplayer card game used smartphone companion apps, extending the studio's portfolio into accessible party play.
Alongside these original releases, Super Punk Games supplied production and engineering support for Dovetail Games' Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition. Its contribution to Flight School included 3D environment art and engineering support. These projects demonstrate the studio's involvement in both simulation software and social entertainment.
The company applied for voluntary strike-off in February 2024 and was formally dissolved on 21 May 2024, bringing its operations to an end.
More about Super Punk Games
Founders and historical leadership
- Rik Alexander, formerly CEO of Monumental Games, founded the predecessor business AppCrowd in July 2011 and became a director of the separate Super Punk Games operating entity on 10 June 2014.
- Steve Bennett joined the board in December 2014 as Chief Operating Officer and Creative Director. These are historical roles, rather than current appointments at an operating studio.
Industry recognition
The Last Leviathan received nominations at the 2017 Game Connection Development Awards. The supplied research supports nominations for the game, rather than a studio award win.
Subsequent venture
Alexander and Bennett co-founded The Multiplayer Guys in August 2018 to focus on multiplayer services and co-development. The business later became The Multiplayer Group and remained a separate corporate entity.
