SEATTLE, WA - May 4, 2020 - The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild announces collaboration with
Studio Aesthesia to publish 'Breakpoint,' a stylized twin-stick arcade game, to Nintendo
Switch and PC. Defeat waves of enemies with melee weapons that EXPLODE after reaching their
breaking point, dealing devastating damage across the blast zone.
The team at Studio Asethesia says, "We really wanted to capture the purity of retro arcade
games, but mixed in with a few modern sensibilities. The melee weapons force you to weave
through enemies and get up close and personal, while the weapon explosion system allows you
to turn a tense situation into a huge comeback, leading to some really exhilarating
moments."
'Breakpoint' is inspired by early 2000s arcade titles like 'Geometry Wars,' where action
and mayhem go hand in hand. Grab hold of a hammer, double-sided ax - even a katana! -
and other weapons to conquer waves of enemies.
What makes 'Breakpoint' unique?
- Unlike traditional twin-stick titles, 'Breakpoint' uses melee combat
- Destroying enemies gains XP for the weapon, not the player
- Many layers of discovery, including evolution trees for each weapon
- Maxed out weapons become powerful AOE attack opportunities
Take your first swing in this unapologetically nostalgic title for Nintendo Switch and
PC in 2020

About Studio Aesthesia:
Studio Aesthesia is a small independent company comprised of two members: Edward Lu and
Nick Amlag. The two met at a game development collaboration space hosted by the Seattle
Indies and began working together shortly after. They've been raising a ruckus ever since.
About The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild:
The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild was founded in 2011 and received global critical
acclaim for their early titles, 'The Bridge' and 'Tumblestone.' In 2019, the company
broadened its focus to collaborating with indie developers publishing on PC and consoles.
Given Quantum's experience as an indie dev, they strive never to offer deals they wouldn't
accept themselves before becoming a publisher. The studio recently published 'Roundguard,'
making it the fifth game in their library. You can look forward to award-winning games
'Sail Forth,' and 'Deleveled' among the many games releasing from Quantum this year.
