- Flyleap Studios Wrapping Up - 11 June 2022
Developing games has been full of ups and downs over the long years. Unfortunately in the past few years attempting to push on and work by myself in such a competitive field has generally not been good for me. With the reception of my recently games being unexpectedly poor, the income I have been getting from this line of work has stopped being reliable to pay my bills into the future. As such I have found a new career and decided to stop Flyleap Studios. This will mean that all our games will be taken off sale soon. I apologize to anyone who may feel I have failed them and I extend my warm thanks to anyone has enjoyed my games. I wish you all the best and God bless.

- Deathmatch Re-introduced! - 5 July 2017
With this latest update we're bringing back the much loved deathmatch mode with some new twists! To streamline the action, players are given two random spells which will re-roll as a new random spell every time they are used. Additionally, special passive upgrades like stealth and shields can be collected from the new power-up points placed in the map. We think this should make for some frantic fun without any need to get stuck in complicated menus or too much worrying about getting the most optimal build. Jump in to a quick session of fantasy battle chaos and tell us what you think of the new deathmatch (Solo) mode!
