Description
When four fishy friends lose the ability to breathe underwater, they’ll do whatever it takes to get revenge. In their adventure, they’ll craft submarines, cross the ocean, and do battle with treacherous dolphins. FINGEANCE takes the best parts of dungeon raiding — teamwork, loot, and gigantic bosses — and brings them to the shoot-em-up genre. It expands on traditional co-op shooters by allowing players to take on distinct strategic roles. One player might build her submarine to protect teammates, while another emphasizes pure destruction.
History
We made Fingeance because we loved the excitement of co-op action games like Jamestown and Metal Slug, but wanted a deeper, more strategic experience. Where games in this genre often encourage replay by demanding perfectionistic bullet-dodging, we reward resourcefulness, creativity, and teamwork. In this shoot-em-up, you might win by freezing bosses in place, building an army of drones, or turning one player into an invincible wall. Different upgrades are available each playthrough, so your team will need to think hard and make the most of what you’re given.
Features
- Grab your Friends — Join forces in strategic four-player local co-op play.
- Craft your Ship — Buy upgrades and transform your sub into a unique fighting machine.
- Raid the Bosses — Test your mettle against the vast and mysterious titans of the deep.
- Save the Ocean — Explore Fingeance’s story and reclaim your homeland from the villainous dolphins.
- Savor the Style — Dive into a vivid comic book world full of excitement and adventure.

About Escape Industries
Boilerplate
Based in the frigid American North, Escape Industries builds its games with the pride of people too stubborn to fail. With loving care, we extract every pixel that goes into our games from core samples of the Ojibwe permafrost. Pixels in hand, we head home, roll up our sleeves, snowshoe around the moose in our backyard, and get to work.
