About this game
Zwamman is a relaxing stress-free puzzle game easy enough to play together with a five-year-old. Player 1 can use the spotlight to help Player 2 move Zwamman through the mysterious swamp. Together you can find the hidden crystals and light a path back to Zwamman's home.
At 9 pixels tall, Zwamman is the world's greatest hero who lives under mushrooms in a dark damp forest. As usual he's lost with many "scary" monsters lurking about. There are no actual scares in the game though. The monsters cause no harm and can be shooed away with the spotlight. So while the atmosphere may be spooky, Zwamman brings light in the darkness and the monsters might just turn out to be not so spooky after all.
Zwamman was originally developed for terminally ill children in hospitals for the Cliniclowns organization. So it's very well suited to be played together with a young child, or by two children playing together.
The game is played with mouse and keyboard and can of course be played by a single player alone, but it also plays well in local co-op with 1 player controlling Zwamman using the arrow keys and player 2 controlling the spotlight using the mouse.
As a relaxing puzzle game there is no penalty and no pressure.
The game also has endless puzzles, and at any time you can choose to swap to a more or less difficult level. The difficulty ranges very broadly from simple for young children to reasonably difficult for adults.
TL;DR: Zwamman is a top-down cross between hidden object and connect the dots with obstacles. Relaxing puzzles with variable difficulty for all ages. Well suited for children and local co-op play.
Features:
Zero pressure gameplay.
Endless amount of levels.
Variable difficulty between very easy to very hard.
Local co-op using mouse and keyboard.

Game Pavilion JP Festival
Hi everybody,The Game Pavilion JP Festival just started and Zwamman is participating!Game Pavilion JP is a major indie and "doujin" (self-published) game exhibition and showcase event held in the Osaka Baseball Dome in Japan from now until 31 July.It highlights video games with japanese language support created by solo developers, small independent studios, and students.The event includes hands-on playable demos, developer meet-and-greets, and media coverage.Attendees can test out experimental, minimalist, and uniquely themed games that break away from major corporate studios. Unfortunately I won't be attending the event in person. Perhaps in the future.But there is a steam page for the event as well, where Zwamman can be found under the puzzle section. If you're in the neighborhood or interested in small experimental games, it is definitely worth a look!https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45279210/sale/GamePavilionJP2026Summerhttps://gamepavilion.jp/===========================================================皆さん、こんにちは！「Game Pavilion JP Festival」が始まり、そこに『Zwamman』も参加しています！「Game Pavilion JP」は、現在から7月31日まで日本の大阪ドームで開催されている、インディーゲームや同人ゲームの大型展示・紹介イベントです。個人開発者、小規模なインディースタジオ、そして学生が制作した、日本語対応のゲームにスポットを当てたイベントとなっています。会場では、実際にプレイできるデモ版の体験や、開発者との交流、メディアによる取材などが行われます。大手スタジオの作品とは一味違う、実験的でミニマルなゲームや、ユニークなテーマを持つゲームを体験することができます。残念ながら私は現地には参加できませんが、いつか参加してみたいですね。ただ、本イベントのSteamページも公開されており、パズルゲームのセクションで『Zwamman』を見つけることができます。お近くにお住まいの方や、小規模で実験的なゲームに興味がある方は、ぜひチェックしてみてください！https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45279210/sale/GamePavilionJP2026Summerhttps://gamepavilion.jp/Read full article on Community Announcements (info)AnnouncementsOfficial
