How did Hitbox Team come into being?

Woodley: Lexie Dostal and I met in high school where we made some little prototypes in game maker. Matt Bush and I met at college, and Lexie also studied there, although I was the only one that stayed for the whole course. A little while later we got bored of doing nothing so we moved into the shed and started prototyping seriously.

Terence: I met Woodley, Lexie, and Matt at GDC Austin with the indiePub contest. I joined them a few months after that to work on the sound and music for the game.

What’s the story behind this acrobatic janitor? Was he trained by ninjas? Did he find a magical broom?

Woodley: Haha, I like to think of him as a sort of abstract thing. He doesn’t really have a backstory, he just exists… Exists to sweep!
