Tin Salamunic: I didn’t get my first console until I was about ten years old. It was an NES and I was nearly a decade late in discovering Nintendo’s greatness. Before my first venture with Mario and Super Metroid, I used to draw imaginary levels with friends where stick men came to die. After one of us came up with an absurd level design, the other tried to navigate his stickfigure creation step by step via drawings. It was a popular pastime amongst my friends back in the early nineties, but none of us ever imagined an actual video game resembling those ridiculous doodles would come to fruition all these years later. Paperbound is a Smash Bros. inspired 2D brawler that feels like a childhood dream come true. It’s developer Dissident Logic’s first project, and it’s already shaping up to be an indie gem.
Paperbound Brawlers is a smash-up brawler that combines platforming, twitchy combat, and gravity redirection in a four-person competitive couch multiplayer setting.

Paperbound is getting a huge update, later this month. Here’s what you can expect in this update.
