About the Game

Sky Paws Awakening is a handcrafted 16-bit action-adventure made with heart and love, inspired by retro classics.

Starring Bonnie and Clyde, twin cadets of the Sky Fleet Guard, the game follows a routine training mission that becomes the first chapter of a much greater legend.

High above an endless sea of clouds, the Sky Nations live in a fragile peace. But when a monstrous horde rises from the Clouds Below and attacks a remote training outpost, two young cadets must stand together against impossible odds.

Swap Between Two Siblings in Real Time

At the heart of the game is the Twin Tag System.

Bonnie and Clyde fight as a pair, each with a distinct combat style.

Bonnie is fast, precise and agile, cutting through enemies with swift swordplay.

Clyde is strong, bold and explosive, smashing enemies with raw power and momentum.

Switch between them during combat and exploration to extend combos, counter enemy attacks, overcome obstacles and keep the pressure on.

Fast-Paced 16-Bit Action

Slash, dash, jump, parry and unleash special moves across handcrafted side-scrolling stages inspired by classic action games, built with modern pacing and responsive controls.

Face hordes of Harakis, dangerous creatures from the Clouds Below, and powerful bosses as Bonnie and Clyde stumble upon a forgotten secret that will shape the future of the skies.

The Beginning of a Legend

Sky Paws Awakening marks the beginning of Bonnie and Clyde’s journey from talented cadets to future legends.

They are young. They are untested. They have everything to prove.

But together, they are exactly what the skies need.

A World Made with Heart

Sky Paws Awakening is the first chapter of a larger world we are crafting with enormous passion.

The Sky Paws universe is a tribute to the animals who have shared our lives. Nearly every character is inspired by a real companion—some still by our side, others forever in our hearts. This world and its stories are our way of celebrating them, carrying their memories forward and letting their spirits soar forever.

The real Bonnie & Clyde, who inspired Sky Paws Awakening.

Bonnie, this one is for you. I miss you with all my heart.  Thomas
