THE LATEST NEWS
The First Look Trailer for Echo Core is here! Come have a look.
WHO WE ARE
Our roots are in Perth, Western Australia. We work fully remotely as a team. We started in January 2022, through a Global Game Jam. It created our first game TETHER BRAWL, which became a funded game through Screenwest. We released that in 2025 and now we are onto our second title.
WE ARE HERE TO STAY
The plan is to keep improving on each title to work on. Currently, our focus is on top-down, action games. Our first game TETHER BRAWL and now our second game ECHO CORE, falls under that genre. We want to be that studio that makes 'banger' top-down, action games.
GAMES WITH AN IMPACT
What is a game for if it does not affect people on some level? We want our games to leave a mark on players and change them, even slightly.
A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT
We want our devs to do their best work with us. We will not ask them to crunch or do over-time, but to enjoy what they work on and find it valuable. We also want to give back to underrepresented communities.
TETHER BRAWL
An action-packed, top-down, 2-player game set in a sci-fi world with a hint of cuteness, animal players are connected by a tether and must fight in an arena against waves of killer robots. Will you work with your partner to survive or betray and outplay them for a higher score?
TETHER BRAWL began in Jan 2022. It started as a small project from the 2022 Global Game Jam, where several university students got together to make a game with the theme for that year, "Duality". Since then, development has continued, with SCREENWEST coming in to support it through the Digital Games Production Fund and released in March 2025.
We are proud to have had Screenwest's support in developing this game until release.
TETHER BRAWL x PLE COMPUTERS COLLAB
LEVEL 126 was also involved with a collaboration between the well-renowned PLE Computers along with other Perth game developers. In a joint-effort, we designed custom UV-printed PC cases based on our games and promoted this new service that PLE offers.
