Over the last few years our biggest annual event has been our arcade inside the beautiful @playtopia.bsky.social, Africa's biggest indie games and immersive arts festival.💖

Team Lazerbeam @teamlazerbeam.bsky.social · 2d

We've built some amazing things over the years, and SFA games and controllers have been exhibited far beyond South Africa, appearing at parties and festivals in countries like Japan, Germany, Australia and USA.

Team Lazerbeam @teamlazerbeam.bsky.social · 2d

SFA started up in 2014 as a way of growing the South African game dev community, and change how people think about games.

Our controllers and games are designed to be super accessible, bringing people together through the magic of play and creativity.

🕹️What is SFA?
Super Friendship Arcade are a collective who host jams, share game dev skills, create weird multiplayer games and build crazy controllers.

Then we throw pop up arcades in unexpected places, showing off the creations from our amazing community.

People have said we're crazy for making a game like this, but we love it.

Ever level of Shroom and Gloom is created with 1000s of layers of illustrations. Don't think folks understand how fun it is to building a world this way!

Best reaction! We're very much hoping this'll also appeal to folks who don't usually pick these kinda games up!
