“Broomstick is the result of many years of iteration and tweaking and we are nearly there,” said Alex Tintor, Founder of Blue Isles Studios. “We are still pushing hard to improve and perfect the game. We have had a lot of fun designing these worlds for players to enjoy, they serve as a great backdrop for the fast-paced action.”

“Broomstick League is a deceptively simple game,” states Tintor. “At its core, the game is quite simple, but, from that simplicity comes a ton of depth and nuance and that is what we are most excited about. There is so much that players can do with our movement mechanics and physics in the game, and we can’t wait to see what else players will come up with.”
