History
In 2014, Philip Westre and Wilhelm Nylund released their first game called Air Brawl, a "fast-paced multiplayer dogfighting game" they started to develop when they were still Swedish high school students. The game was nominated for the Swedish Game Awards in 2014, and a year after, on June 2, 2015, was published on Steam.[5]
In 2015, after the release of Square Brawl, the development of Clustertruck began. The game was described as a "chaotic physics-based truckformer" and inspired by Nylund, who while traveling home from Gamescom, imagined himself escaping traffic by jumping on trucks to get home faster.[6] The game was developed by the trio of Westre, Nylund and Petter Henriksson with the help of Karl Flodin on sound and music.[5]Clustertruck was released on Steam by tinyBuild on September 27, 2016 and became a commercial success. The game was often compared to "The floor is lava".[7]
In November 2016, Landfall premiered an alpha-version of Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. Abbreviated as TABS, the game is a physics-based strategy game, where the player can create armies for a limited amount of in-game value to defeat an enemy force.[8] The game was fully released on April 2, 2021 together together with another game known as Rounds.[9]TABS received generally positive reviews, and as of August 2025 remains the most popular game by Landfall, having over 120,000 reviews on Steam, of which about 97% are positive.[citation needed] 2018 saw the release of Totally Accurate Battlegrounds, a battle royale game in the style of TABS. The game was released for free on Aprils Fools' Day and attracted "about 3 million" players in the following two days.[10]

The game was free to claim on the day of release which was done by 6.6 million Steam users.[11] It reached over 50 thousand concurrent players in the first twelve hours after launch and about 2.2 million sales after 2 months on Steam.[12][13]Content Warning was a huge success for Landfall, which attracted more players to the company's other games.[14]
On June 17, 2025, Landfall published a new game together with American developer Aggro Crab Games - Peak - a cooperative climbing game, where the player's goal is to scale a mountain in various environments.[15] The game has reached over 100,000 concurrent players in less than one week after its release, and was greeted with very positive reviews on Steam.[16][17] After the release, Aggro Crab's Twitter account commented on the game's success: "Why did this stupid jam game sell more copies than Another Crabs Treasure I'm gonna crash out".[18]
