Delisting
The Fizzy.com marketplace was shut down in September of 2015 after the site was acquired by eGames. All third-party titles not created by 3RD sense were removed and the site was pared down from 2,100+ games to just over 20. In February of 2016, Swords and Sandals developer Oliver Joyce announced that eGames had also acquired the series and that he would be maintaining existing titles and releasing new entries on Steam, iOS, and Android as Whiskeybarrel Studios.
By December of 2016 fizzy.com began redirecting to fizzy.com/swordsandsandals which offered paid downloads of the series titles and a bundle including other 3RD sense releases. In June of 2017 Swords and Sandals 2 Redux launched on Steam. Other Steam releases including new sequels, remakes of older titles, and bundles followed. In January of 2020 the fizzy.com site was redesigned again, featuring only the Swords and Sandals series and removing 3RD sense’s legacy releases.
