Inspired by the classic gameplay of Bomberman, Ponpu takes the concept in a new direction, adding new mechanics and features while packaging it in super-slick, hand-drawn graphics.
ːsteamhappyː BOMBS ON!!! ːsteamhappyː
We are super excited to be a part of the Steam Summer Festival and to showcase a small piece of this game that we're beyond excited to be working on!
From the beginning, Ponpu was planned to be a couch multiplayer experience only that was supposed to release early this year. Then, after we presented the game at Game Connection Paris 2919 and won the award for best console game we started thinking; The best way to really show off this game's crazy art would be through some really cool boss-fights!
We started talking to our friends at Zordix Publishing, and they completely agreed! This leads to us starting to work on a super-cool single-player campaign for the game. When our publisher started showing the game to the press and the public, almost everyone requested online-multiplayer functionality. We were of course happy to oblige, and are now building Ponpu to also support full online-capabilities, including matchmaking and ranking systems.
The demo shows just a glimpse of what we have planned. We've included an early version of the first world, as well as 1 of the 3 multiplayer modes. We are aware that the demo has a few bugs and design errors, but we wanted to at least give players a chance to have a taste of what's to come :)
Join us on our live stream (you can find it in our events) where we will show off a lot more content from the game!
