Spanky "Bat-a-Swing" - Would you buy a 3D Rhythm Based Platformer?
Hello r/ShouldIbuythisgame, I'm Matteo, creative director of Green Flamingo Games, a 2 people Indie development team based in Italy. We've been working on SPANKY "BAT-A-SWING", a 3D platformer & rhythm game inspired to 1930s cartoon characters with a modern twist. The game is developed for PC and all consoles.
In the game everything moves to the beat, while Spanky, the main character, can move freely, but has specific actions that need to be performed on the rhythm. Interactions, attacks, bouncing (a run substitutive mechanic), flying, using echolocation etc.
We're also now live on Kickstarter, in the hope of giving more economic and community structure to our project, and, possibly, to enhance its final outcome with more and more polished features.
It's been quite a journey. Tackling this kind of design and mixing these two genres was not easy at all. We encountered a lot of readability conondrums and design challenges, but, quite frankly, I'm happy with the final result.
Let me know what you think. Would you buys something like this?
Ciao!
