IV Studio have announced that their colourful and energetic arcade title, Bouncy Smash, will arrive on the App Store for iOS devices early next year. Nominated for Mobile Game of the Year by the 2017 Bit Awards, this entertaining romp has been inspired by retro hits such as Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong and contemporary titles including Alto’s Adventure and Monument Valley.
Set in 2019, Bouncy Smash follows the story of Arlo, a member of a special squad called Smashers who are responsible for the destruction of rogue synthetic beings called Duplicants. As Arlo players must destroy the renegade Duplicants before they cause too much trouble.
Pinpoint accuracy and split second timing are required to crush wave after wave of evil Duplicants but with each wave defeated players will earn a reward from a variety of perks such as a 20% higher bounce bonus. Attacks can also be improved with the addition of four powerful smashing abilities. There are also 75 unlockables hidden throughout the game that allow Arlo to be customised.
Bouncy Smash features:
- Experience the best in arcade style platforming gameplay with colorful, challenging levels.
- Customise your character with fun outfits and colour skins – each with their own upgrades.
- Use four skills to make your character even more powerful.
- Test your bounce and smash skills in intense daily and weekly challenges.
- Rack up massive high scores to bounce your way up the leaderboards.
“Bouncy Smash is a culmination of our life experiences as children of the ‘90s. Like most gamers from our generation, Nintendo and N64 titles carried us through the introduction of the PlayStation 2 in 2000 – but we eventually started seeing beyond the endless fun at our disposal and began to think in terms of gameplay mechanics, balance, and replayability. The result is the technicolor madness of Bouncy Smash.” Said Zac Dixon, Creative Director, IV Studio.
