Bopl Battle

2023Johan GrönvallPC (Microsoft Windows)

A couch/online game where you battle your friends with unique and wild abilities. There are many choices such as a shrink ray, creating black holes, stopping time and attaching a rocket engine to the stage to send it flying. Choose a combination that synergizes well to win the round!

What it feels like

The wild, physics-driven abilities and descriptions evoke mischievous, experimental fun rather than serious combat. High-energy colorful aesthetic and chaotic ability effects convey joyful, effervescent chaos.

How it plays

Pre-battle selection of ability combinations that grant modular powers is the central progression and strategic decision point. Jumping and navigating hazardous geometry forms a core part of the arena-based combat, with stage hazards and vertical space. Combat rewards stylish, expressive execution of ability combinations that synergize, core to the competitive loop.
