Publisher Zordix has announced Ponpu, the Bomberman-inspired game by Purple Tree Studio, is going to release this November.
Ponpu has you play as the titular character, a duck set to fulfil the prophecy of the Duck God to destroy the world. But he’s amnesiac and is now defying the deity.
The only thing that’s Bomberman-inspired here is the gameplay, where you lay down bombs as your primary attack. Everything else, from the aesthetic (a striking one at that) and the single-player story is all a new twist. There’s a single-player campaign you can play through, with over 10 worlds filled with enemies and bosses.
There’s also multiplayer mode, both local (couch) and online. There are three modes: Coin chase (gather the most coins), Colour Fight (paint the map in your colour, Splatoon-style) and traditional team deathmatch.
Ponpu will be out on November 5th for the PS4, PC (Steam), Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
