I don’t see nothing wrong with a little bump and gind
Bossa Studios is best known for making games where slippery physics are a feature, not a failure. TheI Am Breaddeveloper has a knack for taking a simple premise and turning it into a game that plays like a digital slapstick comedy.
The studio’s next game,Decksplash, trades limb-flailing gameplay for competitive fingerboarding.
Decksplashmeshes the colorful chaos ofSplatoon’s paintball battles with the gravity-defying spins ofTony Hawk’s Pro Skater. Two three-player teams duke it out in a skatepark arena, spreading paint by flipping, grinding, and chaining together combos.
The trailer paints the game as a blend ofTHPS’s Graffiti multiplayer mode andSplatoon’s signature Turf War fights. It looks colorful and a bit more controlled than Bossa Studio’s previous efforts. Maybe skateboarding requires more precision than performing surgery?
Despite riding a skateboard for over a decade, I’ve never participated in a paint ‘n’ skate battle. I don’t know whether I’m missing out or if Bossa Studios is just ahead of the curve when it comes to skating trends. We’ll find out more as theDecksplashrolls towards a release later this year.
