About This Game

A 2D platformer fighter turned bumper-cars, there is no need to memorize tech! Just hit them!

I didnt like how input-complex games like SSBU, or for better examples, Street fighter or guilty gear get. their controls are fundamnetally non-intuitive to the average joe, which creates the ever present phenomena of button mashing to win in a party setting.

I thought, whats a simple character controller method that would be intuitive to pick up quickly, but has a very high skill ceiling? Pure movement.

hence, the idea for this game was born, several years ago.

that is to say, with 8 maps and 7 unique and selectable abilities upon playtesters release, Bonk-a-donk was born!
This game is meant to be super smash brothers, but WAY less complex controls. I eventually have plans for many updates, but for now, this is the bare essentials!

4 players max in a match, with local play and rollback-based multiplayer over LAN or steam servers. You can change your sprites color or add a hat out of 21 options for your lil guy. There are different types of surfaces, ones that are bouncy like you are, ones that are sticky (heh), and regular ol' platforms. 

Along with 4 ability slots to mix and match the abilities however you want, you can customize your input binds however you'd like. this will be updated in the future.

Join the discord and find people to play with, or just play with friends locally or using steam lobby codes. 

The creation of this game was supposed to just be a tertiary hobby for a year during 3rd year engineering university. then it turned into my entire free time. then i payed 100$ to get it on steam, then im creating official steam page art (with the help of TreeGuy, hes a cool guy), and now I have a Game. a real Game. holy crap.

I tried creating this game in unity years ago, but failed due to the dream of rollback netcode. then, in october of 2024, i tried making it in godot. got a good concept build done, and google searched "godot rollback netcode" to figure out if there were any tools. my intuition was correct, I found "Godot Rollback Netcode" by David Snopek. great guy, never chatted with him, but i owe the momentum that lead me here to him. I genuinely almost cried when i learned of its existence, literally.

Thank you to everyone in the godot and pirate software communities for all the help I have recieved along this game development journey. most notably, but not in order:
Sleepymushroom609 - Gave amazing help

Blackshift - Gave amazing help

sol-vin - Gave amazing help

booch - Gave amazing help

Jamepley Dev - Gave amazing help (Also go check out his game Gravity Storm)

David Snopek - creator of the Godot Rollback Netcode Addon & SGPhysics, heavily used in this game

Bearlikelion - Helped me figure out the initial & continual steam networking & steam store issues. Check out his game Surfs Up on steam, cool game right there.
Enjoy the game i made for fun to be fun!
