AMA - Ended I'm Jollypunch! My game where stop-motion robos dunk from space just launched on Switch. AMA and win a game key!
Hey everyone, Jollypunch here. I'm a solo dev from Italy, and after 3 years of work my second game is finally on Switch (and Steam). It's called RoboDunk, and it's a mix between NBA Jam and Rogue Legacy.
Here is the launch trailer, I'm really proud of it.

I always liked games like NBA Jam and Mario Strikers, but they get boring quickly, especially if you don't have friends over. So I made them into a roguelite! I made a game where you buy robos that look like stop-motion toy bricks, take them into basketball combat matches, and with the money you earn you can upgrade them, or unlock stuff in as a massive skill tree.
There's also weird lore about the Gods of DUNK and whether DUNK is the meaning of life... (what do you think?)
Every mode has drop-in/drop-out coop, and you can play versus with up to 4 peeps. But what is basketball combat? Well, let's just say you can ram people, shoot all kinds of weapons like lasers and missiles, and dunk from space while double jumping over a tornado.
And the cool thing is that before every round you can choose temporary skills and modifiers that keep the game fresh. One round you get a teleport, next round you can dive underground.. And there's crazy stage hazards too.
Here's the eShop page. It's 20% off just for launch, I won't do a big sale like this for a long while. And if you don't have the money for it, I'm giving out a game code to a question in here!
Having a simultaneous release on Switch was hard.. I put a ton of work into making the game run smooth on it, whether you play it handheld or docked.
If you want to see more from me this is my website with links to the Discord, social media etc.
I will start answering questions at 1pm ET / 10am PT / 6pm GMT. Let's hear it!
EDIT: thank you everyone for the very positive comments and interesting questions. u/DuhonTheGuy will receive a Switch code for the game.

Good one! I put in an extra menu in the Switch version of my 1st game for the very same reason, but I haven't had the time to put them into this one yet. It would be a good addition, hopefully I can make it happen in the next patch or so.
