damn, dunkey cooked
“Flawless performance on the Switch”
Well, I’m sold.
5 out of 5 dunko points
Classic. Haven’t played it yet.
It’s no Bowser’s Big Bean Burrito.
But I’ll give it a shot.
Still not as good as Knack
I’m waiting for a remaster, personally.
GOT DAMN DUNKEY and the team/studio have knocked it out of the park!!!
BIG MODE ACTIVATE
I’ve been looking forward to this. Not sure about the price though. I’ll wait for a sale I think.
I completely forgot about this game.
Cuz I got amnesia.
> It’s got a retro pixel aesthetic with the detail dial turned up to 11, with bonus (and optional) scanlines adding to that marriage of classic style and modern art capabilities
> If you’re wondering, the CRT-style scanlines are on by default but they can be toggled off.
I’m not well-versed with this terminology. Google took me to a thread that uses this [.gif](https://i.gifer.com/IBlJ.gif) as an example, but I guess my question is, do players generally prefer scanlines, or do people tend to disable/turn them off? Thanks!
It comes out May 9.
This game is going to look amazing on the Switch OLED. Most games do, but this looks like a real showcase for an OLED screen, with its dark setting contrasted with colorful, luminescent foliage.
At long last, Halo 2 meets Halo 3
Remember Dunkey is just the publisher. Billy Basso is the dev who deserves the credit if it’s a good game. Not dissing Dunkey at all. Just sayin.
Now the question of if I should get this for switch or for steam
It really makes you feel like you’re an animal in a well.
It truly is an incredible Strand-Type game
Playing it now with my 3 year old. She’s a big cat fan. She’s also a fan of other cute animals. It’s a smash hit
Okay, after reading the comments, I can clearly tell I’m missing out on some sort of inside joke here with ‘Dunkey’.
For the uninitiated, it seems like it got good reviews… Is it good for those outside the inner circle?
Ok but is it as good as Super Mario Bros 2 tho?

> Holy shit.
animal well
I can’t support the game, I’m sorry.
I wishlisted the game months ago, and was told I would get a loaf of Wonder Bread. I’m still waiting… /s
It’s like Halo 2 meets Halo 3
I can’t decide if I should check it out on my Switch or PS5. Not sure it really matters.
Can anyone confirm how this runs on switch vs PC?
I still have no idea what this game is even supposed to be about
Wow I’ve never ever heard of this
Honestly not my style of game, but proud of the dev and proud of dunkey.
Girlfriend and her mom are about to watch Eurovision. I have this ready on my Switch! Looking forward to it!
Spaghetti and Meatballs.
Wait. May 9?
I just downloaded it on Steam. It’s 34 MB. wtf.
Is this game appropriate for young kids? I have a 5 year old and am always looking for new games I can play with him. (He can be sensitive to scary things though and hasn’t been exposed to any adult video games. For example, he’s played stardew valley, Mario, Kirby, animal crossing… )
The solo dev grinding for 7 years reminds me of Stardew Valley
The marketing video Dunkey did was amazing.
Looks like a more forgiving hollow knight
Makes sense, I hear this game is like halo 2 meets halo 3!
This comment section is pure gold.
Anything on Switch performance?
