Rochester-based game developer BreadMachine today
officially announced its new game “Slam Land” — what they’re calling a “couch-competitive
slam dunking brawler,” where you must slam-dunk the other player in an attempt
to impress a seemingly gentle-faced, stoic, blue giant.
The game features a completely illustrated style, with
bright colors overlayed with watercolor-like textures.
Instead of taking place in a basketball court, the levels’ settings range from
forest treetops, to surreal, monster-like landscapes where the terrain has an
almost fleshy appearance. Each level displays different platforms and obstacles
for players to try to grab, dodge, and slam-dunk your opponent.
“Slam Land” is due out by the end of the summer, and BreadMachine plans to release it on Steam, Playstation 4, and on the Nintendo Switch. The game will be
available to play publicly Saturday, January 27, at the ROC Game Dev Showcase
Party happening at the Bug Jar (check out our write-up on the event here).
