Green Flamingo Games, a passionate collective of Italian game developers, has just dropped the demo for their rhythm-based 3D platformer, Spanky Bat-A-Swing, on Steam. For those of you who think rhythm games are just about hitting buttons on the beat, prepare for a delightfully bizarre rebellion.
Spanky Bat-A-Swing anchors its entire world – Metronopolis – to a relentless, high-energy electro-swing soundtrack. Enemies and platforms move, attack, and dance in perfect time. The twist? You play as Spanky, an anti-social bat who absolutely despises the noise, and he’s equipped two massive speakers on his head to weaponize the sound and, hopefully, stop the groove. While the world follows the beat, Spanky is free to move, but mastering the rhythm grants colossal bonuses, turning every level into a high-stakes, tap-dancing, cartoon brawl.
This isn’t just a quirky premise; it’s a stylish and genuinely fresh spin on the platforming genre, drenched in a vibrant, rubber-hose 1930s cartoon aesthetic.
Demo Highlights: A Taste of Rhythmic Rebellion
The demo offers a substantial chunk of gameplay, perfectly tailored for critics, content creators, and the general player who just wants to see a bat smash things:
- Four Unique Levels showcasing the game’s core traversal and combat mechanics.
- One Epic Boss Battle that demands precision, timing, and a healthy dose of rage.
- Five Distinct Tracks that dictate the pace and complexity of the environment.
- Built-in Speedrunner Timer: A constant, visible challenge for those looking to master the flow and shave milliseconds off their run.
Spanky’s Battle Swing Demo is now available on Steam.
Get ready to step into the beat, smash it to pieces, and make it your own.
