Indie developer Badgerhammer Limited has announced Playtonic Friends will publish Dunk Dunk, their new multiplayer and basketball-themed party action game.

Alongside news of Playtonic picking up publishing for the game is the reveal that Playtonic Games’ characters Yooka and Laylee from Yooka-Laylee will be playable in the game.

Dunk Dunk is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) and Nintendo Switch, though a release date wasn’t confirmed.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

Dunk Dunk is a basketball game unlike any other, mixing a unique cartoony aesthetic, the strategy and precision of basketball with the chaotic fun of multiplayer arena platforming action, making for some nail-bitingly tense matches.

Play alone, with a friend or a house full of friends. Dress up your mascots and dunk basketballs, balloons or even anvils in crazy locations from all over the universe like space stations, dinosaur parks and haunted houses. It’s dunk or be dunked (on).

Features

• Easy to Pick Up – Plays like your favourite platformer with familiar and simple controls meaning anyone can take to the court and start dunking.
• Master Your Ball Control
  • AIM & THROW – Total 360° analogue arm control allows you to AIM, THROW and slam DUNK the ball at the exact angle you want.
  • BLOCK & DEFLECT – Defend your goal! Extend your whole body for a stretchy block or deflection to keep your opponents from scoring. Or, become a platform to help your teammates reach that hoop.
  • FEINT & SHIELD – Fool your opponent with a fake throw or shield the ball by holding it out of your opponent’s reach.
• Solo, Co-op, and PVP Modes – Play solo or co-op with a friend in Quick Match, or against increasingly harder opponents in Galaxy Tour, Challenge or Cup modes. Or take on a friend, or up to 16 friends, in local multiplayer across the Quick Match, Mutator Madness and Tournament modes.
• Customize Your Dunker – Want to play as a purple-robo-vampire-shark? We got it covered. Customise your characters with hundreds of different body parts and more than 2 and a half million procedural team and player names. Who knows, there might even be cameo appearances. Wouldn’t that be cool?
• Dunk Across the Universe – Play across 8 unique arenas from all over the universe. From an underwater lab to dinosaur times and a marooned space station, each arena has its own special features.
