BouncyBrain Studio, founded by animation veterans behind blockbuster films like Kung Fu Panda, The Mario Movie, and Minions, is making its entrance into the indie gaming scene with the upcoming release of FULL STEAM: Fluffy X Machina. Set to launch on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch, the game will also offer a free demo on Steam in the near future.

FULL STEAM: Fluffy X Machina (FXM) is a roguelite beat ‘em up that transports players to a diesel-punk universe where they command critter pilots and their powerful mechs to take on a corrupt megacorporation. The game emphasizes fast-paced action combined with strategic elements, catering to both solo players and those who enjoy cooperative multiplayer experiences.

Leveraging their extensive background in animation, the developers at BouncyBrain Studio have infused FXM with vibrant characters and engaging narratives. The studio aims to blend their storytelling prowess with innovative gameplay mechanics, delivering an experience that feels both fresh and nostalgically familiar to fans of classic beat ‘em ups.

In addition to its engaging single-player mode, FXM offers multiplayer options where players can team up with friends or NPC teammates to tackle procedurally generated missions. The game features a variety of customizable mechs, each with unique abilities and playstyles, enhancing replayability and allowing for diverse strategies in combat. Players can also engage in PvP battles within Sparring Arenas to compete for supremacy.

BouncyBrain Studio is set to launch a Kickstarter campaign in February, inviting gamers to support the project early and receive exclusive rewards. The campaign aims to build a community around the game and involve fans in its development process.

FULL STEAM: Fluffy X Machina is poised to make a significant impact in the indie gaming landscape, promising an engaging adventure filled with tiny heroes and towering mechs.
