Description

Sunken Brawl is a game about underwater battles. Sea creatures from all under the ocean fight each other for a place to live in the All Blue sanctuary when a threat to all aquatic life emerges from the depths. Up to four players can choose among sixteen slimy characters with different abilities and special powers to battle!

History

Our game started as most games start. In a rushed game jam with low resources and the shortest deadlines. Two guys, Sui and Bruno did all the job in two days and you can play it here.

The game plays as a classic shoot’em up mechanic but with a fighting game vibe, the player duels against another player or the AI in very fast paced rounds. It is called Ocean Combat, because there are some waves passing around but the vehicles you control look and move more like spaceships, or maybe submarines.. They have some cool dashes, different attacks and special abilities unique to each other.

It was very simple but already very ambitious. You can see how fast the development was in this video. Controls were thought to be perfect on Nintendo Switch Joycons and the competitive multiplayer aspect of the game made we want more from the four playable ships. So they asked a couple more friends, Henrique and Dan, to join in and help bringing it to the next level, with better theme and art.

What if the vehicles looked more like pirate ships and you could personalize them? What if we took them off the ocean into space, with solar storms and black holes? There are already a lot of pirate and space combat games, also, we just didn’t want to be another “space pirates” in the market. The game is a spaceship shooter fighting game in the ocean.

We needed to dive deeper and decided it was going to be a game about sea creatures with superpowers and lasers fighting each other in the depths of the ocean.
