Our take on Ponpu
Its defining structure combines a boss-driven single-player campaign with four-player arena matches built around deathmatch, coin collection, and painting objectives.
What is Ponpu?
Ponpu reworks the Bomberman-style arena formula with hand-drawn visuals, new mechanics, and an egg-based arsenal.
Its single-player campaign follows a race to defeat the Duck-God before he resets the universe, with boss encounters along the way. After the campaign, multiplayer supports up to four players in local or online matches. Three modes are available: deathmatch, where the last remaining Ponpu wins; coin steal, where players collect the most coins before time expires; and paint battle, where players cover the arena in their chosen color. The game combines campaign progression, boss fights, arena combat, and competitive multiplayer in one package.
