Description
BrambleLash is a spritely local multiplayer co-opetition with team swapping action. Enchanted sprites band together to defeat slimey hordes, whilst plotting the demise of their teammates to clear the way to victory. Connect, co-operate or betray to win!
History
BrambleLash is the debut game from new development studio ByteSprite, and has been in part time development since late 2014. The original concept was born in a brainstorming session during a 48hr Global Game Jam, and since has been growing in the developers' heads. BrambleLash has been prototyped and demoed at a number of local events in Perth, constantly tweaked and refined based on player feedback throughout its entire development cycle. BrambleLash was shown at PAX Australia 2016 the Perth Games Festival - next stop, Toyko Game Show 2017!
Features
