Press release:
ZHANGHAI — Oct. 10, 2024.
The Global game publisher GRYPHLINE are today very happy to announce its participation in Steam Next Fest with a playable demo for “POPUCOM”.
The free demo for the upcoming multiplayer co-op puzzle adventure platformer will be available to download digitally on Steam starting on Oct. 14 at 10:00 AM PT through Oct. 21. The whimsical puzzle adventure is the latest from the creators of the beloved tactical RPG and tower defense hybrid hit, Arknights, and is coloring its way onto the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®5 computer entertainment systems and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
POPUCOM’s inclusion in Steam Next Fest marks the first playable public demo following its Western debut at Gamescom and PAX West this year. The new demo invites players to enjoy seven unique levels with support for two-player local co-op (split-screen) and online co-op (up to four-player co-op will be available at launch). Customize a character and team up with a friend to solve puzzles with the “Rainbow Popper” and take down enemies in a vibrant adventure bursting with fun.
POPUCOM is a fantasy adventure set in a mysterious parallel universe. Co-start your journey by teaming up with a friend – and enter a world filled with colorful settings. Grab a Rainbow Popper and fire-colored bullets at the naughty Pomus. Matching three Pomus of the same color instantly pops and eliminates the threat. In addition to the Pomus, players must discover the right timing for jumping, changing color, or activating special mechanisms to navigate the stages successfully.
Key Features:
Play with Friends! Enjoy up to four-player couch co-op with split-screen as well as online co-op with cross-play support. Team up and work together to become the rainbow and save the world in a co-op adventure featuring a wide variety of 3D platform puzzle stages, as well as mini-games.
Become the Rainbow: Use your Rainbow Popper to shoot, match, and pop brightly-colored Pomus, solving various match-3 and physics puzzles to advance through each stage.
Recruit Trustworthy Companions: Making new friends is also an essential skill in this 3D platforming adventure. Recruit Rollo the Bomb, Captain Kitty, Barrier Bot, and Power Kid as your helpful companions to solve the puzzle and save the world!
