Button City Moves to Steam in 2020

New Gameplay Footage Unveiled in Wholesome Direct

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – 27 May 2020 – Button City, an adorably colorful narrative-driven adventure about friendship and community, had a new video of gameplay unveiled in today’s Wholesome Direct. Developer Subliminal Gaming will launch Button City on Steam later this year.

Help the new kid in town Fennel Fox make friends with rabbits, pandas, and other cute animal children at neighborhood locations like the coffee shop, grocery store, and local arcade. Play arcade cabinets including Gobabots, the 4v4 action game taking all the cool kids by storm. Assist Fennel as he finds his place as the fourth team member of the friendly local eSports team, Fluff Squad, aiming to rise to the top in the local Gobabots tournament.

Unfortunately, greedy fat cat Peppermint Pepperbottom has other plans. If he gets his way, he’ll tear down the arcade in his heartless pursuit of profit. Fennel, the Fluff Squad and their rivals must band together to save the arcade, preserving Gobabots and other playable arcade cabinets including a drift racer and a high-energy rhythm title in this low-poly adventure accentuated by synth-pop tunes from the same musical team that worked on Guildlings.

“We wanted the visuals and music to invoke feelings of nostalgia for summer fun at local arcades, where new friends bond over the most popular games but there’s a little bit of something for everyone,” Ryan Woodward, Lead Programmer, Subliminal Gaming. “The hijinks our furry pals get up to in Button City are larger than life, but the story’s heart is really about that sense of community and standing up together as one to protect the things we love.”

Today’s new video highlights gameplay in Gobabots. Two teams face off to collect the most fruits by harvesting them straight off the plant or prying the delicious snack from enemy hands. Eight collectible toys slot into the arcade cabinet to alter a player avatar’s looks and playstyle, and can be mixed and matched to form the ultimate team. Only the toughest competitors will climb the ranks and win the coveted ninth Golden Gobabot.

Button City will be available on Steam in English later in 2020. For more information, please visit the Button City official website, follow @ButtonCity on Twitter, and search for #ButtonCity on social media.

Keen – One Girl Army Slays Evil Hordes on Nintendo Switch, Steam 25 June

TOKYO – 27 May 2020 – Keen – One Girl Army, the tactical turn-based puzzle adventure from publisher Phoenixx and developer Cat Nigiri, will skate and slash onto Nintendo Switch™ as well as Steam for Windows and Mac on Thursday 25 June 2020.

Strap on a pair of roller skates, hoist a razor-sharp sword and prepare to slice through more than 20 enemy types including zombies, robots and ninjas. Navigate sprawling maze-like dungeons set in mysterious forests, top-secret underwater labs, orbital military outposts and other exotic locations filled with challenging bosses. Help the heroine Kim save her village.

Hailing from a lineage of female warriors, Kim’s island home is in peril. A corporation’s insidious expansion plans threaten to bring 500 years of peace to an end, with only Kim’s lightning-fast reflexes and weapons standing in the way.

Earn gadgets and powerups making her a true one girl army able to teleport past blockades, stun groups of foes, trap enemies and eradicate any obstacle along the way. Skate through ten enigmatic regions depicted in a cute but creepy art style, from the village Kim leaves behind through the Forest of Illusions on the way to the big city. 

“Kim comes from a remote island, and her journey to take on the final boss at the enemy’s headquarters will take her through many strange and imaginative areas,” said Caio Lopez, founder of Cat Nigiri. “Keen – One Girl Army layers combat, movement and puzzle design on top of each other to create an experience where you don’t go back and forth between the elements, but instead get to think about all of them at once.”
