Spanky! is THE booty-physics party game that brings cheeky movement mechanics to chaos-filled party modes. Twerk online with up to 7 friends and slap some jiggly tush!
The chaotic party game focuses on booty-based physics and movement mechanics, challenging players to slap opponents' buttocks through various mini-games and party modes. Developed by HappyHead Games, the title is currently in Early Access on Steam, with plans for a full release in 2024.
At the heart of the gameplay are specialized movement and physics systems. Players can leverage techniques like the "Aimbutt" and "Bum Buff" to gain advantages, honing their skills to maneuver and "jiggle and bounce" through the physics-based environment. Reviewers highlight the game's "insanely unique booty powers" and the overall "high skill-ceiling" of the movement mechanics.
The game features a variety of party modes that revolve around the core booty-slapping mechanic. Each mode offers a "unique challenge" for players to conquer, with the games being "endlessly generated" to keep the experience fresh. Reviewers describe the gameplay as "chaos-filled," as players combine their booty-based movement skills to unleash "powerful spanks" on opponents.
One of the key features is the extensive customization options, allowing players to unlock over 300 free cosmetic items through gameplay. Reviewers appreciate the "fun and rewarding gameplay" that grants these unlockables, as well as the ability to earn in-game currency to purchase specific desired items, leading to a staggering 50 billion possible combinations.
The game primarily focuses on the multiplayer experience, supporting up to 8 players in online sessions. Reviewers highlight the enjoyment of "spanking their friends" and the overall "hilarious" and "adrenaline-filled" experience of playing with both friends and random players. The optional voice chat and auto lip-syncing features contribute to the social experience.
As an Early Access title, the game is still a work in progress, and some reviewers point out areas for improvement, such as occasional network issues, a small player base, and a desire for more customization options and content. However, most reviewers remain optimistic about the game's potential, praising the developers for the solid foundation they've laid and eagerly anticipating future updates.
