A wishlist is also appreciated if you can spare it!
You can also support the game on Patreon. Every bit helps!
Please note that this is essentially an M rated game, with violence and language, so viewer discretion is advised.
Enter Slashbang, a narrative driven, movement-first first person shooter taking inspiration from games like Sonic Adventure, Jet Set Radio, and the Metal Gear series.

NEW MOVEMENT SYSTEM
Based on design principles of Sonic games, Slashbang has more originality than just rocket jumps and bunny hopping. Drift around corners, dodge bullets in a blink, and run up walls. Easy to learn, hard to master!
DESTRUCTION
Slice through incoming bullets, props, and even enemies with Flynn's claws! Environments are destructible, and enemies can be shredded to pieces.
NONLINEAR PROGRESSION
Slashbang aims to have a somewhat nonlinear progression system without the down sides. Levels are hand crafted, and you can choose the order you tackle them to gain new weapons.
STYLE
With a unique low poly, toon shaded art style akin to Jet Set Radio, and a soundtrack by Reski that evokes Hideki Naganuma and Jun Senoue, Slashbang has sights and sounds that will keep you coming back to get faster times.
SUBSTANCE
Slashbang aims to have a gripping and funny story about absolute power and how it propagates. Join David, his Spector, Flynn, and a variety of other characters as they try to restore order to their city under military occupation.
