Sleepy Sheepy

We provided a first look at Machete Brawl – a new title from q-bit games and Sleepy Sheepy – back in April. Since then, q-bit says “a lot of things happened”. That has resulted in Machete Brawl’s death, though the project has been reborn as “Holobunnies”.

What was planned for Machete Brawl will now be included in Holobunnies as a multiplayer mode. Here’s a brief overview of the new game:

Holobunnies is a side-scrolling exploration-based action game set in the wonderful and bizarre depths of PANDEMONIUM! You’ll be playing as one of the four fluffy Holobunnies ; Danielle the witch, Leenox the hunter, Mephisto the ninja and Roméo the bard – each with their unique abilities. You will travel the caverns by jumping, running, and jetpacking through enemies and hidden treasures to find who or what stole Holobunnies’ favorite creatures’ eyes – the Machetes.

A Kickstarter for Holobunnies will go live this Saturday. If the goal isn’t met, the project was still be made – just “at a slower pace, and with less features.” You can rest easy knowing that Holobunnies will come out at some point in the future!

q-bit Games and Sleepy Sheepy have provided Nintendo Everything with a first look at their new indie project, “Machete Brawl”.

The title will be released on Wii U and PC later this year. It acts as a follow-up to the original Machete, a game that hit PC, Mac, and Linux just a few months ago.

Machete Brawl begins as the family of Groz’g Island sets up a tournament to win the Mighty Golden Carrot Trophy. You’ll be able to play as one of the family members to fight your way to the trophy through different stages, including a mushroom cave and a castle.

Weapons, bonuses, and maluses will all be a part of the mix, and each stage will have its own enemies and power-ups.

On Wii U, Machete Brawl will offer up to 5-player multiplayer with asymmetrical gameplay on the GamePad. You can also expect fast-paced multiplayer fighting action with jet-packs and carrot guns.

q-bit says creating the game for Wii U “was a no-brainer for us since Nintendo is our first love.”
