'Kabounce' (ALL) Release Date Set For Late May - Screens

by Rainier on May 9, 2018 @ 11:47 a.m. PDT

Kabounce is a fast-paced multiplayer pinball game where you control the ball, dominate the playing field with powerful abilities and annihilate your opponents to take their points by force.

Bounce and spin your ball to reach incredible speeds, or launch yourself into aerial platforming routes to surprise your opponents with an attack from above! Master your movement in this unique team versus team pinball experience, dominate the playing field with powerful abilities and annihilate your opponents to take their points by force.

Each match players battle in a team versus team format, hitting bumpers claims them for your team and grants you points. Points can be stolen with pre-selected abilities. Bank points at the goal to add them to your team's score and prevent the opposing team from stealing them. At the end of each round, the highest scoring team wins.

Enjoy quick competitive rounds and score valuable points to lead your team to victory!


Kabounce is set to launch for PS4 and PC (Steam) on May 29, 2018 for $14.99 /€14.99.

 In Europe Kabounce is available for pre-order on PS4 now. PlayStation®Plus subscribers get a 20% discount and receive a pre-order bonus which includes the Digital Deluxe content for free.

When you first play Kabounce it needed to be easy to pick up. Just bounce around and tag some bumpers, demolish an opponent to ransack their points – and experience a whole different take on pinball. However, once you start mastering the controls you’ll really be flying through the arena, racking up extreme combos and eliminations to multiply your points.

In the arena you’ll compete for the most points in a head-to-head competition of 4 vs. 4, orange vs. blue. When you’re ready to take the game to the next level, you need to balance your greed for points and eliminations with depositing your collected points in the goal – or risk getting destroyed and losing your valuable points. Cooperation is key!

What started as an idea for a tutorial became a speedrunning-parkour-extravaganza, and then a fully supported core feature of the game.

Players both new and experienced can sink their teeth into Parkour challenges and try to beat their own times, or set global records. Each parkour-style level is short, but challenges players in new ways. You can play these challenges by yourself or with your friends, and if you manage to beat Stitch Heads' internal developer times, you’ll receive the purple ‘dev star’ as proof that you’re better than us.

For those of you who often get sidetracked, find shortcuts, or just get to unintended places – we’ve hidden some loot for your pinball around the challenge levels.

So, are you tired of only having the same old dull, steel pinball? Do you want a pinball that’s ready for the upcoming summer? Perhaps you’re looking for a bit more hair on your …. beachball? Then Kabounce is for you – including all the pinball customization you didn’t know you wanted, but intrinsically always needed in your life.

So, you may be wondering: how do I get to deck out MY pinball with an afro, orc jaw and the most amazing pair of hippie shades? Simple: play some games, get trophies or play challenges to collect loot balls (which are rewards for you to open at any time and come in four rarities). You can’t buy these absurd looks – it’s gotta be earned.

Additionally, the exclusive ‘Symbols’ trail can be unlocked only on PlayStation.
