Co-op 2D platformer Bye Bye Bonnie announced for PC
Combining precision platforming with golf-inspired mechanics.
Publisher Raw Fury and developer Brainwash Gang have announced Bye Bye Bonnie, a cooperative side-scrolling platforming coming to PC via Steam. A release date was not announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Bye Bye Bonnie is a cooperative journey for up to four players set in a dystopian wasteland. Tee-up a giant talking skull to defy physics, conquer dungeons, help strange NPCs, and find lost siblings. Upgrade your skull to ascend The Tower. Mother is waiting…
“Goodbye Children. Stay home, stay safe.”
Mother is gone, and she took most of your beloved siblings with her. All she left behind is a note, her songs, and a very tall Tower which looms on the horizon. So, you do the only reasonable thing: climb into your talking skull and start rolling through the vibrant toy-punk wasteland.
Head out on a heartfelt, cooperative journey with an unusual blend of arcade mechanics. Solve physics-based challenges, maneuver through themed dungeons, and collect songs that tell the story of a fractured world. Upgrade your skull until you feel ready to take on the final challenge of “The Tower”—a monolithic structure that requires coordinated teamwork to ascend. The secrets of your broken world await you at the top.
Key Features
- Home is Where the Skull Is – Inside your rolling home, lovingly known as Bonnie, your team will need to work together from a center console to press buttons, pull levers, and activate abilities, all operated in sync, to affect the power, distance and trajectory of every shot. When you leave your skull to collect precious resources, banish skull-stealing butterflies, or solve environmental puzzles, Bye Bye Bonnie plays like a classic platformer!
- Coordination is Key – The skull’s controls are operated together, and good communication is the difference between a perfect shot and falling prey to gravity. Every lever, every ability, every landing belongs to all of you at once. Built for up to 4 players.
- A Playground with Teeth – Seen through children’s eyes, the dystopian wasteland becomes a vibrant toy-punk playground: 4+ biomes hiding pinball-esque structures, gravity-reversing water traps, and other physics-defying dungeons. Dodge lightning and skull-snatching butterflies, help strange locals with their peculiar requests, and rescue your lost siblings before the wasteland claims them.
- The Songs She Left Behind – Venture into the wasteland to unlock and upgrade your skull’s abilities, from the parachute to space manipulation. Between shots, hunt for hidden cosmetics, secrets, and the scattered songs of a haunting and nostalgic soundtrack that acts as a breadcrumb trail to your missing family.
