Bump Battle Royale

Bump Battle Royale is an upcoming arcade game that was announced to be in development on July 4, 2014.

Bump Battle Royale will be Nitrome Touchy compatible upon release and is the first since Rush to accommodate a maximum of four players with or without Touchy.

Gameplay
Bump Battle Royale is an arena game where the player is tasked with knocking opposing players off the stage. The player controls a character in a bumper car, this character spinning around until the player hits the acceleration key, which causes them to burst in the direction they are facing until the player lets go of the acceleration key.

Bump Battle Royale supports up to four player multiplayer with or without Nitrome Touchy, on the game modes Last Man Standing and Team Battle.

Campaign levels
Campaign serves as the single player mode of the game, being divided up into levels and requiring only a single player. Each level tasks the player with bumping the opposing players off the stage across three rounds. The player can unlock other characters and arenas in this mode.
