05/02/2016 - Bunny Bash Launches on STEAM‘Bunny Bash’
On STEAMTM Challenges You To An Online Multiplayer Death-Match Against Adorable,
Deadly Bunnies! Smash & Stomp
Your Way To Bunny-Bashing Victory
San Francisco, CA, August 29th 2016: Hold onto your hare
and prepare for the bunnapocolypse with the release of Bunny Bash by DarkArts Studios, an action-packed online multiplayer death-match arena game with cute, adorable,
yet dangerous bunnies… Available on PC, Mac and Linux via STEAM™, this Early Access download can be yours with 10% discount off its regular
USD $15.99 price tag for a limited period of time. The objective of the game is to pick your bunny and enter levels of bunny
blitzing mayhem. Take on your friends or meet new people as you demolish them into piles of bunny-goo.
Launch Trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXsKewRUnqg
The once wonderful Bunnytropolises filled with tranquil hopping
past- times are no longer the sanctuary and place of bliss it used to be. Today, it has become a bunny’s worst nightmare,
a terrible Bunnapocolypse, where mega-cute bunnies grind, smash and bash on each other’s fur in a state of bunny stomping
frenzy. Come join the fun!
Bunny Bash offers 4 unique environmentally different worlds to play
with seven challenging levels. Play quickly, or strategically, by selecting different gameplay modes, and prepare to stir
up some fur. Your fluffy companion offers skin, fur and even “fluff” customizations, allowing you to tailor and
perfect your very own bunny-stomping machine. Overcome obstacles and avoid traps as you hop yourself to victory against opponent
players. Power-ups (and power-downs) can be life-savers during the game, and the trash-talk will make you cry with laughter.
Bunny Bash is a hysterical game full of humor and fun. It offers endless hours of multiplayer bunny-bashing
fun with more levels, more worlds and more content promised by the developer until its official release with the support of
its growing fan base and community. Download today! http://store.steampowered.com/app/340680
