LOS ANGELES – August 20, 2024 – Today during Gamescom Opening Night Live, FuzzyBot announced its debut game, Lynked: Banner of the Spark, an arcade-inspired co-op action game where playing together goes beyond the run.

In the year 30XX, humanity is on the verge of extinction. As one of the last survivors, you must form alliances with the robot resistance to defend against the world-dominating Combots. Rescue robot allies, explore their stories, and uncover the fate of the legendary group of bots known as the Banner of the Spark.


“We got tired of building dark, gory games, so we formed FuzzyBot to make fun, vibrant worlds with a ton of action,” said Max Spielberg, FuzzyBot Co-Founder and Game Director. “We're super proud to share the world of Lynked: Banner of the Spark with everyone! And honestly, we're just excited we finally got to make a fishing minigame…”


Key Features:
 

  • High-energy hack-and-slash action: Fight through roguelite inspired missions against the Combot threat. Get the edge on enemies with mid-run upgrades, or discover a new weapon to swap in-between! As you progress, unlock a deep arsenal of weapons, upgrades, and abilities with different classes that fits your play style.

  • Build, gather, and craft to get stronger: Build your town by completing runs and enlisting the help of robot allies. In-town systems such as gathering, fishing, and farming provide resources to upgrade weapons, powers, and more.

  • Play solo or join forces with friends: Play combat missions with up to two of your friends where you can take on specialized fighting roles to complement the team as you complete challenging missions and boss battles.
