This game has some Splatoon in it

You can already tell, the goo splashing on the map, the squid board design, the scoring by how much goo you've covered the map in.

Clearly they probably don't know that they put many features from Splatoon.

Well Splatoon was a third person shooter with goo weapons. I think there good with distending them selfs from it.

Well I have to be frank with you, by just seeing it can give you Splatoon vibes.

There isn't anything wrong with having similar vibes from different games. You tend to see this a lot in game development, ideas are usually extended and evolved. I'm not saying this is always a good thing, clones and rip-offs don't please me at all.

Although, I don't consider Decksplash remotely similar to Splatoon apart from having paint involved. The controls, team play, customization and matchmaking makes it a completely different game.

It only reminded me of Tony Hawk and other 2D skateboarding games. This genre isn't super popular, and I'm glad to see Bossa Studios having a go at it.

I'm all for it. I've been wanting a Splatoon-style game on PC since Splatoon came out. This is a nice alternative, since it doesn't rip the gameplay design, just the scoring aspect. I think it's rad.

I may have an amazing example of evolving from a different game; Tiny Gaurdians, obviously based on the Kingdom Rush games. Almost the same art style(?), same map style, same metagame systems (almost).
BUT unlike the tower defense KRush, it's a semi-rail RTS minion-based tower attack! And it's REALLY well made!

Splatoon + Rocket League = Decksplash

We've definitely been influenced by Splatoon and we love that game to bits!
We actually did a blog recently talking about the origins of Decksplash and the games that helped to influence, shape and ultimately inspire the game we're creating!
Check it out to see our perspective on it![www.decksplash.com]

Speaking of which, Tony Hawk had the game mode for painting the map your team's color well before splatoon was a thing.

HOW BOUT PLAY THE DAMN GAME BEFORE JUDGING YOU TYPICAL UNWANTED STEAM SCRUB

ikr

it's as if these idiots actually expect us to be influenced by their idiocy

are they actually expecting us to NOT buy a new fresh game just because there are old assed games in teh same genre??
is that truly their small minded thought process???

"ooooog, i played tonyhawk on n64 20+ years ago... therefor i will not buy/play anything else... everybody should just play n64."
