Affordable Family Game Night Just Got Eggstreme: Enter the World of Ponpu!

Game loving snack hoarders + couch co-op champions! If your idea of family fun gaming involves explosions, ducks, and yelling “WHO BLEW ME UP?!” across the living room... then Ponpu might just be your new favorite chaos generator. This game is better for families with teen gamers.

Imagine Bomberman got dunked in a vat of neon paint, handed a toilet plunger, and told to save the universe from an evil Duck God. That’s Ponpu—a frantic, feather-flinging, bomb-dropping multiplayer party game that’s equal parts strategy and absurdity.

Released in November 2020 by Purple Tree Studio and published by Zordix, Ponpu is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. And right now, it’s just $2.24 on the Nintendo eShop. That’s cheaper than a gas station sandwich and infinitely more fun. If you have a Steam Deck, you can connect that to your telly and jump into Ponpu for $1.49! Sure... it's on Xbox + Playstation, but for affordable fun that you can jump into tonight, you can't be these two options! Not to mention the fact that you can save the rest of the money for snacks!

 Ponpu's Multiplayer Modes... of Mayhem! 

Up to 4 players can battle it out locally in Ponpu’s couch co-op mode—no internet required, just snacks, controllers, and a healthy dose of sibling rivalry. But the chaos doesn’t stop there:

• Online Multiplayer: Take the madness global and challenge players worldwide.

• Deathmatch: Classic free-for-all bomb-dropping mayhem. Last duck standing wins.

• Team Deathmatch: Pair up and strategize—because two ducks are better than one.

• Coin Chase: Grab coins, dodge explosions, betray your friends. It’s fine. They’ll forgive you.

• Capture the Flag: Steal the enemy’s flag and waddle it back to victory.

And yes, there’s a single-player campaign too—for those who prefer solo duck-splosions and boss battles with a side of sarcasm.

• Art Style That Pops: Hand-drawn, black-and-white visuals with splashes of color make it look like a comic book exploded. In a good way.

So grab your teens, some good food, and... game on!

Big Helmet Heroes: The Cartoon Hack & Slash Game... that may become a Family Favorite!

Looking for a fast-paced action game with the ability to deliver big laughs, bold battles, and doesn’t break the bank? Big Helmet Heroes might be a great addition to your collection... and the best part? It’s fun for all ages! This feels like a first party PlayStation exclusive to me, check it out:

This colorful hack-and-slash game blends hilarious cartoon visuals, customizable armor, and satisfying combat into a package that’s both entertaining and family-friendly. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer able to string combos like an EVO vet... or just want something lightly sprinkled to enjoy with the family, Big Helmet Heroes has enough... oomph for everyone + the sound effects & background music are beautifully blended with the visuals to make this awesome sauce!

Why I think this could become a family favorite, is a feature the game doesn't even have yet! (You heard me right, but...) If the Devs are able to resolve the performance issues with 4-player co-op... Big Helmet Heroes will be perfect for family fun night! It's one of those highly entertaining games that can set a Friday night off right alongside a really good pizza, your favorite drinks + a fun movie! Everything feels like it should be a 4-player co-op too, so... I think it's just a matter of time. You get to choose from 4 distict combat styles with heroes like... The Warrior, Brute, The Rogue, and... The Monk. Their different combat styles are a perfect co-op combo to take on the challenges ahead when 4-player action is finally implemented, plus look at the amount of space + the placement of the player HUD on the screen was evidence enough that you can place three more with ease.

I believe it would add to the longevity of the game's support to add 4-player co-op, and if they serve up DLC adventures (which they may simply turn in the direction of sequels instead)... it would keep the party going. Big Helmet Heroes has the potential to be a franchise in my opinion, that could also serve as a gem of fun for game nights. By the way, I will present this article to the Devs to help fuel their multiplayer motivation.

By the way, if you want the full package... the Exalted Edition is only a few bucks more. Meaning, you get:

Big Helmet Heroes (same version as the basic edition)

+ Big Helmet heroes - Artbook

+ Big Helmet Heroes - Soundtrack

Grab Big Helmet Heroes while its 20% off and you'll get it for $19.99 or $23.99 for the Exalted Edition. So strap on your helm, grab your favorite game controller a + 1... and game on!
