Spanky's Battle Swing is a 3D rhythm based platformer, inspired by 1930s cartoons and featuring electro swing music! Enter and explore Metronopolis, a huge city where everything and everyone moves and dances on the beat of music! Help Spanky the Bat reach Mayor Metrognome's office and restore peace for your bat ears!
BEAT-BLASTED ACTION
In Spanky’s Battle Swing, the whole world shimmies to the soundtrack. The music isn’t background—it’s the metronome of the metropolis. Enemies lunge on the downbeat, platforms hop on the upbeat, traps snap in perfect time. The only rebel off-tempo? Spanky. Swing, slam, and slide—ride the rhythm or break it to pieces.
ONE OF US
Sick of Metronopolis’s endless noise, Spanky the bat straps on giant speakers and sets out to quiet Mayor Metrognome for good. Turn the city’s sound against itself: boost with bass, bounce off snare hits, glide on horns, and ping secrets with bat sonar. It’s spanking time!
THE CITY OF METRONOPOLIS
Throw down with towering bosses and cut a path through bold, hand-drawn districts—each with its own groove, guardian, and tricks to master. Discover powers, learn fresh moves, and meet a cast of weirdos and wannabe stars along the way. Who’s on your wavelength?
Key Features
Rhythm-Driven Platforming: Every foe, platform, and hazard moves to the beat—learn the pattern, bend the pattern, own the pattern.
Electro-Swing Soundtrack: A punchy, dynamic score that keeps the city buzzing and your feet tapping.
Vintage Cartoon Flair: A lively, personality-packed world with expressive characters and a 1930s-inspired look.
Rebel Against the Beat: As Spanky, you can sync up… or go off-grid. Break timing rules to create your own openings and shut the city up—your way.

General Improvements
We\'ve put some polish on the core UI elements that help you stay on the beat:
New Beat Trackers Graphics: The visual feedback for the rhythm elements (both the main HUD display and the crosshair) has been redesigned to be clearer and cooler.
[/*]Iris Shot Refactor: The transition effects (Iris Shot) now look much smoother and more polished, helping maintain that snappy 1930s cartoon feel.
[/*]General Scene Optimization: We\'ve done a deep dive to clean up assets and improve draw calls across the demo levels. Please help us test this! If you\'re running on low-end hardware or a Steam Deck, let us know if you notice any positive (or negative!) changes in frame rate or loading times.

Skallywag\'s Return: Minor level design adjustments.
[/*]Swamped!: Small level design tweaks.
