Happy gaming time!

In Slaps And Beans 2 the combat system and its progression will be enhanced and improved. This will be done through the use of new environmental interactions (especially with Terence), improved combos to create single or co-operative attacks, and the addition of new power-ups. Here are a few examples: [previewyoutube=3VNAJlbi1Zg;full][/previewyoutube] Improved Terence's dodging ability. When Terence dodges a hit near a wall or obstacle the enemy will be confused and vulnerable. [previewyoutube=wsURVfHSEXA;full][/previewyoutube] Terence will be able to use his speed to "lock" hordes of enemies and lead them towards Bud or a trap. [previewyoutube=Nk4gPIS_VEs;full][/previewyoutube] New power-ups will temporarily increase players' abilities and certain gameplay parameters (strength, speed, damage resistance, time running speed, etc.).

Today, September 16, 2021 the Trinity Team and Buddy Production are launching the Kickstarter campaign for the long-awaited follow-up project: the second part of Slaps And Beans, the official video game of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. Upon reaching the campaign objective of Slaps And Beans 2, there will be a brand new story, new mini-games, a 4-player party mode and many other new features. The most interesting stretch goals include voice synchronization (with voices of Michele Gammino, Tilo Schmitz and Dennis Schmidt-Fo) and a release for the latest generation of consoles.
