This page features alpha gameplay footage. Content may change prior to release, and this page will occasionally be updated throughout development.
Humble Beginnings
Impound Rumble is an upcoming indie platform fighter developed by tafaar, a solo developer handling everything except for music - and that means everything from art, animations, and character design, to programming, netcode, balance, and yes; this website.
Initially, Impound Rumble was meant to just be my senior project for college with a silly story based on the time my car got towed during finals week. After a year of development, the game is in an alpha state with buttery-smooth rollback netcode for online play, 4 initial functional characters, and proof of concepts of some unique gameplay mechanics that are inspired from over a decade of competition and both love and frustration with the state of the genre.
Planned Content and Features
A more detailed project timeline will be posted here eventually.
For a better idea of the scope of Impound Rumble, check out my YouTube or the game’s Instagram and watch my devlogs/ short-form content.
In short: Impound Rumble isn’t going to be a ranked matchmaking simulator.
