FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DUNKADILLO BOUNCES INTO ACTION THIS SEPTEMBER

From the creator of Dadish comes a new platforming adventure about an armadillo who is also a basketball.

Wellington, New Zealand – August 12, 2025 – Independent developer Thomas K Young today announced that Dunkadillo, his latest game of colorful chaos and questionable animal physics, will launch on September 9, 2025 for Nintendo Switch, Steam ($9.99 USD), and free (with ads) on iOS and Android.

Dunkadillo tells the story of Dill, an armadillo whose best friend Pickle has been kidnapped by a mysterious tentacle. Dill’s unique gift? He can curl into a perfect sphere and bounce through perilous platforming stages - and yes, slam himself through basketball hoops - in the name of friendship.

Players will traverse 50 vibrant stages, double-jumping over exploding bees, dodging oblivious porcupines, and outsmarting over-friendly frogs. Along the way, they can collect hidden trading cards featuring characters from Dadish, Super Fowlst, Be Brave, Barb, and more.

“I had a heap of fun making this game,” says Thomas, “especially coming up with bad guy ideas with my four-year-old son, Roddy. Putting Dill the Dunkadillo through a hoop feels super satisfying and also cool. But please, don’t dunk actual armadillos in real life - they won’t like it.”

Key Features:

• 50 awesome stages of platforming and hoop-dunking
• 10 unlockable characters
• Loads of hidden trading cards to collect
• Five big boss battles
• Controller support
• A soundtrack that slaps
• A huge rabbit
• And of course… lots of bouncing

Dunkadillo will be available September 9, 2025, for $9.99 USD on Nintendo Switch and Steam, and free (with ads) on iOS and Android. Review codes are available upon request.
