At the BitSummit game festival, the make.ctrl.Japan booth featured an officially Poncle-approved collaboration with Vampire Survivors. Players could try special controllers including a manually spun King's Bible, a treasure chest that becomes the player character, and a towel-swinging game that requires matching enemy colors. The booth also showcased other unique controller-based games.
At this year's BitSummit, the make.ctrl.Japan booth ran an officially Poncle-approved collaboration with Vampire Survivors. The result was a set of special controllers that turn the game's automated combat into manual labor. In Guruguru Survivor, players physically spin a large King's Bible prop to rotate the in-game weapon. Discover the Treasure Chest! turns the treasure chest into the player character, controlled by tilting a small handheld chest. TOWEL SURVIVOR has players swing colored towels to match and repel enemies of the same color. The booth also featured other controller experiments, including ANRI, where gripping a small device powers an attack in a battlefield setting.
