Now, having played a handful of matches, I can confirm that, although it tries a few new things, the comparisons with Nintendo\u2019s inky shooter are completely valid.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"mobile-ad-break\"><\/section>\n<\/p>\n<p>Truthfully, playing four matches of a single mode during gamescom is nowhere near enough to get a proper feel of the game. It\u2019s barely long enough to familiarise yourself with the controls. But having played a bunch of Splatoon 3 recently, the very same mechanics of shooting brightly-coloured goop and moving quickly around the arena is at the centre of what Foamstars does. Naturally, there are subtle differences: the foam you fire has a much more three-dimensional effect on the match \u2013 so much so it\u2019s possible to lay down a wall of bubbles that provide a barrier between you and the enemy \u2013 but the way it impacts movement is identical to Splatoon\u2019s paint. You can move quickly and freely across your team\u2019s colour, but scooting through the opposition\u2019s foam is like wading through treacle. Similarly, you don\u2019t dive into the foam like Splatoon\u2019s Inklings but surf across the surface instead, but the combination of laying down fire and then zipping towards your target is very familiar. <\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"image-with-caption\" data-image-url=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2023\/08\/27\/foamstars-gamescom-1-1693125376219.png\" data-image-title=\"Foamstars is chaotic when you're in the middle of a firefight.\" data-image-class=\"article-image-full-size\" data-image-link=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2023\/08\/27\/foamstars-gamescom-1-1693125376219.png\" data-caption=\"Foamstars%20is%20chaotic%20when%20you%26%2339%3Bre%20in%20the%20middle%20of%20a%20firefight.\"><\/section>\n<\/section>\n<p>The mode I played was a four-vs-four battle called Smash the Star and the aim was simple enough: \u2018kill\u2019 players on the opposing team seven times, at which point their best player becomes the \u2018star\u2019; knock them out and it\u2019s game over. There were eight characters on offer, split into four types: some carry rapid-firing blasters that offer a good balance between firepower and speed, while heavies carry shotguns that fire bubbles capable of pushing the opposition back. There are precision characters who rely on laser-guided shots to increase hit rate, and lastly Foamstars who carry huge cannons capable of laying down a ton of foam. Each also has two unique special attacks too, like grenades that send a burst of foam on impact to a giant shark torpedo the launches at the opposition.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"quoteBox\">There\u2019s\u00a0a lot\u00a0going on and quickly it becomes a sea of pastel blue and pink, with little contrast between your team-mates and the opposition<\/section>\n<p>There\u2019s obviously a sweet spot in terms of team set-up, using support characters to cover as much of the arena in foam to allow the faster players to move more easily, but understanding the meta of each character takes time \u2013 something that wasn\u2019t afforded for this demo. Instead it felt chaotic, even when we tried working together as a team. This is partly due to the presentation: there\u2019s <em>a lot<\/em> going on on-screen and quickly it becomes a sea of pastel blue and pink, with little contrast between your team-mates and the opposition.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I found this the most challenging when you or your team-mates are covered in a ball of foam, which happens when you take too many hits. It\u2019s Foamstars\u2019 equivalent of being downed and you\u2019re left to slowly roll around in a big ball of bubbles until either an opposing player surfs into you \u2013 which knocks you out entirely, costing one of the seven lives and forcing you to restart from the edge of the arena \u2013 or one of your team-mates gets to you first, putting you straight back into the fight. But downed enemies are covered in the same-coloured foam as what covers the battlefield so they\u2019re hard to pick out in the frenzy of a firefight, and getting into the rhythm of attacking and keeping your team-mates up and running was more challenging than it should be.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"image-with-caption\" data-image-url=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2023\/08\/27\/foamstars-gamescom-2-1693125376220.png\" data-image-title=\"Surfing is Foamstar's equivalent of swimming in Splatoon.

That said, Foamstars does have the foundation to be a fun game. The gunplay feels tight and the movement is fluid, and the idea of dramatically changing the battlefield by making bubble mountains that need to be clambered over is one that has huge potential. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Visually it has plenty of flair, mixing the style of Persona with the speed of Jet Set Radio, and it ran smoothly with no stutters, despite the arenas being swamped with foam that constantly changes the shape and surface of the battlefield.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>There are more modes to be revealed too, including a single-player game I\u2019m hoping will help players get familiar with the intricacies of Foamstar\u2019s mechanics. Will it be enough to pull players away from Splatoon? I think that\u2019s unlikely, but if it can fulfil its potential in the run-up to release, it might catch the eye of those who don\u2019t have a Switch.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"divider\"><\/section>\n<p><em>Alex is IGN&#8217;s Features Director and Head of UK Studio, and has an unhealthy obsession with LEGO.
