Decksplash is a cancelled skateboarding video game that was being developed by Bossa Studios for Microsoft Windows.

In November 2017, Bossa Studios announced that Decksplash was cancelled after not reaching its intended goal of 100,000 players during a Steam free week.

Gameplay

Decksplash is a team-based skateboarding turf wars video game in which a player controls a physical skateboard. Players score points by painting the field with their team's colour, with the amount of paint a player spreads being dependent on their combo.[1][2]

Development

In January 2017, Bossa Studios announced Decksplash. Rock, Paper, Shotgun compared the game to the likes of Splatoon and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater,[3] while PC Gamer compared it to Rocket League.[1]

In November 2017, Bossa Studios released a free build of the game on Steam. They challenged the community, stating that if 100,000 players downloaded the game during the free week, the game would be released into Steam's early access program, otherwise, the game would be discontinued.[4][5] A week later, the studio announced the game's cancellation after the player count failed to reach the stated goal.[6]
