If you thought you knew Australian Rules Football, think again. The rules are officially out the window, and the pitch is about to get delightfully unhinged.

Co-developers Powerbomb Games and Tinker Town, alongside publisher Umbrella Gaming, have officially unleashed Pro Jank Footy today! This over-the-top, arcade comedy-sports roguelike is available right now on PC (via Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.

Whether you’re a lifelong Footy diehard or someone who couldn’t explain a behind if your life depended on it, Pro Jank Footy is designed to deliver absolute retro-infused mayhem.

What on Earth is Pro Jank Footy?

Imagine channel-surfing back to the glory days of 90s retro sports titles like NBA Jam or NHL ’94, then pumping it full of modern roguelite deck-building mechanics and distinct Australian comedy. That’s the wild recipe powering Pro Jank Footy.

On the surface, two 18-player teams square off in high-tempo, pixel-art AFL action. But as soon as someone scores a goal, the sport completely goes off-rails.

Every goal forces the opposition to choose from a deck of over 150 absurd, game-changing power-ups. Score a goal? Don’t get too comfy—your opponent might decide to:

• Double their team size to swamp the field
• Fire all the umpires into sun-drenched obscurity
• Turn all the players on the ground into literal footballs
• Spawn goalposts randomly all over the oval
• Or even play as a giant, terrifying seagull

No two matches ever play out the same way, making every season run an unpredictable sprint through comedy and sporting anarchy.

Loaded with Comedy Heavyweights

The game doesn’t just play like a hilarious fever dream—it sounds and feels like one, too.

The humour and creative direction stem from David Ashby (co-creator of cult classic hits like Danger 5 and Italian Spiderman), while in-game commentary is delivered by none other than Broden Kelly of the iconic Australian comedy group Aunty Donna. From bizarre match hazards to laugh-out-loud commentary, the game proudly embraces oddball Aussie culture at every turn.

Key Features to Expect:

• Roguelite Footy Mechanics: Build a deck of bizarre abilities and tackle a dynamic Season Mode, or play pure retro match-ups in “Normal Footy” mode.
• Couch & Online Multiplayer: Best experienced with friends! Settle rivalries on the couch via local split-screen/co-op or jump online for face-offs.
• Iconic Teams & Stadiums: Play across 11 unique teams and 4 wildly varied arenas filled with hazards, surprises, and quirks.
• Retro Aesthetics: Pixel-perfect retro graphics paired with fluid, buttery-smooth modern controls.

Grab Your Boots—It’s Time to Play!

Whether you’re jumping in solo to conquer the dynamic single-player Season Mode or looking for the ultimate party game to ruin friendships on couch co-op night, Pro Jank Footy is ready to deliver.

Pro Jank Footy is available NOW on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
