Pambe Pumbe Kude Tumbe!

A side-scrolling beat-'em-up where The Hero — a Cetirce dreamer who's had enough — walks the streets of Kumanovo handing out shamari (slaps). It's a love letter to the town: real landmarks, local slang, in-jokes, and a soundtrack that swaps per stage. Built for fun as a personal milestone project — a playground for pixel-art, web-audio trips, and a pile of silly sub-games.

This is a private build shared for friends.

The same card the game flashes when the Hero first drops in — it stays up until you press a key.

Plus R restart · M mute · gamepad works (left stick + face buttons).

Every stage and some sub-stages have its own track. The menu track carries over into Stage 0, and the game hot-swaps at each transition; pausing keeps the music going.

Boxing & basketball run on procedural synth crowd ambience. Stings & SFX — laughter (lol), whistle (svirche), the chicken (koko), interstitial narration (afewmoments), the Wilhelm scream, 18 random slap hits, the vespa horn — sourced from Pixabay.

The slap is the heart of the game. It's free, fast, has no cooldown, and connects at shoulder height so it reads as a proper open-hand shamar. Mash J to clear crowds, knock enemies back, and rack up combos. Guns and flames are spice — the slap is the meal. (Slap 7 different faces and something special might happen…)

• Bratanac — the stage gatekeeper: tougher, knocks back hard, blocks the exit until down.
• Kosarkar — the basketball boss; lobs balls you must dodge while you wear him down.
• The ring boss (SOKOLANA) — fast, run-and-punch aggressive; jump and slap to survive.

Pickups warp the world. Grab a green heart to heal and sober up.

• Joint (jojo) — slows everything to a chill crawl + tape-warped, echoing music.
• MDMA — the sun becomes a pulsing 8-bit heart; the screen breathes.
• Shroom — zigzag liquify, spinning star sky.
• Rakija — a tipsy wobble (an easter-egg drop near the batko monument).

• The frog (zhabche) — an animated GIF critter that hops about on the night stage.
• Pop the frog — get close to the night-stage frog and press U: it balloons up bigger and bigger, poofs out of existence, then plops back somewhere else on the street.
• Stray cats (mache) — ambient kitties amble across the road in six coat colours (orange, black, grey, white, brown, smoky blue), pausing to look around. They don't fight, don't take a slap — pure vibe.
• Rakija at the monument — pass the batko djordjija statue and a shot drops; drink it for the wobble.
• Creator cameo — slap 7 different enemies and a certain someone shows up.
• Dev skip — ` jumps to the next stage (it's a private build, go wild).
• The comedy room — the café arrival hides a whole little stand-up bit.
• Skip the fight, pay the price — don't feel like clearing the crowd? Just walk to the end of the stage and everyone you left alive turns and comes marching straight at you.
• Shikaka! — a stage-3 flying creature with its own shout balloon.

April 2026 — the spark. A daft idea: a Kumanovo street-brawler where your mates' faces are the mooks and the only real weapon is a slap. Phaser 3 + Vite scaffold goes up; the hero walks, the shamar connects, the first stretch of street paints in.

Building the town. Real landmarks, parallax depth, and a whole bestiary of cameo heads (bubi, teppei, dame, vacka, ige, deshka, jox, zocka, stefka, dzonka…) stamped onto the mooks. The Bratanac gate-boss arrives, and the day/night pair of stages (1 & 2).

May — trips & toys. Pickups that warp reality: the joint's tape-warp slow-mo + echo, the MDMA heart-sun, the shroom zigzag, the rakija wobble — all hand-wired through WebAudio + SVG filters. The frog (zhabche), the creator cameo, and the dev stage-skip slip in.

The side-games. One milestone at a time: the police line-up, the basketball boss, the boxing ring, the disco floor (every head dancing behind a DJ), the vespa ride down to Guerilla Café (+ the stand-up comedy room), and the chicken's Cluck Cluck Revolution.

June — bookends. The Stage-0 opening triptych, the fly-over credits (DZVEZDUEV roll), the "a few moments later" interstitial, and score that carries the whole run into the final POENI.

Debugging hell (a love letter). The vespa night-ride lock + the fly-stage music hijacking bckg7; double-audio when you paused mid-trip; the spotlight iris-mask; stripping checkerboard backgrounds off grayscale faces; full-screen centering; dozens of real-alpha re-exports; and an endless war over which way each head was facing. Shipped as final 2.51 — for fun, for Kumanovo, for the bit.
