Ra Ra Boom Delivers Villains You’ll Love to Fight

I’m super excited (and a bit jittery) to finally spill the beans on Ra Ra Boom. It’s like Christmas morning or finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag. Available now on Xbox Series X|S! The team at Gylee Games poured their hearts into this, and yes, you guessed it—I’m stoked for you to dive into it.

Alright, so Ra Ra Boom is your classic side-scrolling beat ‘em up. But hold up, let me get all nerdy about the enemies you’ll meet. Let’s chat about a trio of foes that are, dare I say, my personal faves.

First, adding lanes to the gameplay was just a total game-changer. It’s like we gave ourselves this quirky playground to cook up combat scenarios. Trust me, it’s cooler than it sounds.

## The Brute

Ah, the Brute. Think roller coaster—but on steroids. And yes, that’s a thing. Inspired by some rollercoaster I once screamed my lungs out on, this bad boy transforms into a coaster cart. Sounds wild, right? Creating him was a bit like mixing a ninja with a theme park. So, the Brute has this pouncing attack thing. Catch his “tell” before he springs, or he’s gonna get ya. Oh, and then he chomps. Fun times. Then he morphs into a coaster and clones himself. Total chaos, but somehow it just works.

## Martin

Now, Martin was the last-minute addition. It’s like realizing you forgot your keys when you’re halfway to the car. We realized we were lacking some aerial enemy shenanigans. Enter “floating menace” Martin. Designing him was like taming a stubborn cat. We learned—by pulling our hair out—that his holographic legs needed grounding. Picture a toddler robot on stilts. Goofy, yes, but Martin? He’s perfection.

## Bruce

And Bruce. Oh boy. Picture this: a boss fight that’s a chase scene. At first, it was making us dizzy (literally). Like, barf-in-a-bucket dizzy. Fine-tuning the background took ages. My eyeballs owe me big time. At first, it was just dodging obstacles. Sounds straightforward, but it was boring. Enter Eugene, the quirky companion. We gave players more agency, slowing it down, adding phases. All that jazz. Now, the Bruce fight? Epic. Worthy of popcorn.

## Pick Your Favorite

It’s your turn, my friend. Jump into Ra Ra Boom. Smack down some enemies. And hey, tell me which one you loved (or hated) beating up!
