Hey everyone!
This week we bring you a handful of new playtests including the chaotic co-op games Sponge Break (with limited guaranteed playtest access!) and Viking tavern simulator Meadgard. If you're looking for more story-driven single-player games, we got you covered with that too!
Playtests 🎮
Sponge Break
You're a sponge. You're on a raft. The river is trying to destroy you. Chaos everywhere. Up to 4 players, drop-in co-op gameplay, with proximity voice chat and one extremely fragile raft.
- Guaranteed playtest access, claim one of the limited invite spots and skip the waitlist!
- 100+ unlockable cosmetic options
- Level based gameplay, across multiple biomes including sewers, rivers, abandoned facilities and more!
Sponge Break is a chaotic co-op rafting game for up to four players. Use physics to steer, dodge hazards, solve puzzles, and fend off wild animal attacks before your raft (and your friendships) falls apart.
Meadgard
A chaotic 1-4 player co-op adventure where you and your friends create the ultimate Viking tavern. Hunt mystical beasts by day, cook and serve rowdy patrons by night, and survive the wrath of Norse gods when the mead stops flowing.
- Unlock recipes, brew strange potions, grow crops, craft weapons, decorate your tavern, and recruit quirky townsfolk with powerful upgrades
- Leave the tavern behind and venture into dangerous wilds to hunt and fight mythical creatures, raid camps, gather ingredients, and uncover hidden treasures. Fight trolls with frying pans, dodge swarms of mischievous nissar, and haul your loot home before opening time
- Meet bizarre creatures, eccentric villagers, and gods with surprisingly personal problems
