New

• Added new grueling solo Masochist mode (top-left door in Hub)
• Added some toys in the levels to mess around with. And a ball and hoop in the hub
• Added beautiful environment art on all levels
• Overhauled much of the soundtrack and sfx. Twanging tunes and elderly grunts delight

• Optimized the game for Steam Remote Play Together
• General design improvements to all the Esophaball levels
• Improved the ascension behaviour so players have a bit more control over it

• Adjust terrain a bit in some areas that were just out of reach
• Fixed some missing tutorials in the coop levels
• Fixed issues with the camera sometimes getting stuck on a checkpoint
• Fixed sometimes not dying or getting stuck in levels

We're always open to feedback. Don't hesitate to report bugs or make suggestions suggestions on our Discord server. Also we want to see your best masochist times in highlights! (if you dare to finish it!)

You are the Esophaguys, old folks with elongating necks! Stretch, bite, and swing yourself around in 1-4 player guttural mayhem: co-op, competitive, and solo. Progress across each mode, reuniting and unlocking the garb of your lost kin.

Co-op Mode (2-4 players)

Stretch, bite, and swing together, traversing and solving puzzles as you search to reactivate the forgotten monuments of your diasporic people.

Minigame Mode (2-4 players)

In team-based sports or free-for-all arena, compete, neck against neck, to determine who has the greatest gullet.

Story Mode (1-4 players)

Accompanied by poignant narration, embark on a mythical journey to understand the past and shape the future. Will you uncover the true nature of the neck?

Masochist Mode (1-4 players)

No land. No checkouts. Nothing but neck.  Subject yourself to grueling challenges in a hellish atmosphere ripe for speedrunning.

Hub World Progression

Reconstruct the ancient monument of your people as you progress through each mode, reuniting and unlocking the garb of your lost lengthy kin.

Twanging Tones and Elderly Grunts

Lose yourself in a soundscape all its own. The first video game soundtrack dedicated to jews-harp music in a variety of strictly traditional and experimental styles. With painstaking adherence to centuries old tradition, only using instruments from their respective regions, classic twangs from Austria, Norway, India, Kyrgyzstan, the British Isles and America will delight your ears with every jugular jiggle. Accompanied with over 3000+ personally recorded mouth-originated SFX, prepare your cochleas to be tickled to the extreme.
