THRASHER Steam Release Now Targeting First Half Of 2025

Game Description Image

We've been super hard at work on the Steam release of THRASHER, and have made the hard decision to push the release until 2025. We know this might be disappointing to folks who have been waiting patiently, but just know that we're doing our very best to make sure this version lives up to our quality standards. It turns out that solving for the best version of the game on all of its intended platforms and controllers takes a bit longer for our 2 person team than originally intended. We're really excited about how things are shaping up and can't wait for all of you to try the game when it's ready!

If you want to see what we've been up to and live in the Boston area, we'll be publicly showcasing new versions of the game on December 15, 2024 at the Boston Festival of Indie Games:

We're hoping to participate in more events next year in the lead up to the release, so stay tuned!!
