We've always known that Poppers was a game brimming with potential, however the realities of the whole development team having day-jobs that have been pretty full-on these last few years meant that Party Poppers had taken a backseat -- and we didn't want to rush it out the door unfinished.
But we're back! We've been working hard in 2024 to polish the game, get the game modes we wanted in, and added a few quality of life features along the way. Check out the new trailer!
Party Poppers finally shows that it is a popper proper evolution of the "Party" series, building upon lessons learned in Party Golf and Party Crashers. There is much more of a focus on simple modifications through the mutators screen, which can now be "locked on" across the variety of different modes. Descriptions are clearer, visible in the scoreboard and pause menu, and the 2D graphics are so much more polished now than our previous titles (with 4K support too!).
We've added AI so that you can give the game a crack when your friends aren't around. They're better than some of the developers in some modes!
The team have worked hard on filling out all the game modes, curating the mutators, and squashing as many bugs as possible. The game also should now run at a smooth frame rate without slowing down over time.
The game features are the same on PS5 and Steam (minus controller sounds).
We hope you enjoy the update. We plan on launching on Switch later in the year, and any fixes to that will filter on through to Steam too.
Happy Popping!
