Hey soupsters,
Guess what: we are initiating the closed beta playtesting campaign.
Why? Cause we have a couple of awesome ideas on how to improve the gameplay and want to test them with the community. Are you invited? Maybe. Complete this (relatively) short survey and we'll see:
If you have any questions, ask away on the forums or join our official Discord server to ping the bejesus out of us with those inquiries.

Play the updated alpha and new game mode on the Autumn Steam Game Festival
What's up, chowder heads!?
First of all - thank you to those who had tried our alpha out while we test new features, and tweak current ones!
Thats right! We’re back with an updated build for the Steam Game Festival: Autumn Edition!
We have been hard at work with lots of behind the scenes work, quality of life improvements, and general dopeness. (at least to us) It’s hard to sometimes think of this as an alpha!
We encourage you to gather some friends and play together!
Since you last played - heres what we just added!
We’ve started to integrate the new character centric UI which should be pretty apparent upon loading up the game.
New prototype game mode we’re trying out: Bombs Away! Race to the top and hold the claim!
Female meat chassis added
We’ve added some content to the customizer to create more salty beauty
The Unique cross channel Twitch integration! Multiple streamers can be in one game and all their chats can participate, voting for fun modifiers!
We’ve put down the framework for progression, however - its not currently in use. So unlocking and character leveling etc is soon to come.
Lots of gameplay tweaks and bug fixes (we hope!)
Bombs Away Game Mode! - Climb to the top, and fight for your claim as superior soup savior!
Oh and finally! Listen up pip squeaks!
WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK! Grab this alpha now on Steam! Fill out the in-game survey before Oct 14th with a real email, and you’ll recieve the OFFICAL limited SpeedRunners item!:Hot Head RAWMEN mitt once it's ready to go!
