We are following the events in the flooded areas with sadness and deep sympathy and are shocked how many people have lost their lives, their livelihood, or their life's work. Our thoughts are with those affected and their families who are still - after the water slowly recedes - holding out in uncertainty and fighting for their belongings.
We are full of pride and admiration for the service of volunteers, farmers, firefighters, soldiers, police officers, and disaster services who are working day and night in the flooded areas and who are sacrificially working under the most adverse circumstances for the people in need.
Separately, we are donating an additional 30,000 Euros to Aktion Deutschland Hilft! As part of Embracer Group and the THQ Nordic family, it's natural for us to stand united even in hard times, give back, and make the world a better place.
The Steam event includes a total of 37 games and 5 DLCs - among them such hits as El Hijo - A Wild West Tale (Best German Family Game 2021, winner of the Goldener Spatz), Through The Darkest Of Times (multiple winner of the German Computer Game Award (DCP), German Developer Award (DEP) and Indie Award Nominee at Gamescom), Little Big Workshop, Clouds & Sheep 2, Spitlings, Aces of the Luftwaffe Squadrons or the Townsmen series.
Aktion Deutschland Hilft is an alliance of renowned German aid organizations that works together to help people who have lost everything due to major disasters.
If you would like to help beyond German Flood Relief, or if you already have all of our games, you can do so quickly and easily on the site www.aktion-deutschland-hilft.de. The donations go directly to where they are needed.
Thank you and stay safe <3

About the Game
Once You Spit, You Can’t Quit!
Spitlings is a a chaotic action arcade game for one to four players. It puts you in control of the titular Spitlings: charming rectangular creatures with teeth they can spit at bubbles or use to jump! Your goal is simple, but hard to achieve: Get rid of all the bubbles bouncing around the screen!
A True Co-op Experience
Spitlings is a multiplayer game that takes cooperation seriously: If one player fails, everyone restarts the level together.
This makes it a challenging frenzy - perfectly suited for playing with friends both locally and online. Prepare for intense moments and a lot of shouting, as you and your friends will beat level after level by the spit, uhm, skin of your teeth. You will always have to keep an eye on your limited supply while jump out of the way of the bouncy bubbles and try to split them. Beat the time challenge of each level to unlock its harder b-side version, plus even more playable Spitlings and color themes!
Story Campaign
The Spitlings are happy little creatures, living a peaceful life in their skyscraper hometown. Their only problem is the weather: It rains nasty goop that turns into bubbles, entraps the Spitlings and wrecks their town! There is only one option: They’ll have to split all bubbles and free their friends on the lower floors. Along the way, who knows what they might encounter…
Arcade Mode
Be sure to check out the party mode that comes with mutators which add another layer of chaos. Want to play in the upside down? Never stop jumping? Put on a space helmet? We got you covered! Tune your preferred game modes, mutators and level pools as needed to fit the experience to your liking. Then invite your friends and start spitting! Your performance will be judged with an array of unique medals...
