Struggling Launch - Out Now!
Hey oddballs!
Ever dreamed of being a screaming mound of nothing but flesh, arms, two heads and teeth? Or swinging through terrifying environments and nightmarish creatures? Or, perhaps, overcoming the trials of life with nothing but your own meatball-like body?
Of course you have!
Well, look no further, meatsacks - Struggling is the game for you!
- Grab a friend and team together in co-op by controlling one arm each.
- Crawl, swing, clamber, climb, and roll your way to victory.
- Triumph over a variety of ingenious physics-based puzzles.
- Absurd levels feature diverse objectives you’ll never see coming.
- Gleefully grotesque graphics drawn by appalling human hands.
- Unlock a range of game-changing powers as you repeatedly mutate.
From the wicked and wild minds of Chasing Rats Games and in partnership with Frontier's third-party publishing arm, Frontier Foundry, we're pleased to be unleashing Struggling to the world today. As part of these launch day celebrations, we have a special message from the Chasing Rats Games:
Despite its appearance, Struggling is a labor of love above all.
If at any point during the game you feel like throwing your controller into a wall, hug it instead. Positive reinforcement goes a long way.
⁽ᶜᵒⁿᵗʳᵒˡˡᵉʳˢ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ᵃᶜᵗᵘᵃˡˡʸ ᶠᵉᵉˡ ᵃⁿʸᵗʰᶦⁿᵍ, ᵖᵒˢᶦᵗᶦᵛᵉ ᵒʳ ⁿᵉᵍᵃᵗᶦᵛᵉ, ˢᵒ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ᵍᵉᵗ ᵗᵒᵒ ᵃᵗᵗᵃᶜʰᵉᵈ ᵃˡʳᶦᵍʰᵗˀ⁾
In the meantime, we'll be right here, laughing at your misfortune and witnessing the final moments of long lasting friendships. Enjoy!"
Two heads are better than one as they say, and you'll use them both to get Troy, our fleshy hero, through this 'armful game by the skin of his erm... skin? Don't fancy going the gauntlet alone? Then bring a friend via Steam Remote Play and each control one of Troy's arms, guiding him to safety... or his untimely doom.
We look forward to hearing you cry, moan and weep as you face the struggle... in Struggling!

Struggling localized in 9 more languages
While we are hard at work bringing Struggling to life (in all its fleshy glory), we wanted to announce that the game will be localized in more languages than originally planned!
The game will be available in the following languages :
- Italian
- Spanish (Latin)
- Simplified Chinese
- Russian
- German
- Korean
- Japanese
- Portugese
- Portugese (Brazil)
We also had to reconsider the planned launch window. Since we want the game to be as amazingly absurd and fun as we can, we need a bit more time. It should release early 2020 instead of fall 2019.
We are eager to release our abomination of a game into the world and can't wait to show you what's in store while we approach launch.
