Last week our swingin' friend, Toss, took over all socials, sharing bananas gameplay and showcasing some of the mesmerizing biomes to be found in this world! And now... It's time for you to meet Toss!
Toss isn't your average simian, they are a true astro-monkey.
Stranded on a cloudplanet after their rocketship crash-landed, they must use all their acrobatic skill from space-training to toss themselves around the cloudscape playgrounds, gathering all of their lost bananas and finding the pieces of their broken ship to return home.
Luckily they won't have to do it all alone, a trusty A.I. Bot native to this strange planet will guide the way!

2022 Summer Developer Update
Hello fellow Apes! 🐵
Together with the summer heat comes a developer update! There's mostly just the one question on everyone's mind right now. Today, we'd like to do our best to address the elephant gorilla in the room.
Why can't I play TOSS!🍌 yet?
(1) As some of you are aware, we are a 3-person company as well as an independent studio. As much as we love to devote ourselves to the development we also need to feed our mouths, pay for all the expenses of running a studio & take care of the overhead tasks outside of actual game production. We are a tiny - but passionate.
(2) We are still growing as both developers & as a company. This will be Agera Games' first commercial release and a large part of the work we're doing right now has to do with establishing a solid foundation for more reliable, quicker and bigger productions. This includes having a lot of meetings, waiting for big wheels to turn slowly and hoping for favorable outcomes. In other words: It's not the most exciting part of the process but we believe that once we get over this hump, there's a fun and smooth ride ahead of us.
(3) The scope & quality of the game has improved and expanded from what we initially planned. With more and better content it also takes longer to finish milestones & make improvements to the game itself. This brings us to (4).
(4) We want to deliver a polished, smooth & impactful game. We are pouring all our knowledge & expertise into this for you to receive a game we as developers can be proud of and you as community to relish and be entertained by for hours!
With all this we appreciate our community's continued patience & support. We can't wait to eventually release the game and play it along with you all!
We're also very happy to share a little bit of the new content we made for you all. Enjoy and feel free to join our Discord [LINK] to tell us what you think. 💛
As the Steam Game Festival ends, we have closed down the TOSS!🍌 DEMO for now.
Thousands of people experienced TOSS!🍌 during the Steam Game Festival and it's truly been awesome. Watching your streams, reading your suggestions and talking with you has been incredibly exciting!
Believe us when we say that your participation is making a difference for the game, and we’re humbled that so many of you took the time to share your thoughts and enthusiasm with us. We've tried to make sure we respond to as much feedback as possible, but if we didn't yet, we're hopefully getting to it within the next few days.
We're still very open for feedback, bug reports, ideas and suggestions. You can leave it down below in the comments, on the Steam forum or better yet, join our Discord community and get involved.
This week has given us countless of memorable moments that will fuel us for many months to come.
If you haven't yet, please consider wishlisting TOSS!🍌 on Steam. It helps us out a lot. You can also follow the development @TossVR on Twitter and sign up for our newsletter. See you around!
The "slipping bug" should be fixed. Please get in touch with us if you still experience your grip letting go unintentionally at any point!
As a side-effect of fixing the "slipping bug", climbing is now an overall much smoother experience. We did change some things up to make this happen though, so let us know if there's anything that feels "off" to you.
We're also aware of other issues such as the Valve Index controllers not registering the grip button properly some stuttering going on when you grab. We might not be able to fix every issue during the festival, but we're taking note of them and will of course take care of them before the full release of TOSS!🍌. 🐵
P.S.: The quickest way to get in touch with us is by joining our Discord community. See you in there!
