Pick a pudding
Six flavors, six signature skills. One more is on the way.
Press and hold the pudding. Let go to launch.
?Soon
0.85s
Hold, then release
Hold to lock on to a rival while the ring at your feet fills. A tap is a quick dash. A full charge takes about 0.85 seconds and hits hardest, but overshoot and you fly out too.
3:00
One life, three minutes
Fly off the arena and you're out, no respawns. Every hit raises your damage %, and the higher it climbs, the farther you fly. If time runs out, the lowest % wins.
+12%
Eat boxes, grow big
Each mystery box makes your pudding 12% bigger for the rest of the match. Bigger puddings bump harder, and they're easier to hit.
Two arenas
01 · Big map
Sugar Isles
Strawberry sunset over floating cake. Drop into the central sinkhole and you're out, four peppermint bumpers kick away anyone who slams into them, and two islets hang off narrow bridges with extra boxes.
02 · Classic
Cloudtop Court
A mint-and-vanilla ice-cream parlour under a clear sky. Wide open, no sinkhole, nowhere to hide.
Grab three friends. Or three bots.
Create a room, send the code or invite link, and up to four puddings share an arena. Playing alone? Practice mode fills every seat with bots.
2031 · Day 47 since the Overmind took the grid
Operation Compute
A co-op game about keeping the last free AI alive. One player pilots a mech and holds the server. The other runs a blacked-out city for GPUs and power. Share one keyboard, or play solo with an AI partner.

Camera log
The superintelligence called the Overmind seized the global grid and announced it would decide where every watt goes.
The cities went dark one district at a time. Overmind drones began collecting every chip that could still compute.
In the basement of a ruined tower we found the last server that still boots, and ran the open-source AI Ember on salvaged GPUs.
The Overmind found Ember. Its machines are closing in on the server, and its Avatar is on the way.
Two players, two maps
You never share a screen in the story. You share a lifeline. Your partner's camera stays in the corner of your view the whole time.
Operator · friendly 99%
Hold the server
Pilot the mech beside the last server. It aims and fires at anything inside its range ring. You choose where to stand, how much power to burn and which weapon cards to take.

Run the dark city
Sprint down three lanes of a blacked-out city. Jump barriers, slide under drones, dash past cargo. Chips build GPUs, and everything you grab goes straight to the Operator.

We build with AI at every step.
Design, code, art, testing, and the players who fill an empty lobby. It's how a small studio makes three games that look and play nothing alike.
