The hottest octopus party in town is about to go down, and you don’t want to be the only person without a present in multiplayer party game Muddledash.
You and three tentacled pals have to wrangle the single present you have between you and get it to the party before everyone else. With four folks all looking to get that same sweet gift, though, you’ll have your (excessive) hands full. You are free to thump your pals with your tentacles to wrench the present from their suction cups and take it for your own, but expect the exact same treatment once you’re holding the box.
Once you’ve got the present, you need to rush through Muddledash‘s varied, goofy environments, all of which shift and change to create an endless array of new races to hurry through. First person to the party with the gift gets the fame and social status that comes with being the hip new kid at the octopus party. The rest of the octopuses get to go home and go to bed, which isn’t a terrible alternate plan, really. Or maybe I’m just horribly old and uncool.
You won’t want to show up at the party looking drab, so there are an array of hats you can stick on your player to make them terribly fashionable and stand out from the crowd. Plus, these adorable critters somehow get even cuter with tiny hats.
Muddledash offers vibrant, cheery, and wild races for your next party. Unless, you know, folks go home after arguing about a gift in your driveway. But that would be way less cute.
Muddledash is available for $5.99 on Itch.io, Steam, and the Nintendo Switch.
