co-op platformers is a genre that, like anything ever related to platforming throughout the history of time outside of a brief period in early 3D in the late 90s when it dominated, has been underutilized and tossed aside.
I’m not surprised at all one that looked decent got attention from streamers who are always looking for another FoTM multiplayer game to fuck around with in their friends.
Good for Peak and their devs.
One of my favorite multiplayer games since lethal company. Its dope the map changes everyday and getting all the badges is a fun challenge. My buddy everyday after work tries to do 1 solo run to the top and he just sends me a picture of his death lmao. Games great
Feels like a lot of these indie titles become YouTube sensations and get to be a flash in the pan, so to speak.
Not sure if that’s good or not, but it’s certainly interesting.
How long before we’re drowning in shovel ware, asset flip, AI cover, knock offs with names like “Peak Mountain simulator 2025 Climbing challenge” by a dozen different scam developers in our game store pages….
I give it a week.
It’s peak
This is so peak!
Proximity chat is such an amazing addition in these type of games.
Make a goofy looking game, make it super wacky so streamers can scream and go crazy while playing it, sell millions of copies. Control C, Control V
That’s peak gaming right there
These devs deserve the success. It’s really fun with friends and the daily map changes always give you new paths to solve. It really feels like a unique genre that no game really did this way.
I doubt this is a game that you will pump 200+ hours into, but for $7 for will get some really fun evenings
I give it 2 more weeks until streamers move onto something else.
