Rumble Club Interview: Free-To-Play Brawling, Stream-Friendly Game Design, & Future Plans

When it comes to games focused on goofy fun, is the new kid on the block. Developed by Lightfox Games and published by Mad Mushroom, this goofy party brawler bears an obvious resemblance to cartoony physics-based titles like and, throwing twenty players into an arena to duke it out in various challenges. It's easy and free to pick up and play, and the element of chaos means that even newcomers should have a good chance against veterans.

It's a genre with a lot of appeal for streamers and their viewership, and is making strides to leverage that.
