A mishap, a portal made of puke, and suddenly Catfish and his friends are stranded in the mysterious Trimension G, at the foot of a gigantic volcano. The homeland of the Gørkjes is no place for vacationers, but the four Amigos are unstoppable. Instead of despairing, they take on a death-defying race to the summit, where the only portal back to their world awaits!

Background
After nearly two years of development, developer Moritz Petzka (MoFX) and designer Basuramor present their first joint project: a skill-based cartoon multiplayer experience inspired by the quirky comics around Catfish and his Amigos. From the beginning, the focus was on precise controls with stable performance - the foundation for fast, reaction-driven gameplay, local and directly on the couch with friends. The team is supported by composer Tom Redburn (imkamicafe), who provides the perfect soundtrack to deliver the right amount of energy.
