THRASHER Steam Release Now Targeting First Half Of 2025

We've been super hard at work on the Steam release of THRASHER, and have made the hard decision to push the release until 2025. We know this might be disappointing to folks who have been waiting patiently, but just know that we're doing our very best to make sure this version lives up to our quality standards. It turns out that solving for the best version of the game on all of its intended platforms and controllers takes a bit longer for our 2 person team than originally intended. We're really excited about how things are shaping up and can't wait for all of you to try the game when it's ready!

If you want to see what we've been up to and live in the Boston area, we'll be publicly showcasing new versions of the game on December 15, 2024 at the Boston Festival of Indie Games:

We're hoping to participate in more events next year in the lead up to the release, so stay tuned!!

Thrasher release date estimate, trailers, and latest news

When is the Thrasher release date? Thrasher is a new arcade psychedelic racer from the composer and artist behind Thumper, where you control a space eel that must drift across tight turns at a breakneck pace. It's another music game with arcade-like combat, and it'll be coming to VR first, with flatscreen versions arriving later.

If you own one of the best VR headsets, games like Thrasher allow you to immerse yourself in a musical experience that can't easily capture the same effect outside virtual reality. So, if you enjoyed musical experiences like Rez Infinite and Beat Saber or raved along to Tetris Effect, here's everything you need to know about the Thrasher release date.

Introducing THRASHER, cosmic racer with space eels and wild boss battles

Hi there!

We are Puddle, AKA Brian Gibson (Thumper) and Mike Mandel (Rock Band, Fuser, Fantasia: Music Evolved). You might also know Brian as the bassist for the band Lightning bolt. This is our new game, THRASHER.

THRASHER is a cosmic racer and essential audiovisual experience. Swoop, dash and thrash across the void at breakneck speed, busting through obstacles and stacking up combos as you battle towards the next wild boss.

Alongside out-of-this-world visuals, there’s also a thumping soundtrack brought to life with 3D spatial audio, so you can truly lose yourself in the sonic spectacle.

We plan to release the VR version next year, with flatscreen versions to follow sometime after. That’s all the news we have for now. Make sure to follow for more updates!
Thanks,
Puddle
