As we enter the final 2 hours we just want to say thank you to everyone who did find us and check out our little rat game. It’s been such a pleasure to see so many folks get into mischief and find all the joy and laughter in playing inside the literal and metaphorical playground we’ve built 🛝❤️🐀

This has a link to a super quick form to fill out - it took me less than 5 minutes and they did all the hard work! Please take a moment to take an action ❤️
The Senate is expected to vote TODAY on a bill that would ban trans women & girls from playing school sports. The House passed the same bill last month, so if it passes the Senate, it will be sent to Trump's desk.

Tell your reps to vote no:
Urgent: Tell the Senate to Oppose Attacks on Transgender Students
Protect All Women's and Girls’ Right to Play

Mischief is one of my favorite games I played this NextFest and it’s getting tragically overlooked.

A sandbox boss-rush for up to 4 players that has you all playing as a gang of rats up against fun and unique encounters that make it feel kinda like if Mario Party was a co-op adventure game.

Even if you're a certified business monster with terminal money brain, why would you permanently cut off a wildly successful line of future revenue just to save some costs in the short term? It can't just be that they're stupid right? I know layoffs are trendy among sociopaths right now but come on.

In summer '23, 4 friends found a question: should we be putting out our own game(s)?

Yes. Everyone should have the chance to create together and share. Our stars had aligned.

Now, with a demo on #Steam, our dream relies on you! Play Mischief today!

We're stoked to be part of #CouchCoopFest, really hoping for a big moment here as a studio!

A year and a half ago we took a big risk pivoting into #gamedev, and making this game has already made that all worth it.

We want to share that joy with you, but you'll have to go play it to cash that in!
Time to squeak up!
The demo of our #IndieGame, Mischief, is part of #CouchCoopFest on Steam! 🎮

🧑‍🤝‍🧑🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Mischief is made by 4 friends, for (up to) 4 friends.

🐀 Become a ragtag team of #rats to prove that whimsy will always persevere!

The IFPA will continue to allow trans women to compete in Women’s Pinball tournaments.

Genuinely thrilled that the pinball community, a community that I’ve dedicated so much of my life to, is willing to vocally support trans people right now
