Unrated as of September 2024, but will go for E14 (comic mischief)

  • Rage inducing co-op; players must coordinate character movements, limbs, and actions to progress

  • Story:

    • 2 broke idiots (Walter and Jellybean) want to buy an oddity on the internet

    • They send out spam mail about “Hot witches in your area” 

    • Wizard comes through computer, gets mad about being scammed, and curses them

    • Now they must follow him to get him to reverse the curse

In Development: Preview!

Chumps Chained

This project was pitched by WVU students Joshua Hinkle and Cadence Kline to MonRiverGames in the Summer 2024 pitch competition and was one of two winners. It's interesting two player mechanics and quirky, silly story won us over. Follow their development blog to keep up to date on their process. They demo'd a build for the first time during the 2024 BitBridge Halloween Showcase and then again during Demo Day at WVU.  They will be showing their latest build at GDC Play 2025 as part of WVU's MonRiverGames Table. This was determined by group vote of all participating WVU GDC Trip members.
