THUMPER follow-up THRASHER gets first Steam demo ahead of launch

As part of the VR Forever Steam event, Puddle today released the first Steam demo of their game THRASHER. The game was previously only available for Meta Quest & Apple Vision Pro, winning numerous industry awards.

The Steam version, full of space eels and mysterious monoliths, is playable for the first time in non-VR (flatscreen) and optimised for PC, SteamDeck and SteamVR. The demo will remain online until the end of Steam Next Fest coming up next month.

THRASHER's 2D & PCVR Steam release is planned for later in the year.

About the game
Winner of Apple’s 2024 Vision Pro Game of the Year and released on Quest in 2024, THRASHER is an arcade odyssey and audiovisual experience. Guide a magnificent space eel, elegantly swooping and thrashing it through mesmerizing alien worlds in the ultimate race for survival. Dive into the game's deep combo system to top the leaderboards or simply vibe inside the breathtaking landscapes. The 2D version has been reworked to capture the magic of the VR version but shine on traditional platforms.
