Press release:
The Austin-based (Texas, the US) indie games publisher Devolver Digital and Paris-based (France) indie games developer Pastagames, today announced with great thrill and joy that their joyful and chaotic multiplayer platformer “KarmaZoo“, is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) in 2023.

Take control of one of 50 cute pixelated animal avatars, using their unique abilities to help you and your crew find bliss in cooperation. Be a team player—even if it means heroically sacrificing yourself—and you’ll harvest the most precious resource of all: sweet, sweet Karma.

In Loop mode you’ll work together—with old friends or new ones you’ve met online—to tackle a series of increasingly challenging, dynamic levels that adapt to the size of your team and the characters you’ve chosen. The beauty of KarmaZoo is that every good thing you do, one way or another, earns you the Karma you need to unlock new characters for future Loops.

Or if you’re feeling competitive, Totem mode lets up to 8 players go head-to-head in a series of frantic, quick-fire minigames.

Approachable gameplay, cross-platform support between PC and consoles, a quirky emote-based communication system, and support for 22 languages means anyone, anywhere, can play KarmaZoo and help their team earn Karma.

KarmaZoo is set to launch in 2023. Check out karmazoogame.com for more information.
