Press release:
Thursday 16th July 2026, Cardiff, UK – Developer Cloth Cat Games, and indie publisher Curveball Games have today revealed a deep dive into the volatile Volcano level for upcoming multiplayer party game Planted!. Launching later this year on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, Planted! invites players to sow, grow, and throw their way to victory in a series of unique arenas, each with their own challenges and features, offering up cultivated chaos for up to four players.

The Volcano level, shown today as part of the Convergence showcase, puts players’ platforming prowess to the test as they work to grow their produce under less than ideal conditions (lava, lots of lava). The level will see players jump between circling platforms as they attempt to grow (and throw) their produce to rack up points, all while keeping an eye on the ever hungry Volcano God, who will randomly demand request a specific vegetable to keep them appeased. Failure to comply will result in an explosive outburst, with fireballs not only knocking players on their grass, but destroying what little allotment real estate remains.

Planted! Key Features

● Grow into the Role – Learn the ropes, discover your favourite tactics and be ready to adapt to become an unstoppable growing machine!

● Sow, Grow and Throw – Play across 8 diverse environments, each with unique twists, turns and challenges.
