Sponge Break is a physics-based co-op survival game in which one to four players control sponges attempting to escape down a treacherous river aboard a fragile raft, steering through rapids, environmental hazards, and hostile wildlife. It supports drop-in co-op and solo play, and features proximity voice chat with sponges that lip-sync to player speech. Players use a plunger that doubles as a grappling hook, throw loose objects, and store loot in a shared raft stash, while a physics system governs raft handling and damage. Progression is level-based across multiple biomes such as sewers, rivers, and abandoned facilities, with safehouses between levels for repairing, reviving, and restocking, alongside over 100 unlockable cosmetic options, emotes, controller support, and a range of side activities.
VERY buggy. We'd randomly get pulled off the raft or it would shoot into the sky for no reason. Normally i like janky games but its a bit much.
Generally a very fun and interesting game idea I haven't seen anywhere else.
Sadly, it's almost unplayable with the amount of lags and glitches—I just feel like the game isn't ready yet. It's also very hard to see and steer with more than two players on the raft (a third-person mode just for the raft would be fire!).
The game also needs to be optimized...
Generally fire, but very buggy, VoiceChat glitches and the raft is also buggy, game needs a better optimization and more clear instructions for new players.
Whats not to love. I think its so fun! only played a little with my twin but i give a 10/10 thus far
Still a little clunky here and there for me when doing big drops on the raft and then bugging under the water while "on the raft" but still a fun game for sure and the dev team is really listening to their players which is a great thing.
