Oh gosh, this looks delightful. I might’ve missed when it dropped three years ago, but this is some properly charming stuff. Hand-drawn little wobblers named Wums and Fnakkers? Earnest themes of friendship and self-improvement? Sign me the heck up for that.

If you also missed out, today might be the perfect time to check it out – Wuppo is ready to go out with a wibbly wobbly bang thanks to a big free update.Today’s Definitive Edition update finally lets you drop into Wuppo with a friend. A new trailer for the free update shows off some bouncy co-op boss battles, among other new arrivals to the land of the Wums. It might kick off looking like a cutesy Metroid, but Abby Denton found a game all about when she looked at Wuppo for us back in 2017. Sure, there’s absolutely a video game going on here – you can run and jump and fight big bosses with a health bar that goes down. But Wuppo wants you to hang about, make friends, grab an ice cream and queue up for fairground rides.Adding a friend on the couch to join your friends on the screen seems only natural, really. A pal can now jump in as the delightfully-named Denksnavel to help take on bosses or hunt for curiosities.Developers Knuist & Perzik say this will be the last update before moving onto their next game. Leaving Wuppo on a high, they’ve tightened up the difficulty curve and given the town another coat of polish.

Wuppo is a two man passion project, with hand-drawn visuals, an extensive soundtrack and a huge world to explore. FEATURES Explore a wondrous world filled with Wums, Fnakkers and other strange creatures. Resolve an ancient conflict on your quest for a new home. Use items and social skills to overcome diverse challenges. Wuppo is a Puzzle-Platformer with Metroidvania level structure where players play as a 'Wum' who gets kicked out of the hotel he's staying in and ends up finding himself on an adventure involving the conflicts between the various odd races of the land. Wuppo is a game that isn't going to impress anyone graphically.

The soundtrack’s been buffed up with some extra tracks, and there’s a new quiz game to check out at one of the train stations. You can check out the, but mind the spoilers.Wuppo is available on for £11 and for £12.29. Hold on, though – because the Definitive Edition is bringing a 50% price cut on Steam through today, starting at 6pm (10am Pacific).

Wuppo: Definitive Edition is now available on Steam (Windows & Mac), Nintendo Switch and GOG!

BIG THANK YOU

First of all, BIG THANK YOU to everyone that shared Wuppo, streamed Wuppo, left a good review, provided us with feedback, begged for a Switch version, or just did anything at all to help us show this game to the world. Wuppo has been an incredibly important part of (more than 1/3rd of) our entire lives. Thanks to you, we were able to continue working on it for so long and make it as good as we possibly can.

Definitive Edition Description:

We’ve constantly been updating Wuppo since its release in 2016. Adding Boss Run, a minimap, and many more things. But we haven’t shared anything that we’ve been working on for the past year. We took a good hard look at Wuppo and all the feedback we’ve been getting, and tried to finetune.. basically everything. We added some cutscenes, redesigned some bosses, added visual improvements, refined the soundtrack, added some additional content, created solutions for potentially frustrating parts. Our main purpose was to finetune the experience for as many players as possible from beginning to end. So it is the same Wuppo you know & love, but better!

Here I'll list some of the changes. Beware of SPOILERS.

tl;dr: Game is better.

This will be the final big update for Wuppo, as we’ll be moving on to our new game now. If you like Wuppo: Definitive Edition, please share it with your friends/family, let us know in a steam review, tell your favorite streamer to play it. Thanks x 1000!

Please follow us on Twitter for updates on our projects and/or join our Discord community chat if you're looking for other Wuppo friends :D

Cheers!
