“Mother Machine is an entertaining multiplayer action platformer that’s simple to get to grips with and a ton of fun to play with others. There’s always a fresh expedition waiting to swing, burp, and fart your way through, chuckling with mates as you do so.”

About This Game

Do the bidding of your loving mechanical Mother and playfully climb, jump, and platform through a physical world full of emergent surprises. 

Our groundbreaking procedural generation sets a new standard, merging handcrafted design with limitless variety. Every run offers new challenges and discoveries waiting to be explored.

The Mother Machine base game includes the Ashen Spores cave type, the full Mother’s Secret story campaign, and six unique Goal Types.

MAYHEM WITH FRIENDS

  • Experience unique moments with friends. Up to 4 players can complete Mother's missions and explore the story behind your purpose on this alien world. 

  • Combine your group's abilities and overcome tricky obstacles: explore, evolve, adapt. There is never one single solution.

  • Hungry for more? Mother always has missions for you and your friends to complete - just make sure to come back in one piece!

EXPLORE ALIEN CAVES

  • Explore the endlessly replayable cave network of a mysterious alien planet, brimming with biodiversity and peculiar life-forms. Flora or Fauna, creatively utilize everything to your advantage, and when in doubt - EAT IT!

  • Sharpen your claws and climb everywhere - walls and ceilings included.

  • But even the most adept creatures will need some creative thinking to explore everything the caves have to offer - unleash your inner chaos gremlin!

CUSTOMIZE YOUR CHAOS

  • Cute or chaotic? Thanks to Mother you can be both, and more!

  • Complete missions in the wild and unlock unique mutations as a reward. Extend your gameplay options and change up your playstyle for future runs.

  • Fart your way out of caves into safety, barf up projectiles to throw at foes (and friends) or use your rock skin fart to shield yourself and your friends from danger.

  • Unlock a vast range of patterns, colours, ears and more to customize your look. Create your unique little creature, ready to cause chaos and do Mother's bidding.
