What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game has a lot of room to grow and change still. I'd love to see how players react and respond to help me better shape the final product.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I'll be aiming to improve the game for as long as is needed but would like to have the game completed within a year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full release of the game is planned to expand on character progression, with broader customization options, more gear to discover, and a wider variety of enemies and locations.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently there are a handful of enemies, quite a few areas in the world to explore, and 9 weapons (4 of which can be upgraded).

The game supports up to 8 players at a time in a world and has a completed save/load system to keep your progress.

There is a slew of personal settings to ensure a good user experience. This includes audio options, graphics settings, and control rebinding.

The game is stable, has a moderate amount of content, and has had a few rounds of quality-of-life features added.

See the "About This" section for more information regarding what is currently available in the game.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I do not intend to change the price after leaving early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“This project was made under a quick-turn-around-time as a test of my solo-development skills, with the goal of getting the game in front of players and let the community's gameplay guide our future development.”

About This Game

Play Co-op PvE with up to 8 friends!!

The world is quiet… a little dusty… and very, very sticky. Gum Squad drops you into wide open fields and sleepy deserts where gum became the world’s favorite resource, and maybe its biggest mistake. With a humble peashooter and a few friends by your side, you’ll wander curious places, uncover what went wrong, and slowly build yourself up from whatever you can scavenge.

There’s no rush but the danger is real. Enemies move with intent, take cover, and push back when they spot you, turning calm exploration into sudden, focused firefights. Between trips, tune your loadout, manage your inventory, and customize your character before heading out again.

A quiet world, a sticky problem, and just enough trouble to keep things interesting.

Created by a human

Made by one silly gal named Fern, with the love and support of the whole FreshWaterFern community. This game was put together in 90 days as a silly experiment.
