What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Straight talk: Havocado's original studio ran out of money, and work on the game stopped in 2020. I'm Jordi, the owner. I kept the IP, and I never stopped wanting to finish this game. The fans deserve a 1.0, and honestly, so do I.

Havocado is back in development. It's just me, in my spare time, building it with the help of AI coding tools. I'm a big fan of AI when it's used the right way, and it's what makes it possible for one person to finish what a whole studio started.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Until it's ready for a proper 1.0. There's no fixed date: updates come first, and 1.0 ships when the game is fun and stable for everyone, including people who play alone. The first big update is out now, and smaller updates follow every few weeks.”

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

“The first big update added bots, twist arenas, new weapons and pickups, 50 player levels with Locker unlocks, achievements and a lot of fixes. Since then, Party Night has arrived: a couch mode for a whole evening, with night scores, end-of-night awards, Teams 2v2 and Co-op vs Bots. Here's what I'm working on next:
  • Fixes for bugs from your reviews: the mouse getting stuck after joining a lobby, limbs getting stuck, music that loops too quickly, and a crash on quit
  • Steam Deck support, and Mac and Linux builds
  • More weapons, levels, unlocks and co-op modes
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Fully playable: up to 4 players on one screen and up to 8 online, with bots filling empty seats. Fight each other, or team up on one couch in Co-op vs Bots and Teams 2v2. 59 arenas plus 8 twist arenas, 22 Trials with world leaderboards, more than 60 weapons, 50 player levels and 35 Steam achievements.”

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

“The price won't go up at 1.0.”

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

“I read everything: every review, the forums and the discussions. A lot of the first update came straight from your reviews. Got ideas, feedback or a bug? Post it in the Steam discussions. I'm listening, and we're going to make this 1.0 absolutely epic.”

About This Game

Havocado is a wobbly ragdoll party brawler for up to 4 friends on one couch or 8 players online. Grab, punch and throw each other around, pick up something ridiculous, and watch every plan fall apart in the funniest way possible.

Chaos for everyone

  • Couch and online: up to 4 players on one shared screen and up to 8 online. Couch players can even join online games together from one PC.

  • Team up on the couch: Party Night adds Co-op vs Bots and Teams 2v2, so up to 4 friends can fight side by side for a whole evening, with night scores and end-of-night awards.

  • Remote Play Together: only one of you needs to own the game.

  • Bots fill empty seats, so there's always a fight, even when you play alone.

  • Full controller support, plus keyboard and mouse.

Make it worse

  • More than 60 weapons and items, from the shark launcher and the black hole gun to the Leaf Blower and the Swap Gun.

  • Drivable and flyable vehicles, with guns.

  • 59 arenas, plus 8 twist arenas that put a ridiculous new rule on a familiar map: Rising Tide, Sumo Shrink, Shark Week, Hot Potato and more.

  • Round mutators like Low Gravity, Weapon Rain and Bouncy World.

  • Endless, Chaos and Classic modes, plus 22 Trials with world leaderboards.

A reason to keep playing

  • 50 player levels, with your level on your name tag.

  • The Locker: 49 cosmetic unlocks, 15 skin colours and 16 epic patterned skins.

  • Daily and weekly challenges, and funny end-of-match awards.

  • 35 Steam achievements and Steam Cloud saves.

Back in development

Havocado's original studio ran out of money, and the game was left unfinished. I'm Jordi, the owner, and I'm finishing it myself, building it with the help of AI. The first big update is out, smaller ones follow every few weeks, and I read every review and discussion. We're going to make 1.0 absolutely epic.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Havocado was built by a small studio in 2019. Today it’s being finished by its solo owner, who uses AI tools to help write new code. All characters, in-game art, levels, physics and core gameplay were made by people. The game does not generate any AI content while you play.

Pre-generated with AI tools and reviewed by us: new music tracks (Suno, commercial license; the original 2019 soundtrack can be picked in Settings > Sound > SOUNDTRACK), some in-game and store text, and the translations of the store page and game text. All store, library and event art is original Havocado artwork, and screenshots and trailer footage are real gameplay.
