About the Game

Hunt down a dastardly cake thief and destroy his minions using pebbles, bubbles, brute strength, or… your tongue? Play with up to four friends online to save the party in the name of The Birthday Boys!

Who would steal a birthday cake? Who is this portal-jumping pastry pilferer? Is he acting alone? If he can summon portals, what else can he do?

You’ll discover the answers as you battle across realms, face off against formidable bosses, and unravel the mystery one slice at a time. Your mission: get the cake back and save the party.

With up to four friends online, play as one of four classic archetypes, each with their own unique playstyle. Whether you prefer tanking for the party behind your behemoth tongue as Carrots, dishing out “splash” damage as Squeaky , throwing hands as "The Business", or rock-chucking from afar as Big Samantha, every adventure will be a bigger, badder party than the last...

Fight your way through varied realms, each with deadly enemies, environmental hazards, and bosses who take their cake stealing very seriously. Master action combat with quick combos, charged attacks, dodges, and parries, and unlock new abilities as you level up your hero.

Plus, find collectibles, exciting secrets, and shiny loot. It’s a birthday party after all!

Play co-op with up to four friends online, or you can also dive in solo if you’re feeling brave. Combine your unique class abilities to control crowds, deal big damage, and keep each other alive when things get dicey. Or don’t, and just let your friends do all the work 🙂.

It doesn’t have to be your birthday to make a wish. RSVP to the party by wishlisting The Birthday Boys, so you’re ready when the cake (and chaos) arrives!
