Apogee Entertainment’s much-anticipated co-op platformer, “Bread & Fred”, developed by Sand Castles Studio, has finally arrived. And guess where? Right onto our beloved PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG!
With an impressive record of over 1.4 million demo downloads and a staggering 400,000 wishlists, the adorable yet challenging Bread & Fred has been turning heads and raising anticipation levels through the roof. And why wouldn’t it? The mountainous adventure full of tandem leaps and endless fun is exactly what we gamers have been craving!
Now, Bread & Fred isn’t just about all play and no brain work. You’ll be jumping, clinging and swinging across massive gaps and brain-teasing obstacles, which require perfect sync if you’re playing in couch co-op or online multiplayer mode via Steam remote play. In fact, the jump from simple snow to moving platforms and crumbling floors in the cavernous Mines makes for a thrilling gaming experience.
Don’t fancy playing with a buddy? No problem, Bread & Fred have got you covered. You can tether to Jeff, a literal dead weight rock, and embark on a single-player solo-climb. But be warned, timing is critical in this icy universe where one false step can lead to hilarious penguin-pounding plummets.
As you navigate through cliffs and chasms, each step laced with laughter and mayhem, you can use in-game emotes for countdowns and even engage in a quick game of Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide who takes the lead. And when the inevitable falls happen, you’ve got assist options to ease the frosty sting of lost progress.
To top it all off, you’ve got a dynamic music system and a chill original soundtrack by Tomás Palazzi that is sure to enhance your ice-climbing journey.
So, whether you’re a dynamic duo or a solo climber, it’s time to head over to Steam, Epic Games Store or GOG * and grab your copy of Bread & Fred for $14.99 or local equivalent. (Editors Note: We could not find the listing on Epic Game Store and GoG was showing the game as coming soon, we’ll update the article as soon as we have live links for you.)
