'Cranked Up' Gets Steam Early Access Date - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on April 2, 2020 @ 6:00 a.m. PDT

Cranked Up is a challenging and adventurous platformer where animal donuts have rockets and try to save their favorite cup of coffee - Mr. Mug.

An evil Hawaiian pizza has taken over, captured your favorite cup of coffee and threatens to cover all the world's food with pineapple. Your mission will be to save the cup (and the world at the same time).

Yup - it’s not supposed to make much sense...

Featuring a full single-player campaign and even more fun with friends in the 4-player co-op mode (both online and offline), players can expect hours of rocket-boosted fun as they traverse a variety of zany environments and challenges. Cranked Up is set to surprise with a set of unusual and engaging characters and in an offbeat universe that no one really understands (not even the developers).


Cranked Up is coming to Steam Early Access on May 19, 2020 for $14.99 USD, complete with over 40 levels, hidden collectibles, secret levels, and unlockable exclusive characters. The developers see the Early Access launch as the beginning, though, planning a ton of additional content in the lead-up to the full launch. 

“The first goal of early access is to give us the time to create the best game possible. We want to create a relationship based on collaboration and trust with our players. For this we have created a Discord server that will be used to communicate directly with you, take your feedback on the game (improvement ideas, feedback, bug report ...) or inform you about the latest updates.”

“We estimate the game to remain in Early Access for some months of development which will be needed before the game is ready to come out of early access. This should bring the game out in the year 2020. But at this stage it is difficult for us to give a precise release date.”

Key Features:

  • Roll, jump, bounce and use a rocket-boosted donut to discover and explore increasingly more challenging levels - 40 in total! Finish each level by dunking in a cup of coffee.
  • Play with up to four friends cooperatively in a completely offbeat universe, filled with sugar power-ups, evil pizza slices, and other bizarro elements. It’s not supposed to make any sense! 
  • Save Mr. Mug - everyone’s favorite cup of coffee - thwart a pineapple, and find out who is controlling the world in a complete single-player campaign. Revisit levels to collect hidden donuts, finish them with friends in a shared effort, or go head-to-head and break a pal’s time record in Versus mode.
  • Unlock multiple donut characters and customize your own gang of glazed and sweetened ring-shaped fried dough. Yummy! 

Cranked Up is coming to Steam Early Access on May 19, 2020 for $14.99 USD.
