Sponge Break transforms players into sponges escaping the tyranny of the kitchen sink on a raft held together by little more than wishful thinking.

The game features drop-in co-op, full solo support, proximity voice chat with sponges that lip-sync to players’ voices and physics-driven raft traversal where one mistake can flip the raft, scattering gear, dealing damage and quickly ending the team’s escape.

In Sponge Break, the rules are simple: you're a sponge. You're on a raft. The river is trying to destroy you. Chaos everywhere. You and up to 3 friends are trying to escape, crammed onto a raft and armed with your trusty plunger-hook.

Use proximity voice chat to work together (or don’t), steering the raft together down the rapids to freedom. Solve puzzles to open pathways, navigate environmental dangers, avoid being set on fire and fight beavers… yes: beavers.

Freedom is almost within reach!

Goose Byte Games and Balor Games announced that Sponge Break will set sail July 30, 2026 on PC (Steam) for $7.99 USD.

Since its reveal earlier this month, Sponge Break has been making waves with creators around the world, soaking up more than 26 million views of shared shenanigans across streaming and social media platforms as well as 500,000 minutes played in the playtest.

Players can get an early look at the game, and become part of a growing community of fellow sponges, by joining the official playtest before it ends on July 28.

Key Features:

• 1 to 4 sponges with drop-in co-op gameplay. That friend who's always "5 minutes away" can show up 40 minutes late and immediately make it worse. Playable solo too, no judgment.
• Proximity voice chat. Will you sing a shanty, scream a warning or calmly listen to your crew panic in real time?
• Real physics, real consequences. Navigate down the world’s most dangerous rapids. Steer wrong, flip it and lose all your stuff. Take a hit, and the raft will come apart under you. 
• Actual teamwork tools. A plunger that functions as a grappling hook lets players grab any object that isn't bolted down, along with a shared raft stash for the loot you'll definitely lose.
• 100+ unlockable cosmetic options. Customize your sponge’s eyes, eyebrows, mouths, hats, your inflatable buoys, even your plunger. Plus emotes, for celebrating a clean run or pointing very clearly at whoever blew it… It was Doug. It's always Doug.
• Multiple biomes with a variety of hazards. The full journey will take you through sewers, rivers, abandoned facilities, and more! Hang out at safehouses between levels to patch up, revive, restock and have a quick argument before setting sail again.
