About the Game

From the artist & composer behind the cult hit THUMPER comes THRASHER, a mind-melting odyssey - an arcade game sent to you from another world.  Guide a magnificent space eel, elegantly swooping and thrashing it through mesmerizing alien landscapes. Race to evolve your eel from a tiny worm into a mega beast, taking on wild bosses through 27 stages across 9 psychedelic realms. Climb the leaderboards by diving into the unique circle-based combo system, or simply vibe out inside the breathtaking but unsettling landscapes.  Experience the award-winning game on PC, Steam Deck and VR platforms.

TRANSCEND SPACETIME BY EEL

Ride the space eel into a flow inducing state where music, visuals, and gameplay mesh into one transcendent experience. Journey from the depths of primordial gloom to the heights of celestial bliss, culminating in a heart pounding reckoning with a cosmic baby god.

YOU VS THE UNIVERSE

Swoop, dash and thrash at breakneck speed, busting through obstacles and stacking up combos using the game’s unique circle-based mechanic, leading to nine jaw dropping encounters with mysterious leviathans that will challenge your skills, and your sanity.

POWER UP

Deploy power-ups to supercharge your space eel and max out your combos. Create a destructive rainbow spray of bullets, bulldoze everything in a blaze of color and light, or slow things down to create a perfect path through the chaos.

SOUND AND FURY

Lose yourself in the enthralling soundtrack created by designer Brian Gibson, bassist for the band Lightning Bolt. THRASHER is a spatial audio and haptics showcase, creating a stunning sensory experience.

CHILL OR CHALLENGE

Vibe out and enjoy the wild journey, or push yourself to the limit by chaining together massive combos to worm your way up the rankings. Speed purists can explore the Time Trial mode or attempt the Play+ mode for the ultimate challenge.
