If you thought you’ve seen everything the party game genre has to offer, think again. Indie game developer Dreamonaut Studio has officially joined forces with publisher Judatone Studios in a publishing agreement to bring gamers the absolute wildest firefighting simulator ever conceived: FiresOut!
Forget heavy-duty fire hoses, foam extinguishers, or high-tech emergency response gear. In FiresOut!, your primary tool for battling infernos and rescuing civilians is Mr. Glug Glug—a water-spouting goldfish who calls a portable toilet his home.
Here is everything you need to know about this upcoming chaotic co-op title and why it should immediately be on your gaming radar.
What is FiresOut!?
FiresOut! is a top-down, party-style co-op game for 1 to 4 players, available for both local couch co-op and online multiplayer. Players take on the roles of rookie animal interns working for the Super Hazard Intervention Taskforce. Unsurprisingly, your department seems to have severely mismanaged its budget, leaving you and your crew to handle extreme emergencies with absurd improvisations.
The premise is straightforward: put out blazes, navigate hazardous environments, and rescue victims. However, the execution is pure, unadulterated comedy.
Key Features to Expect
- Meet Mr. Glug Glug: Ditch standard tools—your main fire hose is a live goldfish living inside a toilet tank. Aiming Mr. Glug Glug generates massive recoil, forcing team members to coordinate movement and hold on tight while blasting streams of water at spreading blazes.
- Chaotic Physics & Fire Hazards: You’ll face tight corridors, crumbling stairs, unpredictable debris, exploding fireballs, and even falling meteorites across 5 wacky worlds with unique gameplay mechanics.
- Yeet the Victims (Safely!): Saving civilians requires you to douse them first before hauling them out. Feeling pressed for time? You can carry victims to safety or literally yeet them across the room. (Don’t worry, they’re covered by insurance!)
- 1–4 Player Mayhem: Tackle the chaos solo if you dare, or gather up to three friends locally or online for high-stress teamwork that will either strengthen your friendships or completely destroy them in hilarious fashion.
Why the Partnership Matters
Originally conceived as an award-winning student final-year project, FiresOut! quickly turned heads across the indie scene—taking home top accolades like the Best Student Game Award at the Level Up KL SEA Game Awards.
By signing a publishing deal with Judatone Studios, developer Dreamonaut Studio secures the support and firepower needed to polish FiresOut! into a full-fledged commercial hit. For fans of game series like Overcooked!, Moving Out, or Tools Up!, this partnership signals that another top-tier local and online multiplayer title is heading our way.
