Suds

Suds is a cooperative game about brave little creatures called Suds defending their flower-filled village from invading monster slimes. You play alone or with friends across four modes: Hero, Corrida, Endless and Infection. Hero, Corrida and Endless support solo play; Endless and Infection can be played online with up to four friends.

Rescue your friends

In Hero, you work through 15 handmade levels to free your friends from cages and lead them to safety. Floor buttons open the cages, but each stays pressed only briefly, so you must activate them all before the first one resets. Freed friends follow you in a line, and they count as rescued only when you bring them to the safe room while keeping them away from slimes.

Some friends emerge with a fever. Stand beside them and hold the button to cure them before too long passes. Locked doors require a key won from a golden guard or a solution to the symbols on the floor. Each level offers three stars: one for finishing, one for bringing everyone home and one for finding the bronze, silver and gold treasure slimes. Hero also has an endless version focused on rescuing as many friends as possible.

Every fifth level ends in a greenhouse, where a giant carnivorous plant covers the final cage. Defeat it to free your friend. The Green Gorger bites and spits out slimes; the Blue Maw bites, spits and sprays, and waits behind a locked door. The Crimson Crown grows back in a new colour each time you break its health bar, changing from green to yellow to red and hitting harder with each bloom.

Survive the waves

In Endless, monster slimes attack in unending waves, growing faster and tougher with each one. Your team needs to survive, but the winner is the player with the most points, even if they fall during the battle.

Face the infected

Corrida pits you against infected enemies that charge at you. They are your size rather than giant bosses, making them fast and tricky. Dodge them, lure them into walls and use their speed against them; a much larger enemy waits in the ring during the final wave.

Keep the team alive

Infection is a co-op survival mode for two to four players. One teammate at a time catches a fever that drains their health, and it passes from player to player so everyone gets a turn. Stand close to cure an infected teammate, throw them medicine and help up anyone who falls. If one player is lost, the whole team loses; hold on together until the clock runs out.

Items and multiplayer

You can save power-ups and use them when needed. The bomb clears the floor, the pulse pushes nearby slimes away, and the freeze turns everything in the room to ice. A tornado power-up turns you into a spinning tornado for seven seconds, and other special items are hidden in the game.

Online matches support two to four players. Create a private match and share its code, invite a friend or use matchmaking. Players vote on the mode and choose their colours, while bots fill any empty player slots. Solo modes have global leaderboards, and the game has 19 achievements.
