Description
Royal Vermin is what happens when you toss Worms and Smash Bros into a blender and hit Ultra Creamy. You end up with adorable little vermins fighting to sit on the junkyard throne which is, of course, a golden toilet!
It’s a physics-based party brawler where 2 to 4 players throw garbage at each other on trash piles that have absolutely no structural integrity. There’s something strangely satisfying about throwing trash at your friends’ faces… You get hooked fast!
Free to play on Steam and Nintendo Switch, with a day-1 DLC that adds more levels, characters, skins, and hats.

Press Quotes
"We've been working on couch games for 10 years, and Royal Vermin is definitely the game we screamed and laughed the most during development."
Gabriel Le Breton , Tobafeu Studio
"Royal Vermin is the ultimate proof that we have all the craftspeople we need in Saguenay to make a game worthy of the Nintendo Switch!"
Samuel Taillon , Tobafeu Studio
"Royal Vermin is a love letter to all the party games that lit up our evenings. It's also a hate letter for all the times Gabriel repeatedly dashed into my face."
