Two developers, one shared repo, and a lot of melted plans.
Who we are
A small studio with a big mess
Active Meltdown is a small indie studio. We make bright, chunky games for PC and for Roblox, and we test all of them the same way: by making our friends play until something breaks.
Most of what we make is friendslop. Online co-op that gets a hundred times better the moment your friends join, where the best stories come from things going wrong. Now and then we make something calmer, in the same bright style.

What we make
Friendslop, made with love
Think R.E.P.O., PEAK, Lethal Company and R.V. There Yet?: easy to pick up, hard to finish, and full of moments your group chat will bring up for years.
-
Better with friends
Built for online co-op first. Grab a lobby, get on voice chat, start arguing.
-
Fun to fail
Wobbly physics, shared fate and someone to blame. The best stories come from things going wrong.
-
Bright and chunky
Stylized, colorful worlds with simple, readable shapes. Never realistic, always fun to watch fall apart.
-
Small team, big mess
Two developers making the games we want to play with our own friends, and the odd serious one too.
How we make them
Two kinds of games
-
On PC
Online co-op for 1 to 4 players, built in Unreal Engine 5 and coming to Steam. Boulder Heads! is the first one.
-
On Roblox
Games you play right inside Roblox, built in Roblox Studio with Luau. Two of them have names now. Both are still locked in the lab.
-
The team
Two developers. Names and faces are coming, once we've agreed which photos are the least embarrassing.
