New Friendslop Game on Steam Combines PEAK with Forklifts and Warehouse Hijinks (& It’s Designed to Make That 1 Friend Crash Out)

by

“Friendslop” is a term that’s become popular recently to describe co-op games that are perfect for playing and streaming with friends. These games aren’t necessarily low-quality—some even embrace a deliberately quirky style—but they often go viral thanks to streamers. Human Fall Flat was one of the first big examples in 2016, and the trend has continued with games like Chained Together, Liar’s Bar, Schedule 1, and the very popular PEAK. It’s hard to say which co-op games will become the next big hit, but Crashout Crew on Steam is looking promising.

The key to a great ‘friendslop’ game – a chaotic, funny experience best enjoyed with friends – is surprisingly difficult gameplay. This often comes from clumsy controls or wacky physics, leading to unpredictable and hilarious moments. Games like Gang Beasts and Party Animals excel at this, and Crashout Crew looks like it will too. What makes Crashout Crew especially appealing is its focus on forklifts, which is sure to delight meme enthusiasts. Players will need to work together to complete tasks in this fast-paced, four-player game, and even earn forklift certifications! Considering the developer’s experience with popular ‘friendslop’ titles, this game is a must-add to the wishlists of anyone who loves playing with friends.

The demo for Crashout Crew, which was available in October, is no longer available. The game is now listed on Steam as “Coming Soon,” and is currently expected to be released in early 2026.

  • ENJOY frantic co-op gameplay with up to four players, with patience being key to success.
  • RACE around the map in tricked-out forklifts, complete with boosting and drifting mechanics.
  • LIFT and move boxes with ease, with 20 box types to guarantee confusion when multitasking.
  • COMPLETE quotas, with communication necessary so that the warehouse stays organized.
  • UPGRADE forklifts and warehouses to unlock new tools.
  • LAUGH at all the absurd tasks, slip-ups, and silly character models.

How Crashout Crew Strives to Live Up To Its Name

Team up with up to four players online to complete increasingly wild and physics-driven delivery orders. The faster you work, the more you earn – just don’t worry about causing a little chaos along the way!

Crashout Crew, a fun indie game by Aggro Crab, is designed to be delightfully chaotic. Though moving boxes with a forklift sounds simple, the game constantly throws obstacles in your way. A wrong move can send your forklift spinning, potentially crashing into your teammates and creating mayhem. Instead of gently lifting items, you might accidentally explode them, scattering cargo like chickens and ruining deliveries. Similar to the challenging game PEAK, even small errors can have big consequences in Crashout Crew. While you’re passing boxes to each other instead of directly helping climb a mountain, teamwork and good coordination are still essential to win.

I’m really excited about this game because the developers, Aggro Crab, also published PEAK, which I loved! That means they clearly understand how to make a game where both messing up and succeeding feel really impactful. In Crashout Crew, if your workers mess up, they actually have to pay for the damages, which hurts your ability to upgrade things – it adds a ton of pressure! It’s a lot like Overcooked – you’ll be yelling orders to your teammates across the warehouse, and they’ll have to run things over. But get this: Crashout Crew has a mechanic that’s going to make everything way harder, and I have a feeling it’s going to catch a lot of us off guard! It sounds chaotic, but in a good way.

Safety Violations are Crashout Crew’s Spin on PEAK’s Daily Islands

Although Crashout Crew doesn’t change its levels daily like PEAK, the developers at Aggro Crab keep things interesting with randomly appearing obstacles. These include slippery floors that make controlling your forklift difficult and sudden blackouts that plunge the warehouse into darkness. When safety hazards are added to the mix, fulfilling orders for DE NILE SHIPPING becomes delightfully stressful. These unexpected challenges should give Crashout Crew lasting appeal, similar to PEAK, making its simple gameplay consistently fun and replayable. Expect plenty of chaotic moments – a friend might crash their forklift, break a crucial box, or get lost in the dark – but that’s exactly what players looking for a fun co-op experience will enjoy when the game releases on Steam.
