Description
STRANGE BREW is a cinematic 3D action platformer with intense chases that feel like a zombie movie. Run to evade, throw beans to distract, and use environmental traps to slow, smash or zap the hordes. Expect non-stop mayhem, absurd story beats, screams/laughs, as you play as a duck mascot with a coffee addiction.
RUN FROM THE DECAFFEINATED
Drop or throw coffee beans to lure and trick zombie hordes. Be clever. To top the leaderboard, Joe must take risks to orchestrate mass murders for monster point totals.
KILL ‘EM ALL, IF YOU MUST
Expect to always be chased and harassed. Swat through the chaos, leap from tall buildings, and make good use of environmental hazards. Save yourself to take the fight to them.
EMBRACE THE MADNESS
Strange Brew is awash in atmospherics and cinematic moments. Find yourself behind the DJ booth at a warehouse rave, or atop a monorail screaming out of control, or summiting the nuclear cooling tower. Drink it up!
FEEL FREE TO REPLAY
Seek different paths to unlock secrets, like fabulous additional costumes. Switch to the '68 Living Dead Mode to experience this apocalypse in black-and-white.
It was the end of civilization and there was no coffee.

User Reviews
SCARY!!! But so fun! And scary, I don't like getting chased but dammit this game is fun!
Love the voice acting in this!
Excited to achieve 100% on it.
Really looking forward to what the makers do next for games!
Honestly, its a great game overall.
-The levels have replayability to find forgotten or missed secrets.
-Multiple costumes and power-ups make every run diffrent and chaotic.
-Its funny and enjoyable. (Nead I say more?)
The developers have made something quite special and unique. The game does need a bit of a polish as ive found a few spots I could get out of the map, but overall its a great game.
8/10
Very cool game! Like the strange (say that again?) love child of resident evil and 3D sonic.
Definitely carries some of the jank of aforementioned 3D sonic games but shares the great style and music too.
The premise is very unique, being chased by zombies and downing coffees to keep your speed up and get to the end!
Lots of potential for speedrunning with many interesting skips and very few barriers stopping you from running around to interesting places.
Some suggestions I would have for future updates:
•Add one checkpoint per level in easy mode: makes it more forgiving for new players while leaving the challenge for seasoned players
•Fix some camera Jank: holds back the free flowing level design a bit
•Add some hurdles in the training level: allowing for some more practice on climbing n stuff
This games got a lot of personality and an amazing style, I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot!
Now THIS is what peak gaming looks like!
Very charming and creative, and surprisingly tricky at times, I appreciate that you can try different routes through the levels which are very atmospheric. I feel like a coffee now.
