Prop Sumo is a new multiplayer fighting game from the creators of Witch It!

For the first time in almost a decade, Barrel Roll Games is proud to announce a brand new project titled Prop Sumo! Battle your friends using the props you know and love from Witch It - unlocking new props, ultimate abilities, and customisation as you progress! 🥊

Prop Sumo is a physics-driven fighting game that pits ordinary props together in extraordinary battles. Your goal in Prop Sumo is to be the last prop standing - brawl your opponents with a mixture of different melee moves, combo attacks, and ultimate abilities! 💣

In Prop Sumo, you can shape your playstyle with wild prop modifiers that transform your ultimate ability in powerful ways! For example: pair the beehive prop with the cannonball ultimate to create a huge explosion that covers your opponents screen in a swarm of bees! Or pair the mandrake with the wrecking ball ultimate to snare your opponents to the ground and crush them! 💥

There are over 100+ ultimate-modifier combinations that you can experiment with to find the most powerful build! ☄️

Battle on a range of stunning, dynamic maps built for mayhem! Surging rivers, tangled vines and molten lava will need to be avoided - or used to your advantage! 🔥

Each round, you'll earn experience and unlock coupons that can be traded in for new props, ultimate abilities or customisation for your prop. Decorate your prop with a huge selection of cosmetics that you can fine-tune to match your style! 🧢

Before we release Prop Sumo to the world, we want to invite you to playtest our game!

To sign up to the Prop Sumo Beta Playtesting phase, visit the store page, and hit the "Request Access" button! ✔️

Prop Sumo Store Page

We will be accepting playtesters into Prop Sumo in the coming months, where you'll be able to try out the game for free before it releases later in the year!

Prop Sumo is peer-to-peer only and best enjoyed with friends. However, we have a server browser so you can jump into matches against strangers too! 🤜🤛

We hope you enjoy Prop Sumo! ✨
