Hoover up the staff for a PS Fall Guys game. Playstation characters and levels based on several IP. One could be a timed level running through the Oregon forest while freakers come after you. Plan to release content in line with bigger first/marketed third party games.

The developer.
I mean even with big layoff they can continue working on it.

I wonder what mass layoff means... 20%? 30%? 50%? All these are mass layoffs imo.

Seems substantial like something over 60%

Yeah it's a fad game like Among Us, it doesn't have staying power.
