Hi folks!
We are Woody and Sarah of Utopian World of Sandwiches, the husband and wife creators of Chompy Chomp Chomp Party.

Chompy Chomp Chomp Party is a fun and chaotic party game for up to 8 players. You play a Chompy and you chase and chomp a different Chompy depending on the target colour under your feet. A recent [review](https://indiegamerchick.com/2022/12/06/chompy-chomp-chomp-party-review/) described it as “one of the most frantic, unhinged party experiences in gaming … also one of the most simple to understand”. Chompy Chomp Chomp Party was made to bring people together in the same room, to recreate that super intense experience of playground games when you were a kid, but from the comfort of your sofa.
We make games in the shed at the bottom of our garden. It’s just the two of us, Woody is a solo dev who makes the whole game from graphics to code, Sarah does concepts, UI/UX and we design the games together. Our kids sometimes join in, 6 year old is our chief play tester and our 1.5 year old aspires to that, mashing the buttons. Our 6 year old also loves to design power ups and levels.
We released a much earlier version of Chompy Chomp Chomp Party on Wii U back in 2016, we had children and we had to take a break for a while. When the pandemic hit we returned to it, updated the graphics, added more modes and levels and now it’s easy for us to forget how different it is!
We’re kind of amazed we finally managed to release and that we’re somehow balancing family life and self funding/self publishing a game! So here we are to answer questions about the game, our business, our indie family life or anything really. AMA!

Demo available?
I remember Chompy Chomp Chomp back on the Xbox 360 (one of the XBLIGs!) and am so happy to see it coming to Switch. If it was a flavor of ice cream, what flavor would Chompy Chomp Chomp Party be? And what flavor is the best? And why is it Rum Raisin? 😉
I have 3 questions. The last being the most important:
– 1. What are the longer term plans for the game like with DLC?
– 2. Will there be any other Chompy games in different forms maybe like a coop platformer or anything? Or will you guys look to make something completely different next?
– 3. How much chocolate would a Chompy chomp if a Chompy could chomp chocolate?
The game looks fun!
• What were your favorite parts about making it?
• Do the characters have a name? As in, are they called something like Chompys? Which one is your favorite color? 🙂
Also, the website is really nice! I like the kids’ reviews, haha
What do you think has been the hardest thing about making and releasing a game?
-What inspired you in terms of both the chompies design and gameplay?
-Do you feel that the Switch/ Steam is a better home for the chompies or was the WiiU better on that regard?
-How many chomps can a chompie chomp if a chompie can chomp chomps?
How have sales been? Both in absolute terms and relative to your expectations?
This looks fun! I need a new couch co’op game.
Are there any games that you were inspired by, whether it be large scale multiplayer party games like Mario Party, or smaller indie titles like Duck Game?
Hiya, I’m wondering if you think your game would be suitable for a child who struggles with losing? Thanks.xx
I dunno if someone can answer me this, but which store sells Nintendo products officially in Brazil?
Almost wasted 400 BRSLs on a fake Pro Controller
we are just starting with Nintendo Switch and your game is on our Christmas shopping list. Do you have fave controllers for playing next to one’s provided with the switch console?
