Our take on Max Mustard
Rather than staying entirely in the usual third-person platforming viewpoint, the game combines that structure with first-person power-ups. Its VR presentation shifts the genre’s familiar movement and challenge format into a mixed-perspective experience.
What is Max Mustard?
Max Mustard is a VR platformer built around a rescue quest for mudpups held by Stubbins.
Its structure combines first-person power-ups with third-person platforming across 40 levels. Players face four bosses, varied mechanics, challenges, and changing landscapes during the journey. The game includes eight upgrades and presents unexpected turns and moral decisions that can influence the course of the adventure. Its levels are created around surprises and different gameplay ideas rather than a single repeated setup. The game pays homage to classic platformers while presenting the action in virtual reality. In-game text displays in English unless otherwise stated, and the language is limited rather than localized.
