Prop Sumo

Honestly, I'm disappointed in this game's release. Prop Sumo is an asset flip of Witch It that originated from an in-studio game jam event (which is where this game should have stayed). The combat is mindless, and there is no meaningful progression or any of the staples that make a good modern fighting/party game. This is the kind of game most dev studios would release for free as a bit of April Fools’ joke fun, yet it’s now being sold to consumers at a price I would not recommend paying. It has taken development time and resources away from their other dying game, which is seemingly on life support & rather than being entertaining for hours, like their previous title, Prop Sumo will leave you asking, "Who asked for this?"

I'm only giving this game a 👍 because it is fun and there are 100% people that will also enjoy this with their friends but really this is not what i wanted to see from the dev team. Their main game, Witch it, it's been out for years and still feels like an early access game that needs a lot of improvements. They could've used their time and resources to finally make that the game that me and the dedicated community really wanted. I get that working on the same project for a decade is exhausting and this project was like a break from all that but Witch It had lots of oppostunities to become something bigger but all got missed and that makes me kinda disappointed to say at least. But yeah, if you like fighting games with weird and funny twist check this game out!

Prop Sumo, developed and published by Barrel Roll Games, is a physics-driven party brawler that builds its identity around chaos, humor, and accessibility rather than technical depth or competitive precision. It takes an intentionally ridiculous concept—every playable character is an everyday object—and turns it into a lively multiplayer experience where unpredictability is not a flaw but the main attraction. From the outset, the game makes it clear that it’s less about mastering systems and more about embracing the absurdity of its mechanics. The gameplay is built on a simple but effective foundation. Players control their chosen “prop” in small arena maps, using a combination of light attacks, heavier strikes, and charge-based movements to push opponents out of bounds or disrupt their positioning. The controls are easy to grasp, making the game approachable even for newcomers, but the real challenge comes from understanding how momentum and physics influence every interaction. Movement feels deliberately loose, with each action carrying a sense of weight and unpredictability that can lead to both impressive plays and unintended mishaps. What keeps matches engaging is the consta…
