Today during OTK Games Expo, we unveiled July 2024 as Smack Studio’s 1.0 release date! Watch our reveal trailer below.
You may have also noticed some new characters, stages, and of course the latest footage of the Stage Editor.
Here’s a highlight real of some of the reactions of Smack Studio from during the event.
We will never get tired of these reactions. 🥲

For those of you already familiar with the stage Dash City from Pizza Dash, you will now also get to play as the main character from the game as well, Ari! This is also the reveal of our first Kickstarter Backer character – expect more soon (you may or may not have gotten a taste already from the release date trailer 😉)!
We cannot wait to share more with you in the coming weeks, so follow us on Twitter / X to see character reveal trailers and more surprises!
Game Grumps in Smack Studio
Last month, the Game Grumps played as themselves on an episode! To say we were thrilled to work with them was an understatement.
Our team sure had some good laughs putting the characters together, and we were delighted to see the Grumps’ reactions as well. Special thanks to community member Erans for his assistance to our team in creating these characters!
For anyone who’d like to download and enjoy these characters themselves, you can download Arin and Danny on Steam Workshop.
We’ve also shared the uncensored, unbleeped versions in our Discord server for those who want to hear the Grumps’ full cussing voice lines, but please don’t share these versions on the Workshop.
Pirate Software Shout Out
As a complete surprise to our team, we were delighted to hear Pirate Software‘s thoughts on Smack Studio! He found us even before OTK Expo. Check out the video clip below.
Thank you @PirateSoftware for the kind words!
