Chapeau (French for “hat”) is a fast-paced multiplayer platformer, where you play a quirky hat! Challenge your friends or team up together for different objectives while engaging in mid-air combat. Salt Castle Studio is the independent game development studio behind this wacky game and they are based in Salzburg, Austria. Customize not only the color of your hat but the type of hat as well (i.e. knight hat, jester hat)! Also, we here at myPotatoGames find it quite funny that you must try to land on people’s heads!
About Chapeau
In Chapeau, you will have to try your best to stay ahead while fluidly jumping, gliding and dashing through beautifully crafted levels, inspired by Austria’s historic city centres. Keep your momentum going to move faster, snatch any objectives away from your competition, and avoid falling to the ground by using the environment and roaming people to your advantage!
Key Features
- Multiplayer: Gather your friends on your couch and compete in action packed multiplayer sessions. Test your skills in a variety of different game modes and jump your way up to victory.
- Hats, hats, hats: Some hats require different playstyles. Unlock and collect a number of different hats, all with their own looks and personality.
- Fast-paced movement: Easy to learn, hard to master. Allowing you to develop that certain competitive edge while keeping it beginner friendly for those multiplayer sessions with your friends.
- Dynamic Environment: Watch your step, the environment is unpredictable. React quickly and use it to your advantage or use it against other players.
On Chapeau’s official website they state “Alpha Coming Soon” so we’re keeping a close eye on this game. The creators have confirmed with us that the Alpha will be playable on Steam.

Imagine a giant inflatable waterpark on the sea. You’re with your friends racing through an obstacle course to rescue an inflatable mascot. Your only “weapon?” A Q-tip style joust pole. Now imagine it’s all virtual – with a customizable character and house. That’s UMI – a game currently in development by Another Coffee Games.
About UMI:
Online combat games have been popular for years and there’s no slowing them down. Despite the concept of these games being fun, the content isn’t really what we’re into here at MyPotatoGames. That’s where UMI steps in and solves the problem in an incredibly fun, colorful way.
UMI will be a multiplayer online game. Set on inflatable obstacle courses on the sea, it’s “capture the flag” style. You’ll be on a team trying to rescue a cute mascot before the other team can. The matches will be 10 to 15 minutes long.
There are currently 5 different sponsors in Umiland. There’s the minty stingray Stinray, the pink narwhal Sochi, the red and white whale Vanilla, the pink and black octopus Oktirome, and the black and yellow sea urchin Eridon. Assumedly, you’ll be choosing one of these teams to represent – or maybe vying to be chosen for one!
In between matches, you’ll be at The Hub. The Hub is a place where you can play around, hang out with friends, decorate your own house, and even adopt an inflatable pet.
You’ll also be able to customize your character. There will be accessories and a wide variety of colors to choose from.
Watch the Gameplay Trailer:
There’s no release date, yet, but UMI will be at Gamescom on August 21-24 so look for any potential news then! For now, you can sign up for the Beta Waitlist. You can also follow game development on Twitter or Instagram.
There are more wholesome competitive games coming! Take a look at Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout coming out next year. Can’t wait? Splatoon may be just the thing for you.
