History
Wuppo's development dates back to 2009. Knuist & Perzik have been working on Wuppo while they were in highschool. Through a couple of animations on YouTube (such as "Dragon218", "The Demolixatrox", "Used Appliances"), Lars and Thomas managed to build a loving fanbase that eagerly received Wuppo on September 29th in 2016.
After the wildly enthusiastic reviews on Steam (maintaining a 100% positive score for more than 9 months) and multiple content updates, Wuppo was announced to release on Playstation 4 and Xbox One in September 2017.
On August 27th the Definitive Edition for Wuppo was announced for Nintendo Switch, as well as Steam and GOG.
