What is the Foamstars Open Beta Party?
In the upcoming Foamstars Open Beta Party, players will experience two different 4-v-4 game modes and choose from eight diverse and vibrant characters, each with their own play style, specialist weapons, and unique game-changing skills. With foam as each challenger’s weapon of choice, players must master the game’s foam traversal and construction mechanics to build, block, and overpower their competitors to achieve victory.
As a thank you to every player who participates in the open beta, an exclusive cosmetic item for the character Soa will be given upon downloading the full game at launch.
Two available game modes:
- “Smash the Star”: Compete in a frantic battle where the winning strategy changes as the match progresses. In this mode each team must battle it out to secure seven knockouts on the opposing team. Once this is achieved, the best player is chosen to be the “Star Player” and becomes the key to victory! To win the match, teams must defeat the opposing team’s “Star Player” while also protecting their own!
- “Happy Bath Survival”: A battle between two teams comprised of two “infield” players and two “outfield” players. Victory is earned by defeating both opponent “infield” players, while “outfield” players support and provide defense for their teammates!
Foamstars puts players in the vibrant world of Bath Vegas, a gorgeous and bubbly metropolis, and the setting for the world’s biggest foam party fit with the neon and the city. Foamstars blasts players into the ultimate, over-the-top online shooter, that pits teams of up to 4 against each other in an easily accessible gameplay experience using foam! Prepare to experience a fraction of what Foamstars has to offer while simultaneously testing the capabilities of our servers ahead of the game’s upcoming launch in 2024.
