Max Mustard is a VR platformer developed by Toast Interactive, released in 2024 for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, PlayStation VR2, and SteamVR. Designed from the ground up for virtual reality, it blends first-person power-up mechanics with classic third-person platforming across 40 hand-crafted levels. The game follows the titular protagonist on a mission to rescue captured mudpups from an antagonist named Stubbins, progressing through varied environments that present challenges, unexpected twists, and decisions that influence the journey's outcome. Players collect eight upgrades and face four boss encounters along the way. The level design emphasizes variety and inventive mechanics throughout, drawing clear inspiration from traditional platformers while adapting the format specifically to VR. The in-game language displays in English. Toast Interactive positions the title as a full-featured platforming experience rather than a short-form VR showcase, prioritizing sustained gameplay over novelty.
