PEAK devs are secretly trolling players in real time
PEAK’s devs are sneaking into live games, controlling a talking stuffed animal, and casually trolling players on stream.
PEAK exploded onto the scene in June 2025, selling5 million copiesin less than a month. The game hit 102,799 concurrent players on Steam and became aviral hitalmost overnight.
It was built in a single month during a game jam between indie darlings Aggro Crab and Landfall. The devs shifted from burnout-heavy projects to something smaller, punchier, and more fun. The result is a chaotic co-op climbing game with endless meme potential and surprise developer cameos.
Post-launch, the team didn’t vanish. Instead, they got weirder.
PEAK devs are possessing Bingbong to troll players
Now, they’re hopping into Twitch streamers’ games by controlling Bingbong, the squeaky little plush toy companion. Except Bingbong isn’t just squeaky. He talks. Like, really talks. With live voice lines.
Some streamers thought Bingbong was pre-recorded. Until he started answering questions.
Others ditched him mid-journey, only to hear a sad, “Don’t leave me…” echo across the game. One player yelled, “Why does it sound like a real person in our call?” Another swore, “Bingbong has a speaker!”
In one stream, the dev behind Bingbong begged not to be abandoned, shouted “I’m in the water!” and even declared his love for Pride Month.

Streamers realized too late: “We almost left a real dev just in the water.”
What’s even better is Bingbong has his own voice volume slider. Because of course he does.
The trolling is harmless, hilarious, and very on-brand. It’s got players wondering who they’re actually playing with. And yes, someone did ask if Bingbong was a pervert.

Over a month after launch, PEAK’s still thriving. The community is climbing, streaming, and now accidentally bullying real developers. Gaming’s never been weirder and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
