Getting Started

Fart Together is a physics-based co-op obstacle course for 2 to 4 players who share a single raft and steer it with fart power. Every player controls direction, timing and how much gas they release, and the raft reacts to all of those inputs at once, so getting through a course depends far more on coordination than on any one player's skill.

What You Actually Do

Each player is a hippo riding the same raft. Instead of a steering wheel, the raft moves because of the thrust each hippo produces, and that thrust has a direction, a strength and a moment when it happens. Push together and the raft surges forward; push from opposite sides and it spins in place.

Courses are built to punish poor teamwork. Narrow passages, sharp turns, moving obstacles and hazards that knock the raft off balance all require the crew to speed up, slow down or turn at the same moment. A single mistimed blast can send everyone off course.

A run starts at a start gate with a timer running, passes checkpoint signs that act as restart points after a crash, and ends at a finish gate. The raft physics are deliberately loose rather than a perfect simulation of a real boat. That is the source of the comedy: the raft behaves believably enough to plan around, but never so predictably that a crew can stop talking.

Demo Versus Early Access

Version	What it offers
Demo	A sample of the courses for testing the raft physics and co-op timing with friends; it costs nothing on Steam
Early Access	The paid build with the full Early Access course set and ongoing updates, launching October 29, 2026

The demo is the right place to learn the controls and find out whether your group enjoys the chaos. Early Access adds more courses and continues to grow during development, and owners of the Early Access build receive the full release at no extra cost. Release details live on the Early Access page.

Both versions run on Windows PC through Steam. There is no official mobile version and no official browser version, so any site offering an APK or an installer outside Steam is not the real game; the platforms page answers console and mobile questions in detail. Hardware needs are listed on System Requirements.

Setting Up Your First Run

1. Install the demo or the Early Access build from Steam. Everyone in the group must run the same build.
2. Gather 2 to 4 players. Co-op runs over the internet, so each player needs a stable broadband connection.
3. Create a lobby and share its code, or join a friend's lobby with theirs. Players also post open lobby codes in the Steam community when looking for a crew.
4. Start voice chat before the first course. Steering without talking is possible, but far harder.
5. Test your controller or keyboard in the lobby before the first hard turn.

Lobby size matters for difficulty. Two hippos have less total thrust but fewer conflicting inputs, while a full crew of four can push hard but needs much tighter communication. A group of strangers can work, but a group of friends on voice chat is how the game is meant to be played. The Team Coordination guide covers callouts and crew roles in detail.

Controls and Input

The game supports controllers, including Xbox controllers and the PlayStation DualSense, through Steam Input, and it can also be played on keyboard. Whatever you use, the thing you control is the same: the direction of your thrust and how long and how hard you release it.

Short taps make small corrections. Longer blasts add speed. Thrust from one side pushes the raft away from that side, so a hippo on the left blasting alone will swing the raft to the right. Bind your thrust inputs to something comfortable before the first difficult section, because you will be pressing them constantly.

Comfort options include camera settings and custom volume controls. Both help on long sessions, especially for players who feel motion sickness from a spinning camera.

Languages and Platforms

The interface supports 17 languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Simplified Chinese, Portuguese (Brazil), Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Dutch, Vietnamese and Persian. That makes it easy to mix crews from different countries, though voice chat still decides how well you communicate.

The game is available on Windows through Steam, with Steam Cloud and Family Sharing supported. Once you are set up, move on to Raft Steering to learn how the physics respond to each hippo's thrust. For more teamwork between sessions, the co-op shelf collects similar titles.
