For the 3rd year in a row, we will be attending the Rock River Valley Video Game Convention in Rockford, IL!
Our playspace will be about a quarter of the size this year due to renovations in our usual space in the convention center, but it will still be an awesome event! There will be:
A 20' x 30' multiplayer VR playspace for Catastrophic Inversion
Free-play arcade cabinets
A massive playable retro video game collection
A huge selection of games for sale
A live video game music concert afterparty
A meet-and-greet with the original Mortal Kombat mo-cap actors!
We hope to see you there!
Your event?
Want something fun to make your next event a success?
We can bring Catastrophic Inversion to events in Michigan and the surrounding areas.
No special room setup needed, we just need electricity and a flat, well-lit space as small as 20' x 30' or as large as 90' x 53'.
We can comfortably handle 4-8 concurrent players (depending on the size of the space).
We provide training and assistance to guests.
We provide an in-game video feed for spectators.
Price varies with travel time and event duration. Reach out to us for more information: info@toastidwaffel.com

We are an independent hobby studio operated by a solo developer with a little help from his friends.
We value our players' time and enjoyment. You will never find obtrusive ads, arbitrary paywalls, time-sucking grinds, LLM-generated content, or unsustainable services in any of our games.
