A peculiar Steam game from 2018 has gained a massive following, not for its original purpose, but for its unexpected use as a platform for Undertale online multiplayer. Crashphalt, a free and eccentric multiplayer game, has seen a significant spike in popularity as fans of the beloved RPG Undertale have started using it to create their own online multiplayer experiences.

Despite its unusual gameplay mechanics, which involve using ground-pounds to send seismic ripples and knock opponents off-screen, Crashphalt has become a surprise hit. The game's Steam user reviews reveal a fascinating story, with the majority of reviews being written years after its initial release, and many of them focusing on its use as a tool for Undertale multiplayer rather than its original gameplay.
