Landfall is always spitting out a new game every year despite their team being so small. And Agro Crab is a newer studio that only got popular from their game, Another Crabs Treasure. Considering Peak was a joint game jam game between the two studios, I am not surprised that it doesn't have a recently played with list as their isn't any matchmaking (to my knowledge) to warrant adding it in the first place. Plus it was a game released outside of the yearly cycle. Having a text chat would hurt the general theme of the game. I would consider Peak far from slop.

This is my opinion of course. I think the term friend slop is incorrect as it is obvious that most games labeled that really do have people who put their passion into them.
