Coral Island's team is frustrated that the publisher's layoffs pose issues for updating the game for consoles

The game previously raised $1.5 million and reached its Kickstarter stretch goal for console and Switch. As a make-good to those who backed the Kickstarter to receive a Switch key, Stairway is offering replacement keys on Steam.

Some of the noteworthy games published by Humble Games previously include A Hat in Time, Carto, One Step From Eden, Forager, Slay the Spire, Temtem, and Moonscars.

This is not the first time mass layoffs have occurred within the games industry in the past year. Just between 2023 and the first half of 2024, more than 20,000 jobs have been cut from studios, such as Ubisoft, Epic Games, Microsoft, Sony, Electronic Arts, and Sega, to name several.
