Leave it to Japan to have a holiday dedicated to thighs. November 20th marks “Good Thigh Day” in the land of the rising sun, and SKOOTA Games isn’t letting the occasion pass without fanfare. The indie developer behind MOMO Crash—yes, that rhythm game where you literally slap thighs to the beat—just dropped a substantial update that’s got the niche gaming community buzzing.
For those unfamiliar with this peculiar corner of the rhythm game universe, MOMO Crash tasks players with becoming “Thigh Warriors” who must tap, slap, and rhythm their way through increasingly challenging musical tracks. It’s weird, it’s wonderfully Japanese, and it’s exactly the kind of game that makes Steam’s recommendation algorithm work overtime.
What’s new in the update
The centerpiece of this celebration is the game’s debut DLC pack, appropriately named “Tights Pack.” Before you reach for your wallet, here’s the good news: it’s completely free until December 31st. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep forever, even after the promotional period ends.
The DLC adds legwear options for the game’s three main characters—Daia, Seika, and Hikaru. Players can choose between 30 denier and 60 denier stockings, each offering distinct visual characteristics in terms of sheen and transparency. It’s the kind of attention to detail that shows SKOOTA Games knows exactly who their audience is and what they’re looking for.
But the free cosmetics are just the appetizer. The base game received significant technical improvements that rhythm game enthusiasts will actually notice. The physics engine got a complete overhaul, delivering what the developers describe as “more realistic thigh jiggle.” Whether that’s a selling point or a red flag depends entirely on your tolerance for Japan’s unique approach to game design.
More songs, more languages, more customization
Four new tracks have been added to FREE PLAY mode, expanding the game’s musical repertoire. SKOOTA Games confirmed this isn’t a one-time addition either—they’re committed to regularly dropping new songs to keep the experience fresh. For rhythm game fans, new content is the lifeblood that keeps communities engaged, so this ongoing support is genuinely promising.
The update also breaks down language barriers with support for French, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Latin America), and Russian. It’s a smart move that opens the game to broader audiences beyond its initial English and Japanese player base.
Perhaps most importantly for PC gamers, there’s now full key configuration support. No more being locked into default controls that might feel awkward on your particular setup. Remap to your heart’s content and find the layout that lets you hit those thigh-slapping beats with precision.
Should you jump in?
If you’ve been curious about MOMO Crash but hesitant to take the plunge, timing is on your side. Steam is running a 30% discount through December 3rd, bringing the price down to $8.40 USD. Combined with the free DLC and all the new content, it’s arguably the best time to experience what this unconventional rhythm game has to offer.
MOMO Crash represents a specific slice of gaming culture that doesn’t apologize for what it is. It’s quirky, it’s niche, and it’s unapologetically committed to its bizarre premise. In an industry increasingly dominated by safe bets and focus-tested experiences, there’s something refreshing about a game that knows exactly what it wants to be—even if that thing is a thigh-slapping rhythm simulator.
Whether you’re a rhythm game completionist, a collector of Steam’s stranger offerings, or just someone who appreciates Japan’s ability to turn literally anything into a game mechanic, MOMO Crash is available now on PC via Steam.
