In June 2021, in response to a YouTube comment that claimed, in a similar way to the comment that started Karlson, that he was unable to make a survival and open world game, Sooman decided to create a Minecraft-styled, simplistic open world game titled Muck.

The games were not released to the general public, but were made available to Twitch streamers and YouTubers. In late 2020, during the surge in popularity of the games Fall Guys and Among Us, Soomen challenged himself to recreate the viral games within the span of one week.
