After Toto Temple Deluxe's financial struggles, the team behind Burrito Bison faced a crisis. With no new games in four years, they needed a lifeline. Enter Kongregate's Battle KongRoyale contest, where Burrito Bison Revenge won 'Best Game on Kongregate Ever.' This victory sparked a desperate pitch: fund a new Burrito Bison game.

The studio secured funding through Kongregate's Launchpad program, averting bankruptcy but feeling conflicted about prioritizing profit over creativity. Despite reservations, they committed to making the best possible sequel, leveraging existing fan demand and IP familiarity.
