Foamstars officially launched earlier this week, meaning you can now hop into a game and start duking it out with foam-based weaponry whenever you please. There's also a story element to Foamstars if you're interested in learning more about the game's characters the world, though you will wish you hadn't when you find out that the story reveals the origins of the foam players use in multiplayer battles.
If you naturally assumed that the foam players shoot is some kind of special concoction of chemicals, then Foamstars has played you for a fool.

This was first noticed by Twitter user Dashiellwood, who shares a screenshot of the game's story mode explaining the origins of the foam. In this screenshot, we see a little girl clearly embarrassed about all the bubbles surrounding her while she's stood in what appears to be a small room or elevator - bubbles that are somehow coming out of her body and head.
