The announcement of a new Eddsworld game was made in late May of 2009. Edd stated: "I have also formed a group with Psycosis91 (Who codes Edd games) and TheWaves (Who made the intro music for the Eddsworld episode [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqEIxlv0UTE MovieMakers]) for the Newgrounds ‘[http://www.newgrounds.com/powerofthree/ Power of three]‘ summer event - which basically means we shall be making a game together over the next few months, hopefully meaning it will be an awesome game!"
'''''Kid Thulhu and the Jan Ken Bunch''''' was a Flash game being developed for the Newgrounds 'Power of Three' event by Psycosis91, TheWaves, and Edd Gould in 2009.


Word continued to be released on this game until mid-August of 2009 when the game was officially dubbed "Kid Thulu" and was destined to be a platformer. Unfortunately, shortly after this announcement, word on Kid Thulu was all but made; the updates stopped around late September of 2009. Not one screenshot was released to the fans.
