Party Animals
Fight your friends as puppies, kittens and other fuzzy creatures in PARTY ANIMALS! Paw it out with your friends remotely, or huddle together for chaotic fun on the same screen. Interact with the world under our realistic physics engine. Did I mention PUPPIES?
What it feels like
A carefree, unburdened mood dominates—cute animals, chaotic physics antics, family-friendly party focus without stakes. The entire experience is framed around mischievous fun with 'puppies' and 'fuzzy creatures,' inviting mess-around gameplay. High-energy joy spills over in the cute character design and emphasis on 'chaotic fun' with emphasis.
How it plays
Close-quarters fighting between fuzzy creatures is the core interaction, emphasized as 'fight your friends' repeatedly. A 'realistic physics engine' is explicitly highlighted as central to interaction with the world and combat. While melee-focused, the emphasis on physics and playful, expressive combat suggests stylized character-driven action over pure hack-and-slash.
How it looks and sounds
Puppies, kittens, and other 'fuzzy creatures' with chibi-like design are the visual signature, repeated as a selling point.
How it's structured
Player-versus-player combat against friends is the headline mode, available locally and online. Split-screen couch play is a primary feature, described as 'huddle together for chaotic fun on the same screen.' Shared/split-screen is a featured play mode repeated across Steam descriptions and tags.
