This is a foolish puppet boxing recreation you by ...

I’ve not performed a single boxing recreation outdoors of Wii Sports activities this century, however that may very well be about to vary. Summer Game Fest Live introduced us the reveal of Felt That: Boxing, which stars puppet pugilists.

This mission from the appropriately named Sans Strings Studio and Seth Inexperienced’s animation firm, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, is billed as “a comedic, over-the-top boxing recreation set in a world the place the appeal of furry puppets collides with the fury of boxing.” The clip is structured like a trailer for an underdog sports activities film and it’s simply pleasant.

The snippets of gameplay recommend there shall be coaching minigames that embody dodging slices of burnt toast {that a} coach hurls at your puppet (who is called Fuzz-E) and, uh, plunging a bathroom. In keeping with the outline on the YouTube video, the builders are aiming to make the “boxing mechanics are deliberately ridiculous, favoring enjoyable over precision, with [puppet] limbs flailing about with an insane sense of chaos.” Pretty.

This trailer was instantly probably the most fascinating factor throughout SGF Dwell as much as that time. Felt That: Boxing doesn’t but have a launch window, however you’ll be able to wishlist it on Steam now, like I simply did.
