Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

Update: I think a lot of you are too quick to judge this game without finishing it. If you still hate it after you've seen the ending, then feel free to leave a nasty review.

Do you think there is an animal heaven?

The medals aren't working for me.

This is one of the best games I ever played here!!.The concept is totally original,the music is great,and is fun to play,and quite easy too.The autor of this game is one of the craziest bastards around for sure.All my star to this creation!

I think you should make difrent things all together

Wow. This is way different from pretty much every other game out there.

The title of the game is simple and straight to the point: you're going to punch animals. One, two or four buttons are needed depending on the sequences, and there's little variation to the sequences. One annoying thing about boss battles was that I couldn't tell consistentlly when the punches connect.

There are also discussions that don't really affect the game that much, but give a certain flavor to the plot. These two mechanics are extremely minimalistic, but the idea being absurd, everything built around these two mechanics make one heck of an experience.

The graphic style is overall pretty simple. The style changes visibly in this game (traditional pixel art to simple Paint sketches to even childlike doodles), but somehow these changes play together effectively. It's an art style I haven't seen anywhere else, and it really creates a creepy and haunting atmosphere.

And when talking about a haunting atmosphere, the music also is quite outlandish and complements the style of the game. Sounds effects, are your little old school bleeps and scratches. Nothing spectacular, but not anything annoying either.

The game is simple, the graphics are definitely inferior in polish when compared to top games on NG, and the sounds and music are pretty simplistic - yet the way these things were made and put into a whole creates an extremely outlandish and memorable experience in fraction of the time than many other games.

Heck, I'm probably going to remember this game longer than some titles where many years and millions of dollars have been spent.

Haha, this is a great game, my third time playing it. I love how people wont play it because there against animal cruelty. DUDES, ITS A GAME, GET OVER IT. You play call of duty, wouldnt that be even worse? There video games lol. But nice job austin, I love your style.
