The story in short:

King Bryan inherited the throne... you can say by accident. And for a long time he ruled the Kingdom just because the lazy and well prospering animals didn’t care about politics. Years have passed as fast as new budget cuts were appearing. But what struck the animals in the Kingdom was the reform of public media. Bigger license fee?! Oh, we will not tolerate that! But thankfully there was a law, or maybe a so called a hole in law, that let any animal challenge current ruler. The only detail, that the cat Leonidas didn’t notice was the fact that it was in fact an open tournament. So it wasn’t long before more contenders appeared to claim the throne for their own reasons.
So it’s time to sharpen your claws and fangs, prepare your hair and nail – the fight is about to Begin!

Game Modes:

Collector - you will get a random set of items to collect as fast as you can and bring them to your table. It will not be easy as enemies will definitely try to stop you. But you have all the tools you need to win – use your special ability in the right time or pick up a level specific power-up to gain advantage.

Runner – the name says it all – run as fast as you can to the finish line! But beware of the traps on the stage!

Catcher – try to catch most of the cannonballs fired by the cannons! But remember – enemies never sleep. Also watch out for the exploding bombs!

Destroyer – every animal has their favorite color – this time they will destroy boxes in that color. Animal with best score wins.

Characters:

From the start we will have:

• Cat Leonidas
• Pig Shaw
• Sloth Jasper
• Lion Bryan

After beating arcade mode a few times you will unlock:

• Panda Ed
• Rat Clarence
• Anteater Arnold
• Proboscis Monkey Gary
• T-Rex Bobby
• Mecha-Dog Zax

Animal Rivals is a casual party game that clearly aims to recreate the energy of couch multiplayer chaos, placing fun, accessibility, and humor above mechanical depth or technical sophistication. Developed and published by Blue Sunset Games, the title is designed first and foremost as a social experience, one that thrives when played with friends gathered around the same screen. From the moment players select their animal characters and jump into a match, it becomes apparent that the game’s primary goal is to spark laughter, competition, and spontaneous moments rather than deliver a finely tuned competitive system. The structure of Animal Rivals revolves around a selection of distinct game modes, each offering a different type of challenge and pace. Instead of locking players into a single formula, the game encourages variety through modes that test speed, coordination, and opportunistic play. Some modes focus on racing through obstacle-filled arenas, others emphasize collecting or delivering items under pressure, while certain challenges reward destruction and quick reactions. This rotation of objectives helps keep sessions lively, as players are constantly adapting to new rules …

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…
