Feisty Fauna

Livestream for DreamHack Beyond Summer Indie Showcase
We are live-streaming gameplay from our demo! Watch our campaign mode, as Peppermint attempts to rescue her chicks, who have been kidnapped by foxes, and learn about the story as we go along. We also play the classic mode with Vanilla, who uses her cat ninja skills to defeat various foes and bosses.

Campaign / story-mode added to demo
Since our playtest, we have implemented the campaign / story-mode for Feisty Fauna. Now, you can experience Peppermint's story, as she rescues her chicks who have been kidnapped by foxes.



The campaign begins in the coop where Peppermint, her wife Cocoa, and other characters reside. You can chat with a diverse cast, before heading into Groovy Grassland to rescue the chicks. During the campaign, more of the story will unfold, and you can play a part in deciding which path to take (and which quests you'll complete).



We hope you will enjoy the story as much as we have enjoyed writing it! Please let us know what you think by posting on our discussion board!

Update notes for May 26th 2023
Bug fixes:

Beta playtest ending on June 1st


Thanks everyone for participating in the Beta playtest, and providing valuable feedback.

We have made many improvements to Feisty Fauna through the course of our Beta playtest, and on June 1st, we will be (temporarily) closing the playtest. The current Beta playtest version will be moved into our regular demo, and your progress (coins earned) will be kept, so you can continue playing through our demo!

We have many exciting features planned, and when they are ready for launch, we will re-open our playtest again, and look forward to your participation and feedback then!

  • Adjusted level-up perk rarity and drop rates
