Beta playtest
We are close to having our beta version ready for playtesting! If you're interested to give it a shot, please click on the "Request access" button for the playtest!
The playtest version doesn't have all the features of the beta yet (we're still developing some of them), but it does have the following:
Multiplayer (local co-op and online with Steam Remote play-together)
We are hard at work preparing for the beta launch of Feisty Fauna! We will be releasing many new features, including:
split-screen multiplayer (up to 4 players, local / Steam remote play-together)
cat ninja minions for Vanilla
many more skills
customizable difficulty, so you can adjust the game to be just right for you
damage-over-time effects (e.g., burning from fire)
better telegraphing of attacks (e.g., a circle filling up with red)
and more!
As part of our beta launch, we will be removing the following from our demo:
Halloween world and costumes (don't worry, they'll be back later this year!)
Going forward from our beta launch, here are some of the big features we're planning to incorporate soon:
Honey will be playable and can charm enemies to join her side
A roll/dodge mechanic that you can manually activate (or automatically if you prefer)
Other status effects, e.g., freezing, slime
Do let us know (e.g., through the Steam Discussion Board) if there are any big features that you're looking forward to seeing, and/or if you're interested to playtest our beta version before it's launched!

We've put Feisty Fauna's demo on the Google Play store. The full game is not planned to be released there, but you can now play the demo on your mobile devices ːsteamhappyː
In addition, we have done a number of Quality-of-Life updates to the demo:
The player can now be controlled by clicking on the screen to direct where the player should go
Increased font size and visibility of text in level-up perks
Other updates and bug fixes:
Lighting settings were updated to use baked lights
Creatures now use a different method for path-finding that should be faster
Updated grazers (e.g., cows) to have the Idle animation while stationary, instead of foraging which sometimes caused a head bob
Fixed occlusion shading for Halloween creatures
Fixed a bug where the fox boss would keep running while turning in place to face the player before a bite
