Party Animals puts players in control of fuzzy animal characters in physics-based fights. Grab, punch, and throw opponents as you try to knock them out or send them off the map.
Matches span different maps and formats, including free-for-all and team battles, objective-based challenges, and kart races. Other modes include infection and hidden-role rounds built around completing tasks or eliminating players.
Play with others online or locally, or meet in a shared cabin with activities such as fishing and tabletop games. Fishing also ties into collecting fish of different rarity levels, while animals and their skins can be earned through in-game activities.
Players who enjoy Party Animals often praise its silly physics-driven fights, cute animal characters, and the funny moments that emerge when playing with friends. Reviews also appreciate the range of modes, with some calling out fishing and collecting as a reason to keep playing. Several describe the experience as more engaging with friends than alone.
