Felt That: Boxing – A Comedic Puppet Boxing Game

I have not played a single boxing game outside of Wii Sports this century, but that could be about to change. Summer Game Fest Live brought us the reveal of Felt That: Boxing, which features puppet pugilists.

This project, developed by the aptly named Sans Strings Studio and Seth Green’s animation company, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, is described as “a comedic, over-the-top boxing game set in a world where the charm of furry puppets collides with the fury of boxing.” The trailer is structured like an underdog sports movie and is thoroughly delightful.

Gameplay snippets suggest that there will be training minigames, including dodging slices of burnt toast hurled by a trainer at your puppet, named Fuzz-E, and even plunging a toilet. According to the description on the YouTube video, the developers aim to make the “boxing mechanics intentionally ridiculous, favoring fun over precision, with the puppet’s limbs flailing about in an insane sense of chaos.” This approach is certainly intriguing.

The trailer quickly became the most captivating highlight during SGF Live up to that point. While Felt That: Boxing does not yet have a release window, you can wishlist it on Steam now, just as I did.
