About This Game

Felt That: Boxing is a heartfelt and hilarious boxing game where the charm of furry puppets meets the fury of arcade fighting. Step into the shoes of Ezra “Fuzz-E” Wright, an unadoptable orphan turned prizefighter, as he throws down in the “Tournament of a Million Punches” to save his beloved puppet orphanage from ruthless demolition.

A Hero Made of Felt, with a Whole Lot of Heart

Fuzz-E never meant to follow in his belated father’s footsteps into the ring. But when a greedy developer threatens to bulldoze the only home he’s ever known, he laces up his oversized gloves and steps into the spotlight. What starts as a desperate bid to save the orphanage quickly escalates into a wild ride through bombastic arenas full of outrageous characters, ridiculous power-ups, and surprisingly emotional turns.

Developed by Sans Strings Studio in collaboration with Stoopid Buddy Stoodios.
