About This Game

Bad Pose is a casual online multiplayer party game. Pick your favorite animal, create your own moves, and steal the spotlight your way!

Combat Mode [WIP...]

Pick the weapons and equipment that suit you, create your own moves, and jump into physics-based combat. Weapon collisions, body inertia, and balance all shape each exchange. Move design, timing, and judging distance matter just as much.

Protect your body. Injured or severed limbs affect your ability to stay upright, hold equipment, and fight. Every hit can turn the tide.

Face your friends in 2–4 player online free-for-all battles, where everyone fights for themselves and puts their combat skills to the test. Or fight your way through single-player stages against increasingly powerful opponents. Staying on your feet is your only goal.

Disguise Mode

Blending into a crowd of animals is easy. Acting like one is the tricky part. Become a hider, create your own animal poses and animations, and blend in with the herd to fool the hunters. Or pick up a weapon, watch for suspicious movements, and uncover the players hiding among the animals.

Of course, you can also create some not-so-natural moves and make them “contagious,” teaching nearby animals to act just as suspiciously. Just don’t get too carried away.

Here, you can…

  • Teach yourself how to be an animal. Move your limbs, turn your head, and string poses together into animations. Walking, jumping, a performance nobody can explain, or a move that sends another character flying—you create it yourself.

  • Act like nothing’s wrong. Watch how the other animals move, matching their steps and pauses. A hunter looking your way? Hopefully, that last step looked natural.

  • Be a bad influence on the herd. Spread your custom animations to nearby animals. When they start acting strangely too, will the hunters still be able to spot you?

  • Test with tools. Decide by watching. As a hunter, earn coins through tasks and minigames around the map, buy ammunition and disruptive items, and look for clues in the animals’ reactions. Think before you shoot: catching the wrong animal costs points.

  • Get caught, switch sides, keep playing. Join the hunters and track down the friends you were hiding alongside moments ago. Now it’s your turn to watch them perform.

  • Perfect your masterpiece in the lab. Take your time creating, tweaking, and saving animation templates without a round timer ticking down. Then bring them into rooms that allow templates.

(The game is still in development. The visuals and interface shown may change as development progresses.)

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The game features weapon-based combat and depictions of death involving animal characters. In combat modes, players may encounter blood splatter, bloodstains on the ground, dismemberment, and decapitation; severed body parts remain in the combat environment. Allows for adjusting blood color and toggling dismemberment effects via the settings.
