What is FuzzBall?
As for what is actually on offer here, the coreFuzzBallexperience is its Vs Mode, which tasks players with controlling the eponymous FuzzBalls—cute animal plush toys shaped like balls—in order to knock enemies off of platforms. This mode hence plays somewhat similarly to the Ballistix levels from theCrash Bashseries, or variousMario Partyfranchise mini-games, such as Sumo of Doom-o, Mosh Pit Playroom, and Platform Peril.
FuzzBallalso has a Party Mode, in which players are meant to compete with their friends by clearing a variety of objectives to earn points. Although completing tasks is one way of emerging triumphant, it’s also possible to do so by preventing other players from doing the same. The game’s third and final mode is called Flexiball, which is a cooperative experience that gives teams a set of objectives and a time limit, requiring them to complete as many as possible.FuzzBallsupports both online and local multiplayer for between two and four players, and can also be experienced solo. Each of its modes can be played across seven distinct stages, whereas the game’s character roster comprises half a dozen unique plush toy balls.
Fans of party gamesmight hence findFuzzBallto be well worth their time, especially with this currently available 100% discount. The game also offers ten fairly easy trophies/achievements, which only take a few hours to unlock. It is currently unclear how long this freebie will be available on the PlayStation and Xbox Stores.
