Behind the Animal Ball...
Although the atmosphere of the game seems to be joyful and funny, the story behind it is not peaceful: why do animals of different species fight in the same place and try to stay till the end? If they did have a tolerable environment to live in, who would choose to leave their homeland and fight other creatures in a strange place? What kind of truth is behind these tragedies? Do we humans need to take on certain responsibilities?Protecting the environment and protecting animals is an issue that is so often brought up that it will feel numb when you look at it again. Human beings gradually choose to turn a blind eye because of pain or guilt, and immerse themselves in their own happiness, but all these tragedies are still happening...
So we made this free game to bring joy to players, but we also hope that everyone who has experienced this joy can pay attention to and think about the story behind this game, maybe the person who can save them and the world is you.
