Paunchy Pets launch is coming October 6th! Save the Date!


Paunchy Pets launches October 6th! Get ready to collect some hungry little pets!


Since the demo release we have overhauled the entire game, adding polish to visuals, sfx, and new features:

  • 5 Paunchy Types with 25 total skins with room to grow

  • Tiny Farming Sim with Junk Food to Feed Paunchy Pets

  • 9+ Mini-games to Train the Pets

  • PVP Battle Arena with Ranked play against other Players on the Leaderboard

  • Paunchy Pets lay Eggs to Hatch new pets

  • Rare Pets have better Stats for Battle

  • Adopt a Rare Pet Daily

  • Merge 3 Pets of the Same Skin to get better Stats

  • 4hr + Gameplay (Higher if you played Ranked and try to Climb)

These feature show the full intended cozy ranked PVP game loop. Yes you heard me right, cozy PVP.In Paunchy Pets you train up your pets to do battle in the Arena. If you play Ranked, you go up against the pets of other players on the Leaderboard. Since it's an Autobattle, it basically runs on how much you trained your pets and if they have good multipliers, so it's a lot less sweaty than a typical PVP game.Because of this, you can have fun climbing the Ranked Ladder, and more fun collecting rare pet skins that will have higher multipliers. Get 3 of the same rare skins and Magical Merge them in the Pet Pen to get even better stats for that pet, giving you a better chance to climb the Ranked Ladder.

The Long Term Plan

The Plan for Paunchy Pets extends beyond the launch. We want to have a lot more pets, mini-games, and additions to the Map as we go. This will build entirely new gameplay and ways to interact with your pets. Looking forward to seeing what the community wants as well, so you can build with you.Apart from adding more content to Paunchy Pets, we also have more games of the Paunchy Pets Franchise on the way. Stay tuned as we announce those games in a few months; all of these will help build the franchise and a fun little community around these Paunchy little Pets.

Wishlist Now!

If you haven't already Wishlisted, please do it now! We are less than a month from release and hopefully we can build up some wishlists and buzz before then. Can't wait to see everyone on the Leaderboards!
