Step into the shoes of Ezra "Fuzz-E" Wright, an unlikely hero with a big heart. His quest? Battle his way through the Tournament of a Million Punches to save an orphanage!

A one-of-a-kind blend of arcade combat and handcrafted artistry, Felt That: Boxing introduces players to Ezra “Fuzz-E” Wright, a soft-hearted puppet who enters “The Tournament of a Million Punches” to save his childhood orphanage from demolition.

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.

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.

Will Fuzz-E go from underdog to unstoppable? Or will the orphanage become a parking lot? Punch your way to justice, stitch by stitch!

“Save us Fuzz-E… or we’ll die” - Adorable Puppet Orphan #2

"The reaction has been absolutely incredible," said Sébastien Deguy, CEO and Co-Founder at Sans Strings Studio. "Our real-time puppeteering technology was built to blur the line between digital and physical performance, and seeing millions of people immediately connect with that vision – it validates everything we've been working toward."

“We built Felt That: Boxing to feel deeply personal and completely unhinged – like as if some weird furry puppets had an emotional baby with Punch-Out!!” said Ryan Corniel, CCO and Co-Founder at Sans Strings Studio. 

"The fusion of Sans Strings’ brilliance and our inherent weirdness? It’s a one-two punch in a toothless puppet mouth I couldn’t be more excited about," said Eric Towner, co-creator at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios.

Built using developer Sans Strings Studio’s proprietary, real-time animation platform, Felt That: Boxing combines beautiful puppetry with tactile, skill-based mechanics and a narrative story full of dark humor and heart.
