2. "Gang Beasts": Jelly Brawl

In the slapstick fight game " Gang Beasts " up to four players can let their aggression run free and hit each other's bells with the colorful jelly figures. The whole thing is really fun because the wobbly fighters control themselves really lazily and have chosen dangerous places for the fights. Whether on train tracks, ice floes or on an airship – whoever falls down loses. And since the jelly fighters are already wobbling around uncontrollably, the game can also be played perfectly when drunk.
