Fisti-Fluffs (2020): Tiene bugs que empañan un poco la experiencia, pero sin ser la cosa más elaborada del mundo sí es muy divertido como party-game. Variedad de gatos, cascos graciosos y premisas absurdas, a veces no hace falta nada más (6,35)

Five out of Five! Yeah it's very funny! And I like that you can meow a lot.

You get to be a cat and you get to fight other cats! And also you get to play with the cats, you pick the cats when you want to play with other people, and there's also a MEOW BUTTON that I love and my brother loves.

Your enjoyment of this game will ultimately depend on how much you love cats.
Fisti-Fluffs is a simple game. In single player, you're able to dress and play with cats, but it's about as deep as the camping elements of Pokemon Sword/Shield. Everything else must be 2-4 players, and there's no option for bots.
The multiplayer consists of three modes. "Tussle" is a basic 3D arena fighter with overly simple controls and way too much health. Fights drag on for quite a while, and they're not exactly engaging. The cutesy style and relaxed music do make for an interesting contrast with cats mauling each other to death (or rather, to "sleep").
The second mode, "Crown Control", is nearly identical, but instead of wearing down HP meters, you're fighting for possession time of a crown. This plays much better than Tussle as the cat mechanics are better for fleeing and chasing than straight-up fighting, but I found it quite difficult to get anyone to actually lose their crown once wearing it. Good mode idea, but doesn't always work well.
In the vein of the Burnout series' Crash Mode, the third and best mode is "Destruction". Your cats are placed in a small area filled with stuff, and whoever racks up the most costly property damage wins. Tussle seems to be positioned as the main feature here, but this is clearly the superior part of the game.
I don't think Fisti-Fluffs does enough to set itself apart from other wacky indie fighters like Duck Game or Stick Fight in terms of gameplay. But the presentation is charming, the music and sound is great (like Duck Game's quack button, "A" always meows here), and there's a solid amount of customization for your cats. If you just can't get enough cats in your life and have other cat-lovers to play with, you could have a great time with this!
Be advised though, the performance gets pretty rough on Switch. When 3 or 4 cats are rushing around crashing into things, the frame rate stutters can be enough to make your attacks miss.
