- New official soundtrack: "Animal Striker 2 – Battle"

Animal Striker 2 is free to play and runs even on low-end PCs. Bring your friends and jump into the arena! Found a bug or have an idea? Tell me in the Steam discussions: I read everything. And if you enjoy the game, leaving a review on Steam helps a small indie game a lot!
See you in the arena! - Fabiano
