Do I need to play Animal Well online with other players to solve the puzzles?
While the main game campaign can be completed entirely solo, the post-game contains an incredibly complex puzzle labyrinth designed for the community to solve together.

The developer, Billy Basso, built the game entirely from scratch without using a pre-built engine.
What kind of character do you play as in Animal Well?
Players control a small, unnamed blob-like character navigating a subterranean labyrinth. Because the character lacks traditional offensive abilities, you cannot attack or kill enemies. Instead, you must rely on platforming agility and strategic use of items like a frisbee and bubble wand to survive.
