Our take on Animal Academy
The academy and graduation setup gives the game a story frame, while the described play centers on timed monster fights, coins, and perks. The page provides specific details about weapons, stages, and survival, but little about how the academy story develops during play.
What is Animal Academy?
Play as a baby hedgehog entering an animal academy and facing monsters in a bid to graduate.
The game centers on surviving for 10 minutes, with four stages and nine weapons featuring animal characteristics. Skills draw on the powers of eight animal masters, and dropped items support survival during play. Coins earned through gameplay can be spent on perks that borrow the masters’ powers. The play guide describes earning coins, using them to get a perk, and then fighting more monsters with a hedgehog strengthened by that perk. The game is presented as a casual rogue-lite built around timed survival challenges.
