Save the drama for a llama<\/h2>

I’m back on my stupid-games-involving-animals bullshit, y’all. As a note to game developers, if you put alpacas, llamas, or pretty much any animal into a game with little rhyme or reason, there’s at least a 60% chance I’m going to cover it.<\/p>

Austrian developer Salt Castle Studio figured that out. They put alpacas in a party game revolved around soccer, and well, here we are.<\/p>

<\/iframe><\/p>

With Alpaca Ball: Allstars<\/em>, what you see if what you get. It’s a soccer party game starring customizable alpacas. It looks like there are some variations for hockey, American football, and volleyball in there, too. But instead of people<\/em> playing soccer<\/em>, it’s alpacas. It’s genius.<\/p>

Speaking of genius, the presser we were sent has some next-level puns Look at this:<\/p>

“Peru-ve yourself on the Picchu and win those Machus!”<\/p> <\/blockquote>

I literally cannot top that. I’m going to try, but I’m going to fail. Here’s one:<\/p>

“You’re either gonna be mountin’ a come-baaaaa-ck or alpaca-ing your baaaaags if you don’t hoof it!”<\/p> <\/blockquote>

Wasn’t that terrible? My mother doesn’t speak to me or read my stuff, but I’m just praying they don’t have internet in hell in case she stumbles across this.<\/p>

Alpaca Ball: Allstars<\/em> will hit Switch and Steam later this year.<\/p>
