Testimonials

Friendships frayed, friendships saved! Frayed Ally is fast, frantic fun with anthropomorphic animals battling it out on the mean streets of Sewer City at Uno-like speed and intensity. What's not to like? - The Tuesday Review

I especially resonated with the 'jump-in' style of gameplay, trying to steal the kill away from other players. I also liked the simplicity of the game and how fast-paced it was. - Angus (Game Tester)

Got to playtest this at PAX AUS. It's a great little game that has more depth than you might initially think. The battle royale aspect has never been so cute, eloquent, and strategically timed! - Alex (Level Up Dice)

The art style is amazing, and the gameplay is very fun and easy to pick up. Mystery and strategy in finding out who the villain is make each game very different. Bombs also give off a bit of an exploding kitten vibe and spice up the game very nicely. - Thomas (Game Tester)
