They sound and look like cats but have an abnormally long body. The goal of the game is to use your body and butt to knock other Nyanvy off the stage and become the last one standing. The winner will become the &#8220;self-proclaimed true cat.\u201d Judging from the trailer shown above, Nyanvy can also spin attack the opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fights take place on a rooftop, on top of buses, or on a circular platform with two spinning beams, which is reminiscent of the <em>Fall Guys<\/em>\u2019 Jump Club stage. Available game modes include custom matches, where you can play freely, and rating matches, where you compete against other players online. You can customize Nyanvy\u2019s face, tail, body-color, and more. I don\u2019t know what it means to become a \u201cself-proclaimed true cat,\u201d but it looks to be a joyful game to play.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220113-188603-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Nyaaaanvy<\/em> is being developed by RRR and Doa, who are both game developers and content creators.
