About Wally and the FANTASTIC PREDATORS
Wally and the FANTASTIC PREDATORS is a perma‑death rogue‑lite where you control Wally, a predatory fox who raids animal homes for money. The game is fast‑paced, smooth, and rewards aggressive play while punishing each death with a full reset.
Beyond the core run, the title adds daily twists, local co‑op, and a sprawling set of dungeons, upgrades, curses, and boss encounters. Its quirky attitude and community‑focused development give it a distinct charm that keeps runs feeling fresh despite the high difficulty.
01 / THE GUIDE
Core Rogue‑Lite Mechanics
Each run begins with Wally’s basic moveset and a modest weapon. As you explore, you collect upgrades, curses, weapons, and quests that permanently alter the current session, sometimes positively, sometimes negatively. Dying triggers a perma‑death reset, erasing progress and starting a brand‑new run.
The system encourages risky choices, such as trading max health for a glass‑cannon build, and the multitude of stackable passives creates countless synergies. The game’s design ensures that no two runs feel identical.
- Experiment with both positive upgrades and curses to discover unexpected synergies.
- Consider a balanced approach before swapping all health for high damage; the reset can be unforgiving.

Daily Twists
Every day the game introduces a new twist that modifies the rules of that run—examples include a 50 % chance of a bonus bomb, starting with maximum movement speed, or a curse that makes every bomb fire a fireball at you. These twists are applied at the start of a daily or weekly run and remain for the entire session.
Twists can dramatically shift strategy, turning a typical run into a glass‑cannon sprint or a bomb‑heavy challenge. Because they reset with each death, players experience a fresh set of constraints each time they begin anew.
- Read the daily twist description before starting to adapt your load‑out early.
- Use twists that boost speed if you prefer aggressive, fast‑paced runs.

Local Co‑op Mode
Wally supports a local co‑op mode that uses shared/split‑screen play. Only one copy of the game is required, allowing a friend to join without purchasing a second license. The co‑op mode lets you play alongside a friend locally, sharing the game's chaotic runs and twists together.
Because the game is built around perma‑death, dying resets everything, preserving the high‑stakes tension of each run. The mode is designed for local play only, with no online netcode required.
- Coordinate with your partner on upgrade choices to avoid conflicting curses.
- Practice communication early to handle sudden twists together.

Content Scope
The title features ten distinct dungeons, five boss fights, and five single‑player run types. Players can pursue a true ending, though its nature remains a mystery. Branching paths let you trade health for damage, encouraging varied playstyles across runs.
With over 150 upgrades, curses, weapons, quests, and daily twists, the game promises years of discovery. The combination of these elements creates a deep, replayable experience despite the steep difficulty curve.
- Explore each dungeon fully to uncover hidden upgrades and quests.
- Track which boss patterns change when you alter your health‑damage balance.
