Furball Mania is a side-scrolling action game for phones and desktop browsers. The game saves progress, so players can return later.

The game uses a custom engine built on the HTML canvas element. This engine controls rendering, 2D physics, enemy waves, weapons, and pickups.

It uses no third-party game framework. This keeps the download small and gives the game direct control of each frame.

Furball Mania installs as a PWA. It supports touch controls and a keyboard.
