My Pet Hooligan

Ever wanted to be a rule-breaker? Ever just wanted to feel the wind hit your face as you skateboard down a massive hill wearing nothing but your underwear? Well, My Pet Hooligan has you covered with all things adorable, unhinged and outrageous within their game. 

Gameplay

My Pet Hooligan has been in the works since 2021, and it’s come a long way from just being a game about rebellious bunnies. Set in Hooliland City, it throws players into a wild urban battlefield where once-oppressed rabbits have finally had enough of MetaZuckBot, the ruthless CEO of ZuckCorp. These bunnies aren’t just running away, they’re fighting back as Hooligans, forming factions with their own beliefs. Some want to bring down the corporate machine, while others, after a few too many “science experiments,” have ended up working for the enemy. 

The early access version packs four game modes, and they all bring their own kind of mayhem. Hangout Mode is an open-world sandbox where you can explore Hooliland, take on missions, and cause trouble. Some missions have you tearing down shady businesses, while others challenge you to parkour your way to the top of a building. But stir up too much chaos, and your Threat Level rises, putting you on ZuckCorp’s radar, basically a GTA-style wanted system but with corporate robot enforcers. If you’re not in the mood for missions, you can just cruise around the city and pull off skateboard tricks, because yes, this game lets you skate.

Then there’s Coinpocalypse, a deathmatch mode with a twist, players scramble for weapons while collecting coins scattered across the map. The player with the most coins at the end wins, but getting eliminated means dropping some of your loot, which adds a fun risk-reward element. Sometimes it’s smarter to keep collecting rather than diving headfirst into every fight.

If you’re all about pure action, Anarchy Mode is classic free-for-all deathmatch, where it’s every bunny for themselves. And for those who prefer teamwork, Organized Anarchy is team deathmatch, where two squads battle it out to hit 30 eliminations first, or whoever has the most when time runs out.

With its blend of open-world chaos, fast-paced shooter combat, and a full-blown bunny rebellion, My Pet Hooligan is shaping up to be a nonstop playground of mayhem. Add in its battle pass system, endless customization options, and a cast of hilariously unhinged bunnies, and it's the kind of game that keeps me entertained for days.

Review

My Pet Hooligan has so much going on that it feels like reviewing multiple games at once, so let’s break it down. Thankfully, Hangout Mode and the shooter modes share the same assets, making it easier to analyze everything at once. Visually, MPH looks surprisingly good, easily holding its own against mid-tier Web2 shooters. The art style is crisp, the animations are smooth, and the high-energy soundtrack keeps the adrenaline pumping while you run, gun, and cause absolute chaos.

Hooliland (The Hangout Map) itself is packed with environmental details that make the world feel alive. Objects like crates and tables react when broken, while explosive barrels and gas tanks can be used to turn the environment into a weapon. This isn’t just for show either. Blowing up an explosive near an enemy in PvP never gets old. The overall feel is reminiscent of classic GTA games like Vice City or Chinatown Wars, though the current version of Hooliland is relatively small and lacks NPC interactions. Missions scattered across the city add bits and pieces to the story of the chaotic world, but there’s a catch. No objective markers. If a mission sends you somewhere, you have to figure out where that is on your own. It adds a bit of exploration, but also some frustration for players who prefer clear guidance.

The weapon selection is massive, and it’s just as ridiculous as you’d expect. You’ve got everything from plunger sniper rifles and paintball guns to flamethrowers, bombs, and chainsaws, because what’s a Hooligan rebellion without explosives? The animations for these weapons are impressively detailed, with many having unique attack animations in mid-air, which is a nice touch. There are also plenty of little things that fill my gamer heart with joy, like burn/melt effects from flamethrowers, destruction physics, and being able to throw out emotes while in battle. On top of that, the skateboarding system is more than just an extra feature. You can actually pull off sick tricks while roaming the city, making it a fun distraction from all the carnage.

Now onto the PvP shooter modes, Anarchy, Organized Anarchy, and Coinpocalypse, which each bring their own spin on deathmatch-style gameplay. Weapons and carrots, which act as health pickups because even battle-hardened rebel bunnies need their veggies, spawn around the map, making map knowledge a key part of the game. But if you're the type who likes to camp in a corner and wait for the action to pass, think again. The minimap tracks enemy positions, and if someone spots you, your health bar stays visible on their screen for a while, even if you duck behind cover. Since hiding is basically useless, the best strategy is to keep moving, keep shooting, and embrace the anarchy. If you're going to get blasted, at least go down in a blaze of bunny glory, preferably while doing a sick double jump or launching yourself off a trampoline. The gunplay itself is fun but doesn’t have the depth of a tactical shooter. You won’t find CS:GO-style recoil control, bullet penetration, or bullet drop, but MPH isn’t trying to be that kind of game. Instead, it leans into fast-paced mobility, with sprinting, double jumps, and trampolines scattered across certain maps to keep the action flowing. While it’s not a hardcore FPS, it nails what it sets out to do, a casual, chaotic, and highly entertaining shooter where bunnies cause absolute mayhem.

What I love most about MPH is the IP it's building. These ridiculous, unhinged bunnies are pure entertainment, whether you're into the chill exploration of Hangout Mode or the chaos of the shooter modes. The customization is massive, with a huge variety of outfits ranging from cute and pop culture-inspired to straight-up unhinged, giving players full creative freedom to deck out their Hooli. If you love customization and wild characters like those in Fortnite, you’ll feel right at home.

Overall my My Pet Hooligan experience is a wildly fun mix of open-world exploration, chaotic shooter combat, and a cast of unhinged bunnies that never fails to entertain. Whether you're skating through Hooliland, causing destruction, or battling it out in PvP, there's always something happening. The game doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is exactly what makes it so enjoyable. Keep in mind, this is still an early access version, so I’m expecting even more content, especially for Hangout Mode, and quality improvements when the full game launches.
