Here they are, the winning designs drawn Meow Meow style. Ninja Squid by Ninjackid, and Anigiri by Kookizu. Coming to Meow Meow Happy Fight in an update very soon…

Thanks to everyone who entered the Meow Meow Happy Fight Design a Character contest. We had an amazing response to it, and some great ideas and sketches that surprised even us! It was very difficult for us to choose a winner, and so we’ve decided to choose 2 instead. So in no particular order the winning designs are:

• Ninja Squid from Ninjackid

• Anigiri from Kookizu

Congratulations to Ninjackid and Kookizu, you will be seeing these 2 new Meow Meow characters appearing in an update to the game soon. And congratulations also goes to the runners-up:

• Metal Bear from Metal Bear
• Rice Cooker from Joel
• The Can from Yusuf

We’ll post details of the runners-up designs and some of the others shortly. Thanks again to everyone who took the time to enter

In response to rumors originating from a recent game review podcast (which Cat Ball and the rest of Meow Meow Happy Fight characters thoroughly enjoy listening to each week), Cat Ball has released the following statement:

“After recent rumours Cat Ball would like to confirm and reassure the public that Cat Ball is not and/or has never been a hamster or associated with hamsters and their day to day activities. Cat Ball would also wish to distance itself from guinea pigs, gerbils and rabbits.” – Cat Ball
