rwaphael The mechanics of the game are very specific, I would recommend creating a Custom game, close the room and practice with bots, or better yet with a friend.
The thing is that you have to grab certain parts of the body. If you grab an animal by its head or arm, you won't be able to carry it properly and throw it far away. Taking the character by the body, you can do your dirty deeds 🙃 Also experiment with character "untwist" (pardon my English, I'm not a native speaker).
After giving the game some time, you will start to notice how you will get better and better <3
P.S. Maybe in this game you should not look for deep meaning, I think you just need to relax and enjoy it 🙂
