Top-down boxing in a cyberpunk underground ring. Close punches score more — get in your opponent's face for maximum damage, but risk taking hits yourself. First to 100 points triggers a KO. Best of 3 rounds, 2 minutes each.
In Retro Games solo mode, you control the left boxer while the AI controls the right boxer. Difficulty changes how tightly the AI tracks range, dodges, and times punches.
Controls
- Arrow keys / WASD — Move boxer (8 directions)
- Space / Shift — Punch (alternates left/right arm automatically)
Rules
- Distance-based scoring: close punch = 3 points, medium = 2, long range = 1
- First to 100 points scores a KO — the round ends immediately
- If the 2-minute timer runs out, the fighter with more points wins the round
- Tied at time-up goes to Player 1 (host)
- Best of 3 rounds — first to 2 round wins takes the match
- Punches are edge-triggered — tap to punch, no holding for rapid fire
- Each punch has a brief cooldown before you can punch again
- Boxers cannot pass through each other — body collision pushes the mover back
- No blocking — defense is all about movement and spacing
Inspiration
Based on Activision's Boxing (1980) for the Atari 2600.
