About This Game

Pixel-neon action rhythm roguelite. Six punches. 27 machines. One shot per round.

Punch falling notes with six strike directions, chain combos, hit score targets and survive brutal machines. Miss the target — the run is over.

Between every round, visit the shop. Buy gloves, collect punch-cards, stack artifacts and build your boxer for the next fight. Every third round, a boss introduces a nasty new mechanic.

FEATURES

🥊 6 Punch Directions

Master left cross, uppercut, right cross, left hook, right hook and overhand punches.

🤖 27 Machines & 9 Bosses

Every machine weakens one of your punches. Bosses bring deadly twists: faster notes, trap notes, blackouts and tighter perfect windows.

💀 One Shot Per Run

Miss the score target and your combo ends. Hold the combo to maximize damage — but mistakes cost everything.

🃏 Build Your Boxer

Punch-cards increase specific punch damage. Artifacts can completely change a run — from doubled money to risky crit builds.

🛒 Shop Every Round

Buy gloves, cards and rerolls. Money is limited, choices matter.

♾️ Endless Mode

Beat run 27? Keep pushing until the machine breaks you.

👕 Cosmetics & Wardrobe

Unlock outfits, skins and customize your boxer.
