Good game. Good use of only 2 buttons. The little bit of music is decent and the sfx are good. The graphics are nice. Also a good take on the punch out formula and most of all the name is awesome.

Cool game. The graphics are good and it's fun playing a boxing game.

Nice game! I wish there were more levels and more moves (maybe different combinations of buttons/timing?) Animation is great and gameplay is fun. I think I got lucky on my first try because I haven't won since :)

Loving the graphics and sounds! I agree with goffmog though, I wish there was more moves to do.

Overall though, great entry. That double punch is a killer!

While a bit confusing, it was fun. There were times that the enemy would just stand there and wouldn't get hurt... I'm not sure if that was intentional...

The gameplay didn't feel very solid but it was fun! The music is cool, you gotta' turn up the volume!

This looks really cool, it's a shame I still haven't figured out how to not suck at it. Doulbe tap dodging is tricky, and I don't feel like I can afford to fight the controls when even the easy opponent telegraphs so little. The sounds are good, but the music does not make me think of a boxing match at all - it's too slow for that. The double punch is an awesome idea, but I don't think this was the right game for me to pick up this genre. Though I had fun playing it, I ultimately found myself jealous of Saitama.

I just LOVE it. It reminds me my childhood and Amiga 500 times and for that I'm grateful.

Really fun but so hard for me. I want to punch everything fast! It's a great use of the 2 button controls :D

Great use of the theme, and the graphics and sound are nice.
Really challenging though, sometimes it feels like he hits like truck while I tickle his health down.

Nice entry! Mayeb a bit confusing to know when dodging or not, but still nice gameplay. I like the reference to Punch Out via gameplay and music guitar cover. Good job ;)

I did'nt get when I could keep boxing and when it's time to dodge. But it's definitly a very cool game and a clever use of the 2 buttons. AND lending the double punch on the opponent is very fun. great idea there !

Pro:
+ Nice idea, remind me of Punch-out!
+ Cool graphics and sound
Con:
- It was pretty hard due to little enemy telegraphing
- Controls seemed a little unresponsive
Obs:
o There could be a differentiation between using the right or left fist. Maybe there is, but I didn't notice it.

Great job!

As a huge fan of NES Punch Out, I couldn't help but smile when I saw your entry! I think you did a great job with only 2 buttons!! It took me some time to get used to it but once I got it down, it was pretty cool to dodge and supercharge hit the opponent. Overall very fun with great graphics. Good job!

left, right, left, right, left, right...you win!
Nice to see game that has basic concept as same style :)
Kind of reminded me of punch out with all the charge moves etc.
