PLAY


Web version | Mac App | Windows App | source

TIPS


Players must start by gaining fuel for their fist by collecting the yellow orbs on the planet, once your fist has enough power (indicated by the power bar on the wrist), you are able to move it, and punch (press both left and right fist buttons together).

Try dashing through your opponent to dizzy them while you manoeuvre you fist to smash them.

First player to smash the other player 5 times wins! (indicated by the coloured HUD inside the world.)

ESC to return to the menu.

Nice idea. A novel approach to the theme and great to see a 2-player game on here. The art style is gorgeous (especially the smoke and the run cycle) and being chased by a massive fist is really funny/scary. The controls are quite difficult on a keyboard, though they are much easier on a gamepad. It is tricky to concentrate on moving the fist and moving the player, but I quite like this cognitive overload as it adds to the madness of the giant fist.

Wow, this is a great 2-player game, it is short and sweet, the animations and general art direction are soooo juicy!

Controls are tight and the music is energetic and fitting, my only problem with this game are the controls, they are positioned weirdly... I would like an option to set the fist movement to 'Q' and 'E' for the WASD player, and using the number pad for the other player, movement being 8456, and using 7 and 9 for the fist movement.

Other than that, this is just amazing. Great entry! One of my favorites!
