Fun game, cool way to work in the theme. I liked the beanie bit to introduce the blinding mechanic. The fights and fighter animations felt pretty authentic to me, although I've only ever played the original Punch-Out. The mirror block gave me a bit of trouble at first, because the telegraph animations are long, and I was consistently using it too early. Good job!

Strategy spoilers, I guess. If other people are having trouble after playing the game, here's my Prima strategy guide:

I stumbled into a fairly consistent strategy that makes the game a lot easier, even in expert mode: spam right uppercuts until you're blocked, then spam left jabs, then go back to right uppercuts to repeat the cycle when the jabs are blocked. If you get blocked multiple times in a row, regardless of punch, be ready to dodge. You're probably going to get a telegraphed attack, after which you can go back to spamming. This doesn't fully stunlock the opponents, you're still going to need to dodge and block big attacks, but it does seem to prevent the random quick punches they can throw. I've beaten Expert mode 4 times doing this, with my best "time" being 9 seconds left on the final fight.

Thanks a lot!

That strategy is interesting, I wonder if you've found a nearly frame perfect rhythm to get a hit in in between state transitions 🤔 After a few landed hits in a few the last fighter actually goes into a very temporary input reading state so switching high/low punches should matter for the next couple seconds until it wears off (blocks dont contribute to this)

There are also a few frames at the end of the last fighters double power punch where you can get a hit in and soemtimes up to 4 hits because it shouldn't count toward that 3-hit -> read input to block special pattern, but you have to dodge it early enough to get back and land one.


That's a very nice expert time by the way, I've got 14 and 12 seconds once each and other thant hat its always 1-3 seconds left, so I was quite happy with the expert feel at least for the last fight.


Thanks for playing!
