The Punchbag Machine

A fast-paced pixel-neon rhythm roguelite where every missed punch can end your run. Hit falling notes, chain combos, upgrade your boxer, defeat 9 bosses, and climb the leaderboard.

Pixel-neon rhythm roguelite. Six punches. 27 machines. One shot per round. <h2 class="bb_tag" >What you do</h2> Notes fall — QWEASD top/bottom. A note hits the line, you press the right key, a punch lands. Dead center? PERFECT, full damage. Hold the combo, crack the score target, move to the next round. Miss the target — run's over, start again. Between every round: shop. Buy gloves, pick punch-cards, collect artifacts, refresh the lineup. Every third round, a boss waits with his own nasty twist. <h2 class="bb_tag" >Features</h2> <ul class="bb_ul"><li>6 punches, 6 machines, 9 bosses — left cross, uppercut, right cross, left hook, right hook, overhand. Each of the 6 regular machines weakens one of your punches. Each of the 9 bosses has its own signature mechanic: faster notes, trap notes, blackouts, smaller perfect windows. </li><li>One shot per round — miss the score target, lose the run. Combos crank up your damage; three misses in a row and the combo's gone. </li><li>Build your boxer — Punch-cards give flat damage bonuses to specific punch directions. Artifacts flip the game on its head — from &quot;money doubles&quot; to &quot;perfect-window half-size, but with crit-chance&quot;. </li><li>Shop after every round — gloves, cards, refreshes. Money's tight, the lineup rotates, every choice matters. </li><li>Cosmetics &amp; Wardrobe — collect tokens, unlock outfits &amp; skins, style your boxer. </li><li>Endless Mode — beat run 27? Nice. Now see how far you can push it before the machine wipes you out. </li><li>Pixel-neon look with coach attitude — hand-made pixel art, sound on the beat of every punch, a coach who won't pick you up. </li></ul> <h2 class="bb_tag" >Controls</h2> Keyboard: QWE on top, ASD on bottom — Q↖ W↑ E↗ / A← S↓ D→ Gamepad: Y/X/B on top, LB/A/RB on bottom <h2 class="bb_tag" >Who is this for?</h2> If you got hooked on Crypt of the NecroDancer, still have Punch-Out!! in your head, and love roguelite runs where no attempt looks like the last one — welcome to the ring. <h2 class="bb_tag" >About urdentstudios</h2> The Punchbag Machine is a solo development by urdentstudios.
