"The publisher's newest release comes from Team2Bit, who previously released the noteworthy IGN's Next Game Boss Winner, Washington's Wig for Xbox LIVE Indie Games. With so much history on it's side, it's easy to get excited for the release of the team's new game Fist Puncher, and you should, because the game is plenty of knuckle bashing fun."
Has there ever been a problem that couldn’t be solved by repeatedly punching it in or around the face? Honestly, as a society it’s time to bring back pure caveman (or cavewoman… because women can live in caves too) instinct and start punching things until life is normal again. Emotions? Punch things. Death? Punch everything. The knowledge of the terrifying end of all things and yourself in the inevitable heat death of the universe? Punch… well maybe not that. Fist Puncher may not solve your existential crisis, but it can take your mind off the endless monotony of everyday life with the joy of punching. You may also want to strap in for a trip to side-scrolling games of yore as this one is a modern take on the old classic Streets of Rage.
The button-mashing brawler's release kicks off a two game partnership with OUYA
Team2Bit brings their hit indie title, Fist Puncher, to the OUYA next week as part of a two-game deal. Launched last year after a successful Kickstarter, Fist Puncher is the creation of brothers Jake and Matt Lewandowski as an homage to classic beat em’ up 8-bit brawlers of yesteryear.
avoiderdragon: If you’re a bit tired of the platformers that have been coming out from the indie woodwork lately, but still want a bit of that nostalgic factor going on, then perhaps you can shift your attention to arcade beat-em-up games like this one. This genre is a big part of the retro arcade experience, when plenty of tokens were spent on games like Final Fight and Double Dragon. They’re easy to play and get into, which made them staples in the arcade back in the day. Developers who carry those memories from the olden days have now taken this experience into contemporary times.
