I'm a small developer that's created a couple of basketball games, but for my next title I wanted to create a boxing game inspired by the classic NES title Punch-Out!. It's called Prizefighters and I've been working on it since the beginning of the year and wanted to share some of the gameplay and features.
The controls have been designed so that there are no onscreen buttons. Depending on where you tap or hold on the screen, you can throw up to 8 different punches of varying strengths. Mix a few punches together and create your own combos for increasing damage.
Spoiler
Block your face or body from incoming punches by holding down two fingers.
Spoiler
Dodge by swiping left or right. If you time your dodge successfully, your opponent will become momentarily 'stunned' giving you the opportunity to land a knockout punch! Fail to dodge, however, and that can mean bad news for you.
Spoiler
Punch too often and your player will become fatigued and unable to attack. Stamina management will be key throughout the fight.
Spoiler
If three rounds pass without a knockout, the fight will go to the scorecards where the result will either be a draw, split, or unanimous decision decided by three judges.
Spoiler
There will also be a career mode where you begin at rank #30 and fight your way up against 29 other randomly generated opponents. Along the way are three different champions and by earning all the titles you'll become the undisputed champion.
Spoiler
After fights, you'll gain experience and coins which you can then spend on customization options, rating upgrades, or choose between one of two unique abilities in the skill tree every time you level up.
Spoiler
Other modes include an Arcade mode with modifiable game settings and an online head-to-head mode that will be coming in a later update. Prizefighters will be free to play with a planned release date of December 14th and an open beta coming in the next week or so. If you're interested in testing, PM me your email address as well as preferred device and invitations will be sent out when available.
Please let me know your thoughts on the game so far! I'll be sure to keep any feedback in mind as I continue developing the game.

Hey SHAKYR,
My twitter for the game is @KoalityGame. Thanks a lot for sharing! As a small dev, it's hard to be noticed so anything to spread the word is a really big help. Your support is much appreciated!

Of course! I was a huge fan of boxing video games growing up so I've been let down by what's available out there on the market. I'm doing what I can as an indie dev to give boxing fans at least a small and fun arcade game with RPG elements that they can play on the go
Really looking forward to your guys thoughts and impressions. I tried to add more depth into the player progression and career mode than you see in most arcade sports games. I also plan on adding multiplayer support at some point.
