Why did the chicken cross the road? To box!

Idle Boxing is an ultra fast paced boxing simulator that hurtles players headfirst into a world of shirtless men and physical violence! By tapping left and right to swing punches at your opponents, players embark upon a quest to mow down countless droves of comically costumed enemies, rack up trainers and topple the champion of the arena.

Starting as a limp armed, vested boxer sporting a colourful mohawk; players fight their way through wave after wave of angered grunts, whittling down the numbers before coming face to face with each level’s humorously muscular boss character. Be it chicken, mime or hippopotamus, the stylistic variety of enemies throughout each stage allows the experience to maintain an enjoyable pacing and feeling of originality over the course of one’s playtime. With the endless barrage of punches interlaced with unlockable cosmetic upgrades ranging from bomb themed gloves to sumo outfits, one can garner a perpetual sense of accomplishment and enjoyment whilst playing Idle Boxing.

Overall the experience offers a hilariously silly, punch em up that twists the much beloved sport of boxing into a frantic, carnival of brutality spun together with delightful graphics, ragdoll physics and countless power ups. Quick to pick up and hard to put down, this game is a fighting fan‘s dream, perfect for both long sessions and a quick blast of brawling action on the go.
