UPDATE : This is a big update. The game is now in it's alpha version, which adds Mr. Sandman into the roster. He also has his own character guide. I'm going to try my absolute best to get this game to the official 1.0 version, so just stay tuned. I will start working on the game as soon as I get sprites for new characters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my recreation of Punch Out!! for the Arcade. I tried my best to recapture the experience of the original with the limitations I had to withhold. Enjoy! ★ Rules ★ - Get the Opponents health bar lower than yours! - Dodge the opposing punches, and then punch back! - Watch the eyes of the opponent! They will flash yellow before an impending attack! - Experiment where you throw your punches! Sometimes you will be rewarded with an instant KO! ★ Controls ★ Z - Left Gut Punch (Hook) X - Right Gut Punch (Hook) Left Arrow - Dodge Left Right Arrow - Dodge Right Up Arrow + Left Punch - Left High Punch (Jab) Up Arrow + Right Punch - Right High Punch (Jab) ★ Character Guides ★ GLASS JOE - Joe normally never punches, and lets you sneak in free punches, so maybe try to jab Joe and test your luck. When Glass Joe is about to do his special jab when he backs up, hit him with a well-timed blow to the stomach for an instant knock out. He only requires one knock-down to be out for the 10 count. PISTON HURRICANE - One of the tougher fighters, and throws punches faster, and more frequently. When he backs up for his Hurricane Rush, punch him in the gut for an instant knock down. Be careful on your timing. If you don't time it right, you only get a normal body blow that deals little health. The main form of damage is his uppercut. By dodging it, you are rewarded with a ton of stun time. You need to knock him down twice to get the knock out. He gives no free punches, so don't wail on him too much. PIZZA PASTA - Pasta is hard to knock down. When he does his infamous move where he grabs you, he will be frozen in place for a bit, and then will do a devastating uppercut. He does not have any instant knock down techniques. His attacks will deal a ton of damage, and most of his his moves reward you with mediocre stun time. However, the key to defeating him is intercepting his punches. When he stands still with his fist raised, wait for his eyes to flash yellow, and punch him. You will be rewarded with an incredible amount of stun time, but it is incredibly hard to land. He is probably the trickiest fighter of the bunch, due to his delay between his moves. Pasta sticks around, and will be hard to take out. You have to knock Pasta down 3 times for the TKO, and gain the victory. BALD BULL - Bald Bull doesn't have his famous rolling jabs, but just has straight jabs that deal a lot of damage. His uppercut deals half of your health, which are tricky to dodge due to his long delay. His hooks deal a quarter of your health. When he backs up to do his infamous "Bull Charge", he has a moment where just before he throws the uppercut, hit him in the gut with a well-timed blow. Like in all Punch Out games, he will fall down to the mat for an instant knock-down. In order to beat Bald Bull, you have to knock him down 3 times for a TKO. MR. SANDMAN - The last fighter of the demo. His moves are the strongest in the game. His Dreamland Express knocks you down in one hit, and you have to dodge all 3 uppercuts. He has alternate timings to his moves that makes him super hard to take out. He sticks around, and is hard to knock down, like Pizza Pasta. Instead, though, he can't be intercepted. If you dodge his Dreamland Express, you can hit him repeatedly. He won't use this move very often, however. He also requires a TKO for the win. He is the Champion of the World, so don't expect a cake walk.. I will update the game as it goes, I just need more sprites for Kid Quick (and possibly some from Super Punch Out!!), and the main player. Enjoy!
FUTURE UPDATE : I may add Super Punch Out!! Arcade characters in the game. I can already see a possibility of adding Bear Hugger, Dragon Chan, and Super Macho Man in this game, due to their appearance in Super Punch Out. Comment down below what you would want in a future update (Besides Kid Quick... Ripping sprites is harder than you think.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This project took me at least 2 days to make. I would like to give a special thanks to ZappyBarbecue10 for his Punch Out project. It ultimately inspired me to make this project! :) I REALLY wanted to use the Arcade Player 1 fighter (You know, the one with a green wire-frame body). But sadly, I couldn't find any sprites for it (Except for one sprite of the victory pose). I tried ripping it from MAME, but no results. I also wanted to include ALL of the arcade punch out opponents. I couldn't find Kid Quick sprite sheets anywhere. I guess this is a demo after all. Also, I was really proud of editing the Super Punch Out!! Arena into the arcade palette. It was hard to find the actual boxing ring in the arcade version, so I had to improvise. It was a long night... I hope you enjoy this project!
