Description
FLY PUNCH BOOM! is a wild anime fighter with huge destructible levels chock-full of unique stage kills.
Wanna punch your pals so hard they shoot into the moon's butt? Wanna digest your enemy, then fart them out so hard everything explodes? Wanna smash an Elvis lookalike bird into the Earth with such power that the planet splits in two? Wanna dropkick your best friend so hard they fly around the world and come back, only to be dropkicked again until their head flies off? Ever got uppercutted with such gusto that you got kidnapped by aliens?
FLY PUNCH BOOM! says YES to all this, and more. It's everything you've seen in your favorite anime fights: fly fast and smash your friends in the face until their expressions go all wonky; make them shoot off into collapsing buildings, krakens, killer cotton candy, or in space. Ram skyscrapers, whales and asteroids into your enemy, then fly towards them before they wake up and unleash over-the-top super moves. It's all about the joy of punching.
History
The idea for the game revealed itself while watching Kung Fu Panda 3. As anime teaches us, the power of fighting moves is shown in the effects on the face of the receiver, and in the destruction of the environment. Not enough games have fun with that, so Jollypunch Games has been hard at work on it since the first half of 2016.

Selected Articles
- "Fly Punch Boom! is pure hyperactive anime-style fighting madness fused with Looney Tunes exuberance, where two combatants take to the air to pummel each other into cartoony piles of pulp.[...] The goal isn’t just to win, but to have a blast being as over-the-top as possible while doing it."
- James Cunningham, Hardcore Gamer - "It looks utterly ludicrous, and we can only imagine that it’s even more fun to play. Oh, and you can kick someone up the moon’s bum. Because of course you can."
- Henry Stenhouse, AllGamers - "If you know anything about Dragon Ball Z, you're probably know it for the moments of mountain-shattering, world-cracking, energy-unleashing fighting. But beyond the actual licensed games, few games have attempted to capture the destruction and dynamic nature of those fights[...] Fly Punch Boom looks like it could change that, if its colorful cartoonish displays of planet shattering blows are any indication."
- Christian Valentin, IndieGames.com
