Review: This was freaking breathtaking! The short but sweet demo showcased clear signs of passion and attention to detail! The gameplay has such a retro feel but with designed with very contemporary design choices. The visuals gives you a hint of retro but doesn't spoil the artstyle by limiting colors or data space. The sound is the only part that isn't full retro, but guess what? THAT IS THE RIGHT CHOICE! I much dislike when retro games distort audio just to make it more "retro", and that is not the correct way to do it, the Big Boy way is the way to go!
The developers are obviously long time fans of Retro games as Punch-Out is a very hidden gem and hasn't been remade or inspired Indie games in the modern times. I would love to hear more about them and would love to invite them to a Developer talk! (DM me anytime)
TLDR; 10/10 (For now) The perfect game for Retrotime lovers, and for any contemporary indie game audience! Can't wait to see future progress!
What a demo! Had so much fun, and the gameplay is really good! Maybe some of the visuals need a touch up but is still very very veery good for this stage! The gameplay and character are top-notch and I just want to see more!
I would happily pay a premium price for the final product!
I had to create an itcho account solely for this game application! add mike tyson or some other boxing would be an awesome fit with coach hank! love what you guys are doing and i will be opening my wallet when the steam or switch launch comes!
I am so ready for this. Punch Out was one of my favorite childhood games and this was nostalgic AF lol Great work on this game. I am looking forward to seeing it release!
could not rate this game higher! Its crazy that this is a free download. I can tell you have put a lot of effort into the controls, art and gameplay! Good Job!

This demo was amazing, a really good show of what the finished game may look like.
The comedy and animation was very expressive and had me laughing!
The gameplay was and very challenging in a good way, it was very rewarding to finally beat the boss!
I would certainly recommend this and look forward to playing the full version some day.
Fantastic work so far!

Extremely well produced demo!! The big publishers will fight over this?
This is a "Fine I'll do it myself" if I've ever seen one. Good luck with development

You guys're doing what Nintendo isn't, and it looks insanely promising! Hopefully more people will find this gem.

the gameplay has got immense potential! so simple yet challenging, but ultimately rewarding.
