Fly Punch Boom! Game Cover
Fly Punch Boom is quirky and fun, with the over-the-top battles making for some destructive and satisfying showdowns. However, the simplicity of its gameplay mechanics and its dependence on luck can grow a little repetitive over time – even if the battles themselves do remain utterly chaotic. Still, if you can get some friends together to join you for some battles, you’ll certainly have a good time with Fly Punch Boom. It’s very accessible and you’re guaranteed to get plenty of laughs out of its zany battles, even if lady luck isn’t on your side when playing. Just don’t expect the same level of depth or variety that you’ve seen in other titles in the fighting genre, with the game being best suited for a few small bursts here and there more than long play sessions.

"Fly Punch Boom!" is a chaotic and over-the-top aerial combat game where players control colorful characters with unique abilities. The game features local and online multiplayer for up to 4 players, as well as a single-player arcade mode. With fast-paced action and vibrant graphics, "Fly Punch Boom!" is a button-mashing good time.
