Undercard Physics Boxing

UNDERCARD is a physics boxing game. Every fighter is an active ragdoll - a real body moved by muscles - and a punch only counts if the glove physically lands. How hard it lands comes from the speed and the weight behind it.

Early build (v0.1.0) - feedback is very welcome!

What's in the ring

• Real physical punches: jabs, crosses, hooks and uppercuts that land (or don't) by collision. Hooks spin a man round, uppercuts lift him.
• Slip and counter: slip a punch and his aim is fooled for a second. Make him miss and your next clean shot is a COUNTER for double damage.
• Power punches: hold a punch to load it up. Only a loaded shot can smash through a raised guard - down the middle, and easier the more tired he is.
• Body work: liver and solar plexus shots fold fighters in half and wear down the health bar.
• Rope-a-dope: back onto springy ropes that physically give, and let him punch himself out - spamming punches burns stamina fast.
• A hidden daze meter, knockdowns with a 10-count you mash through, a referee, judges' scorecards and replays.

Modes

• Career: start on the undercard in a dodgy warehouse. Earn purses, buy training and special perks (equip three), and climb the rankings through the local hall and the casino ballroom to a world title fight in the arena. The higher you climb, the smarter they fight.
• Quick Fight with four AI difficulties
• Versus: two players on one computer (keyboard vs gamepad, or two gamepads)
• Training in the gym, and Watch a Fight
