How the game works
Step
From the moment you drop into the arena, your only resource is Hits — the currency you earn by punching other players. Spend those Hits to unlock gloves with stronger punch power and faster movement speed. Knocking a player out of the arena rewards a bonus on top of your normal Hits.
- Land a punch hit anyone at all to start earning Hits right away.
- Check your unlocks see what your current Hit total can buy.
- Aim for ring-outs launching an opponent off the arena edge adds a bonus to what you collect.
- Unlock abilities Hits also unlock abilities such as Ground Pound, Double Jump, and Bomb Punch, so keep spending as your total grows.
The four game modes
Table
Punch Up runs up to fourteen players across several modes. The right tactics in one mode can be the wrong ones in another, so knowing the goal before the round starts matters.
| Knockout | Be the last glove standing; getting knocked out ends your round. |
| King of the Ring | Stay inside the ring the entire time; leaving it loses you the match. |
| FFA (Free-For-All) | Hold the crown continuously; keeping it for ten unbroken minutes is the ultimate goal. |
| 1 vs All | One player is the Boss and must beat every other player to win. |
