Pulling No Punches

Set in a fictional city during a pandemic, the game follows four ordinary citizens who confront people denying the disease and spreading misinformation. Its story uses the crisis as the setting for political satire. Fight through side-scrolling brawls using punches, kicks, grabs, headbutts, and weapons. Each character has distinct moves, with additional techniques to unlock as you progress. Play the campaign alone or team up with as many as three others in local co-op. Characters and scenes are animated frame by frame in a comic-inspired style.

In a hand-drawn 2D brawler, four masked citizens fight pandemic denial with fists, weapons, and local co-op.
