Pulling No Punches

Pulling No Punches is a satirical 2D beat ’em up set during a fictional pandemic. Its arcade fights use exaggerated characters and a pointed sense of humor. The PC version can be tried through Winlator, but this build has no verified Android result.

Storyline

A public-health crisis is made worse by people who deny that it exists. The game’s caricatures turn that refusal into the backdrop for a street-level brawl.

Gameplay

Move across side-scrolling stages, face groups of enemies, and use attacks that keep a crowd from surrounding you. The rhythm follows classic arcade beat ’em ups: clear one space, survive the next, and learn when to commit to a stronger move. The satire is inseparable from the action, so its subject matter is as much a reason to choose or avoid it as the combat.

If it launches, test at 720p with low settings first; performance depends on the phone GPU, driver, game version, and translation overhead.
