StickFist - Retro Karate

STICKFIST is a retro one-on-one fighting game in the spirit of the arcade classics — International Karate, Way of the Exploding Fist, Yie Ar Kung-Fu — reimagined for your phone, with everything drawn and composed from scratch.

Two buttons, real depth. Punch and Kick — that's it. But your stance turns them into six attacks that beat and lose to each other. A high kick sails over a ducking foe; a sweep goes under their guard; an overhead cracks a crouch. Nothing to memorise, plenty to master.

A championship with a story. Start unranked at #21 and fight your way up a ladder of twenty rivals — each with their own look and fighting style — all the way to Master Nib, the reigning champion who adapts to how you play. Best of three rounds, no repeat opponents, a ranking board between every fight.

Ten arenas, ten skies. Fight through snow on the Frozen Shrine Steps, rain and lightning on the Storm Rooftop, embers at the Volcano Forge, petals in the Sakura Courtyard, and more — every one hand-built from vector art with its own weather.

Made from nothing but code. No stock art, no licensed music — every fighter, arena and note of the chiptune soundtrack is generated from scratch.
