Gameplay

The game is an endless runner, with the goal of punching through as many monsters as possible, collecting punchos (the game's currency) along the way. The character is controlled by tapping either side of the screen. Hitting the left side of the screen uppercuts and slams opponents downward, while hitting the right performs a forward-dashing jab. As the game progresses, the player builds a meter of three special attacks, purchasable with the punchos you earn each level. Each special attack is unique, and can be swapped out for others in the customization menu along with other outfit customization options, which are also purchasable.^[2]
