Boxing Random
Boxing where the rules, the arms and the physics are randomised every single round. One button, total chaos.
Boxing Random is part of a family of deliberately unfair one-button sports games, and the randomisation is the entire design. Each round rerolls the gravity, the arm length, the jump height and sometimes the rules themselves, so no skill you developed in the last round necessarily carries over.
That sounds like a bad idea and works because the matches are five seconds long. Nobody gets to feel cheated for long, the lead swings constantly, and a first-to-five between two people sitting at the same keyboard is reliably funnier than a fair game would be.
Controls
Player one: W. Player two: up arrow. One button each
Tips
- Read the round before committing. The arms and gravity change every time and the last round tells you nothing.
- Jumping is usually defensive. Staying grounded wins more exchanges than flying at your opponent.
- In a long first-to-ten the randomness evens out, so patient play wins over the whole match.
