Boxing Star unleashes the beast with new animal-inspired MegaPunches and Gym equipment

Boxing Star, the beloved sports arcade game from ThumbAge, has just rolled out an exciting new update that's set to knock your socks off. If you thought the game was fun before, wait until you see what's new. The update introduces not one, but two new MegaPunches, those spectacular special moves that can turn the tide of any match. And that's not all—your gym now comes equipped with new training gear to help you buff up your boxer between bouts.

While traditional boxing sim enthusiasts might turn up their noses, there's no denying the sheer entertainment value of gamifying a sport. Boxing Star perfectly blends cartoonish antics with intense action, and with the addition of these new MegaPunches, the game just got even more thrilling. These MegaPunches are essentially your boxer's super moves, similar to Critical Arts in Street Fighter. Once your Hyper Gauge is charged, you can unleash these devastating blows to flatten your opponents. And the two new additions? They're nothing short of wild.

First up is Flame Bone, a fiery punch inspired by the mythical dragon. Not only does it engulf your opponent in flames, but it also deals extra damage based on critical hits. Then there's Frost Fang, which freezes your adversary in their tracks while dealing damage as long as the icy barrier remains. Both punches add a thrilling, animalistic flair to your arsenal.

It's not just about the punches, though. Boxing Star's latest update also brings new gym equipment to the table. The Deadlift machine boosts your skill damage stats and can be upgraded all the way to level 8, while the Training Timer helps you cut down the time needed to train your skills. These additions ensure your boxer is always in tip-top shape, ready to take on any challenge.

Sure, Boxing Star might not be a realistic simulation of boxing (unless you're imagining a match between Superman and the Hulk), but it more than makes up for it with its flashy, engaging content. And if you're in the mood to explore more arcade-style gaming beyond sports, why not check out Amusement Arcade Toaplan? It brings back classic hits from the '80s and lets you experience them on your own 3D arcade setup.
