Santa Cruz, California - March 28th, 2012 - Team2Bit’s Kickstarter campaign to fund the completion of their old school beat ‘em up game, Fist Puncher, has officially launched. The campaign runs through April 29th and aims to raise $10,000.
Fist Puncher follows a team of vigilantes led by Dr. Karate, world renowned neurosurgeon and black belt, as they perform unnecessary surgery on the crime lords that hold a lawless city in their brutal grip. The gameplay is true to the classic era of button mashing brawlers, as players choose from a diverse cast of characters and take to the streets to battle endless waves of thugs and ruffians. But Fist Puncher offers a deeper experience than the quarter eating games that made the genre famous, including RPG elements and a wealth of unlockable content. “Think Double Dragon meets Castle Crashers”, says studio co-founder Jake Lewandowski.
Already in development for over a year, Fist Puncher touts thousands of pixel art sprites and backgrounds that capture a nostalgic retro gaming aesthetic. The Kickstarter rewards range from copies of Fist Puncher to an appearance as a pixel art character in the game. Fans of Team2Bit’s appearance as Team Fist Puncher on IGN’s ‘The Next Game Boss’ can also receive a digital copy of Washington’s Wig, their running platformer featuring George Washington’s fictional dog and a similar 8-bit art style.
Fist Puncher is slated for release on Xbox LIVE Indie Games and PC, and Team2Bit hopes a successful Kickstarter will attract publishers and open doors to other platforms.
