Punch-kun is a free Streets of Rage-style beat-em-up you can play directly in your browser. No download, no login, no install. Just open the page on a desktop or laptop and start fighting. Inspired by classic 90s brawlers, it follows a Japanese macaque escaping captivity across 15 hand-crafted levels.
Keyboard controls — works on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on Windows and Mac.
The game takes place across three distinct zones with unique environments, enemy types, and music. Each zone ends with a boss fight before the story continues.
Eight named boss characters, each with their own attack patterns and entry sequences. Bosses include The Zookeeper, Animal Control, Jack, Zamza, Jack & Zamza (dual boss), The Poacher, Bolo & Dolo (The Guerilla Brothers), and the final boss King Rojo.
Complete the game with a flawless run to enter your name on the Hall of Legends global leaderboard. Scores are stored in real time. Can you make the top 10?
Between story chapters, unlock the MonkeyRunner side-scrolling bonus stage. Dodge obstacles, collect bananas, and rack up bonus points before returning to the main fight.
Punch-kun runs entirely in the browser using WebGL. No app store, no executable, no account. Desktop only — requires a keyboard. Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
