Forest Boxing

Night in a forest clearing. A ring of logs and ropes, spectators on the benches, fireflies over the canvas, and a lion in round glasses raising his paw. Time to box.

Forest Boxing is a 3D fighting game about animals in gloves. Twenty bouts, four championship belts, from a warm-up against a hedgehog to the title fight with Prowler, King of the Forest.

Eight fighters, each fighting differently. Hopper the Hare is fast but fragile, throwing more punches than anyone. Mishka the Bear soaks up twice the punishment and ends things with one uppercut. Between them sit the fox, the badger, the wolf, the boar and the long-armed moose. A new fighter unlocks every three wins.

Acorns from the ring are spent at the Sturdy Stump gym: four branches of six levels — power, speed, stamina, health. Training carries over to every fighter you own.

Three one-minute rounds, knockdowns with a count to ten, a judges' decision if nobody falls.
