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

While purists might turn up their noses, the undeniable charm of gamification over strict simulation lies in its sheer fun factor. Take ThumbAge's hit arcade sports game, Boxing Star, for example. It's a delightful blend of exaggerated expressions and intense action, and now, it's getting even more exciting with the addition of two new MegaPunches!

MegaPunches are essentially super moves, similar to Critical Arts in Street Fighter. Once your Hyper Gauge is sufficiently charged, you can unleash these devastating blows to knock your opponents flat. Boxing Star boasts a variety of these powerful moves, and the latest update introduces two more for eager boxers to master.

The new MegaPunches bring an animalistic twist to the game. Flame Bone, inspired by the mythical dragon, engulfs your attack in flames, dealing damage based on critical hits. On the other hand, Frost Fang infuses your punch with ice, freezing opponents in their tracks and causing damage while the icy barrier is up.

It's not just about the new MegaPunches, though. Boxing Star's latest update also includes new gym equipment to help you train your character between fights. The Deadlift machine boosts your skill damage stats and can be upgraded up to level 8, while the Training Timer reduces the time needed to train your skills.

Sure, Boxing Star might not be a realistic simulation of boxing—unless you're imagining a match between Superman and the Hulk—but it certainly doesn't skimp on the flashy, engaging content.
