About the Game

The game follows the fictional story of a global pandemic that engulfed the world and is being ignored by fanatics who do not believe that the disease is real. It is up to the main characters, 4 common citizens adequately protected with gloves and masks, to deal with these fanatics and solve the situation with the force of their own fists.





● 4 Co-op Local Multiplayer!
● 4 Characters with unique Unlockables and Moves!
● Use everything at your disposal to destroy your enemies: a wide variety of punches, kicks, grabs and headbutts!
● Handmade art painfully animated frame by frame!
