Streets of bums

Street of Bums is a chaotic one-button dueling game where two people sprint at each other with absolute confidence and terrible life choices, swinging whatever the dumpster donated. One hit decides it all. Earn cash and outlast your rivals. One walks away rich… the rest become the pavement.

About the Game

Twelve winters under bridges,Twelve summers slow-roasting on sidewalks.

Twelve years of being so invisible even pigeons don’t move when you walk by.

You play as Reggie, a homeless man ready to participate in phillidephia's (Kensington) deadliest underground tournament where you have to take out other opponents from the streets in different deadly games to become the last man standing and win a million dollars.

Your coat has more holes than a conspiracy theory.Your knuckles? Scarred from “disagreements” the city never bothered to record.

You can spot a sturdy pipe behind a dumpster like it’s treasure.

You know how to take a punch, spit out something that might be blood (might be yesterday’s soup), and keep standing.

You’re not fighting for glory.

You’re fighting so the next winter isn’t under a bridge… SO WISHLIST NOW !

Welcome to the rawest street-survival brawler ever made.

Play different gamemodes where you have to time certain attacks, or press the combination of buttons or just bash buttons like a madman.

-Back-Alley Joust – Hold on to your baseball bat, charge full speed, and slam into your opponent until only one is still breathing. Shopping carts highly encouraged.

-Boom tag– Throw, catch, panic. Repeat. Whoever’s holding it when it blows loses more than the round.

-Restroom Roulette – 2 revolvers. 2 bullets , one restroom. No hand soap. Spin the chamber and test your luck.

-Bar Brawl Blitz – Protect your last beer. Break bottles, stomp heads, and clear the dive bar by closing time.

-Dumpster Dive – Dig through garbage cans mid-match to find extra lives and question your decisions.

-Ale or Nothing - Tiptoe past street mines to grab stray beers, because sobriety is temporary but stepping wrong is forever.

And much more.......

There’s no tutorial. No helpful tips. No glowing arrow telling you where to cry.

Just grime, bad decisions, flying fists, and the daily struggle to protect your last slice of pizza like it’s a national treasure.

This isn’t a game for heroes.

It’s for true survivors of the streets.
